Using the Radio Data System (RDS) (continued)
AN-PR1500H
Using the Auto Station Programme
Memory (ASPM)
Whilst in the ASPM operation mode, the tuner will automatically search for new RDS
stations. Up to 30 stations can be stored.
If you have already stored some stations in memory, the number of new stations you
can store will be less.
1
Press the TUNER button on the remote control to select the FM
band.
2
Press and hold down the SHIFT and RDS ASPM button on the
remote control for at least 3 seconds.
1 After "ASPM" has flashed for about 4 seconds, scanning will start (87.50 -
108.00 MHz).
2 When an RDS station is found, "RDS" will appear for a short time and the
station will be stored in memory.
3 After scanning, the number of stations stored in memory will be displayed
for 4 seconds, and then "END" will appear for 4 seconds.

To stop the ASPM operation before it is complete:
Press the SHIFT and RDS ASPM button whilst it is scanning for stations.
The stations which are already stored in memory will be kept there.
Notes:
If the same station is broadcasting on different frequencies, the strongest
frequency will be stored in memory.
Any station which has the same frequency as the one stored in memory will not be
stored.
If 30 stations have already been stored in memory, the scan will be aborted. If you
want to redo the ASPM operation, erase the preset memory.
If no station is stored in memory, "END" will appear for about 4 seconds.
If the RDS signals are very weak, station names may not be stored in memory.
To erase all of the contents of preset memory:
1 Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the power stand-by mode.
2 Press CLEAR/DISPLAY button for more than 2 seconds until "TUNER CLEAR"
appears.
After performing this operation, all of the preset memory information will be erased.
To store a station name again if the wrong name was stored in memory:
It may be impossible to store station names in memory using the ASPM function if
there is lots of noise or if the signal is too weak. In this case, perform as follows.
1 Press the PRESET ( or ) button to check whether the names are correct.
2 If you find a wrong name whilst receiving the station, wait until the correct name is
displayed and then press the MEMORY/DIMMER button.
3 Within 30 seconds, press the MEMORY/DIMMER button whilst the preset channel
number is flashing.
The new station name has been stored in memory correctly.
