Saving station presets

If you often listen to a particular radio station, it's convenient
to have the receiver store the frequency for easy recall
whenever you want to listen to that station (Preset tuning).
This saves the effort of manually tuning in each time. This unit
can memorize up to 30 stations.

See Tuning above for more on this.
2 Press MEMORY/PROGRAM.
The preset number will flash.
3 Press PRESET +/– to select the preset
channel number.
4 Press MEMORY/PROGRAM to store that
station in memory.
If the preset number has changed from flashing to lighting,
before the station is memorised, repeat the operation from
step 2.
• Repeat steps 1 to 4 to set other stations, or to change a
preset station. When a new station is stored in the
memory, the station previously memorised for that
preset channel number will be erased.
Note
• The backup function protects the memorised stations for
a few hours should there be a power failure or the AC
power cord become disconnected.
