Before listening to an RDS broadcast, follow the instructions below to store the RDS stations in the preset memory. Up to 40 stations can be preset, and then receivied with the touch of a single button. This receiver uses the Radio Data System (RDS) to provide convenient tuning functions like PTY search and EON reser- vation.
Page 27: Presetting Radio Stations Manually
The RDS auto memory function assigns preset numbers to RDS stations starting from preset number "1". Therefore, be sure to execute the RDS auto memory function before using the following operations to manually store AM stations and other FM stations, and RDS stations. “Presetting RDS stations (RDS AUTO MEMORY)”.
