Listening to the Radio—Continued
With the Preset Write function, you can manually preset
individual FM radio stations. Presets make it easy to
select your favorite stations and eliminate the need to
tune the radio manually each time you want to change
stations.
FM stations can also be preset automatically (see
page 23).
About Presets
You can store up to 30 FM stations as presets.
1
Tune into the station that you want to store
as a preset (see page 23).

Press and hold down the [PRESET
MEMORY] button to the preset number
flashes.
When the preset has been stored, the preset number
will change from blinking to steadily lit.
Preset numbers are automatically stored starting
with the lowest unused number.
If all 30 presets have been set, the display will
indicate “Preset FULL,” and no further presets can
be stored. You’ll need to erase an existing preset
before storing another one.

(see pages 23 to 24).

What is RDS?
RDS stands for Radio Data System and is a method of
transmitting data in FM radio signals. It was developed
within the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and
many European FM radio stations use it these days.
The unit supports and displays Program Service Name
(PS) and Radio Text (RT) RDS data.
The RDS indicator appears on the display when the unit
is tuned to an FM station that supports RDS.
Note:
• If the signal from an RDS station is weak, RDS data
may be displayed intermittently or not at all.
• The message “Waiting” may appear while the RT data
is being received.
