Storing the strongest broadcast
frequencies
BSM (best stations memory) lets you automa-
tically store the six strongest broadcast fre-
quencies under the preset tuning keys “Preset
1” to “Preset 6” and, once stored there, you
can tune in to these frequencies with the
touch of a key.
1 Touch
on the “Tuner” screen.
2 Touch [BSM].
3 Touch [Start] to begin a search.
“BSM” begins to flash. While “BSM” is flash-
ing, the six strongest broadcast frequencies
will be stored under the preset tuning keys
“Preset 1” to “Preset 6” in order of their signal
strength. When this is complete, “BSM” stops
flashing.
p To cancel the storage process, touch
[Stop].
p Storing broadcast frequencies with BSM
may replace broadcast frequencies you
have already saved.
Switching the seek mode

ting.

p If you select “HD” onthis setting while
[Blending] is set to “Analog”, the setting
on [Blending] turns to “D/A Auto” automa-
tically.

Local seek tuning allows you to tune in only
those radio stations with sufficiently strong
signals for good reception.

2 Touch [Local].
3 Touch [On] to turn local seek tuning on.

There are four levels of sensitivity for FM and
two levels for AM:
FM: 1 — 2 — 3 — 4
AM: 1 — 2
p The FM “4” (AM “2”) setting allowsrecep-
tion of only the strongest stations, while
lower settings let you receive weaker sta-
tions.
Switching the reception mode

poor, the tuner automatically switches to the
analog broadcast of the same frequency level
by default. If you want to prevent a frequent
automatic switching, switch this setting to
[Analog].
