Receiving the stored stations
1 Press (SOURCE) repeatedly to select
the radio.
2 Press (MODE) repeatedly to select the
band.
3 Press the number button ((1) to (6))
on which the desired station is stored.
Tip
Press either side of (DISC) to receive the stations in
the order they are stored in the memory (Preset
Search function).
If preset tuning does not work
Press either side of (SEEK) to search
for the station (automatic tuning).
Scanning stops when the unit receives a
station. Repeat until the desired station is
received.
Tips
If automatic tuning stops too frequently, turn on the
Local Seek to limit seek to stations with stronger
signals (see Changing the sound and display
settings on page 19).
If you know the frequency of the station you want to
listen to, press and hold either side of (SEEK) to
locate the approximate frequency, then press
(SEEK) repeatedly to fine adjust to the desired
frequency (manual tuning).
If FM stereo reception is poor
Select monaural reception mode
(see Changing the sound and display
settings on page 19).
The sound improves, but becomes monaural
(ST disappears).
Note
If interference occurs, this unit will automatically
narrow the reception frequency to eliminate noise (IF
Auto function). In such cases, some FM stereo
broadcasts may become monaural while in the stereo
reception mode.
Tip
To always hear FM stereo broadcasts in stereo, you
can change the IF Auto setting and widen the
frequency signal reception (see Changing the sound
and display settings on page 19). Note that some
interference may occur in this setting.

If you try to store another station on the same number
button, the previously stored station will be erased.
