MODE SELECTOR
During radio operation, each momentary press of this button will
change the radio band. The indication “AM”, “FMI”, or “FMII” will
appear on the display panel according to your selection.
Pressing and holding the button for longer than 2 seconds will
activate the Auto-Store Tuning function which will automatically
scan the AM or FMII bands and enter strong stations into the
pre-set memory positions for that band. If you have already set
the pre-set memories on the AM or FMII bands to your favorite
stations, activating the Auto-Store feature will erase those stations
and enter new ones. This feature is most useful when traveling in
a new area where you are not familiar with the local stations.
Momentary presses of this button are also used to select the
audio source or mode in play. During tape play, it can be used to
change to radio mode without ejecting the cassette ( IN indication
will remain on display panel to show that a cassette is still loaded in

radio play. If an optional CD changer is connected to the unit, this
button is also used to select CD changer operation as described in cq.

During radio operation, press this button to scan the stations on
the band in use, stopping at each one for 5 seconds before
continuing to the next station (the frequency on the display panel
