Preset Tuning
Using the remote, up to 30 stations may be

the front panel controls or the remote.
To enter a station into the memory, first tune the
station using the steps outlined above. Then:
1. Press the Memory button
Y
on the remote.
Note that two underscore lines will appear in the
Main Information Display

.
2. Within five seconds, press the Numeric
Keys
H
corresponding to the location where
you wish to store this station’s frequency. Once
entered, the preset number will appear in the
Main Information Display

. When storing
stations in memory locations beginning with 1, 2
or 3, wait until the display stops blinking if you
want to use only one digit, or enter the second
digit while the display is blinking. As long as the
display is blinking, it is still waiting for a possible,
second digit. This does not apply for locations
4,5,6 etc., as these cannot be combined with
two-digit locations.
3. Repeat the process after tuning any additional
stations to be preset.
Recalling Preset Stations

that correspond to the desired station’s
memory location.
