AUTO-TUNE (remote)
To auto search stations, press the AUTO TUNE
button. The tuner will search upwards through the FM
band and pick out the next station for you.
SEARCH
This button functions in a similar manner to AUTO
TUNE, however if pressed and held for more than a
second, the tuner will scan back down the band to the
previous station (the scan-down function is not
available on the remote).
BAND
This button alternates the tuner between receiving FM
and DAB stations
TUNE UP/DOWN
To manually tune to a station, press the TUNE ↑ or ↓
buttons to cycle through the FM band. Turning slowly
gives fine-tuning steps (50kHz).
When the required station frequency is displayed, the
station should be heard, and after a few seconds radio
text information is displayed, if available.
See the section on the PRESET buttons to store
favourite stations for easy recall

PRESET UP/DOWN buttons are used to select one of
ten FM preset memory locations. Press select when the
desired preset is displayed.
STORE (remote control)
It is possible to store favourite stations in preset
memory locations using the STORE button as follows:
Tune to the station required:
Press PRESET UP/DOWN buttons until the desired
preset is displayed.
Press and hold STORE to accept this preset. The
display will indicate the preset has saved
and then revert to selected station.
Note: this will overwrite any station stored previously
on this preset.
Briefly pressing the button will display current preset
without storing. There are 10 presets available for
programmes on the FM band (in addition to the 10
provided for DAB). Presets are remembered even if the
unit is switched off.
MONO/STEREO (remote control)
This button enforces mono reception when inadequate

automatically switches according to signal strength.
