This function lets you store up to 30 FM and FM
RDS stations in alphabetical order without

turn the receiver back on.
“AUTO-BETICAL SELECT” appears in
the display and the receiver scans and stores
all the FM and FM RDS stations in the
broadcast area.
For RDS stations, the tuner first checks for
stations broadcasting the same program,
then stores only the one with the clearest
signal. The selected RDS stations are sorted
alphabetically by their Program Service
name, then assigned a 2-character preset
code. For more details on RDS, see
page 24.
Regular FM stations are assigned 2-
character preset codes and stored after the
RDS station.
When done, “FINISH” appears in the
display momentarily and the receiver
returns to the normal operation.

remote during autobetical operation, except ?/1.
