Using the tuner
Listening to FM (For European
models)/Listening to FM or AM (For
North American models)
The following steps show you how to tune in to FM and AM
radio broadcasts using the automatic (search) and manual

can memorize the frequency for recall later. See Saving
station presets below for more on how to do this.

Saving station presets

If you often listen to a particular radio station, it's convenient
to have the receiver store the frequency for easy recall
whenever you want to listen to that station (Preset tuning).
This saves the effort of manually tuning in each time. This
unit can memorize up to 45 stations.
(FM 30 stations/AM 15 stations)
1 Tune to a station you want to memorize.
See Tuning above for more on this.
2 Press PGM/MEMORY.
The preset number will flash.
3 Press PRESET +/– to select the preset
channel number.
4 Press PGM/MEMORY to store that station
in memory.
If the preset number has changed from flashing to lighting,
before the station is memorised, repeat the operation from
step 2.
• Repeat steps 1 - 4 to set other stations, or to change a
preset station. When a new station is stored in the
memory, the station previously memorised for that
preset channel number will be erased.
