Storing FM Stations
Automatically
(AUTOBETICAL)
This function lets you store up to 30 FM and FM RDS
stations in alphabetical order without redundancy.
Additionally, it only stores the stations with the clearest
signals.
If you want to store FM or AM stations one by one, see
“Presetting radio stations” on page 40.
For details on the buttons used in this section, see “Brief
descriptions of buttons used to receive broadcasts” on
page 38.
1
Press
?
/
1
to turn off the receiver.
2
Hold down MEMORY and press
?
/
1
to turn the
receiver back on.
“Autobetical 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 two character preset code. For
more details on RDS see page 41.
Regular FM stations are assigned two character preset
codes and stored after the RDS station.
When done, “Autobetical finish” appears in the
display momentarily and the receiver returns to
normal operation.
Notes
• Do not press any of the buttons on the receiver or supplied
remote during autobetical operation.
• If you move to another area, repeat this procedure to store
stations in your new area.
• For details on tuning the stored stations, see page 40.
• The FM MODE setting is also stored along with the station.
• If you move the antenna after storing stations with this
procedure, the stored settings may no longer be valid. If this
happens, repeat this procedure to store the stations again.
