FM/AM TUNING

You can use the automatic preset tuning method to 

automatically store FM stations. This function enables this 

unit to automatically tune into FM stations with strong 

signals and store up to 40 (8 stations in each of the 5 

groups, A1 to E8) of those received stations in order. You 

can then easily recall any preset stations by selecting the 

preset station numbers where they are stored.

• Any station data stored under a preset station number is cleared 

when you store a new station under that preset station number.

• If the number of received stations does not reach 40 (E8), 

automatic preset tuning automatically stops once searching all 

available stations are tuned into and stored.

• Only FM stations with sufficient signal strength are stored 

automatically by automatic preset tuning. If the station you 

want to store is weak in signal strength, try using the manual 

preset tuning method.
