Lights up when receiving an FM broadcast in stereo.

Storing stations in memory

You can use one of the following two methods to store broadcasting stations in memory.

• Automatic preset of FM stations: SSM (Strongstation Sequential Memory)

• Manual preset of both FM and AM stations

FM station automatic preset: SSM

Y ou can preset 6 local FM stations in each FM band (FM1, FM2 and FM3).

Select the FM band (FM1 – 3) you want to store FM stations into.

Each time you press the button, the band changes as follows:

FM1 FM2 FM3 AM

(F1) (F2) (F3)

Press and hold both buttons for more than 2 seconds.

“SSM” appears, then disappears when automatic preset is over.

When the MO indicator is lit on the display, the sound you hear becomes monaural but the reception will be improved (the ST indicator goes off).

Local FM stations with the strongest signals are searched and stored automatically in the band number you have selected (FM1, FM2 or FM3). These stations are preset in the number buttons — No.1 (lowest frequency) to No .6 (highest frequency). When automatic preset is over, the station stored in number button 1 will be automatically tuned in.

Manual preset

Y ou can preset up to 6 stations in each band (FM1, FM2, FM3 and AM) manually.

Ex.: Storing an FM station of 88.3 MHz into the

preset number 1 of the FM1 band

Select the band (FM1 – 3, AM) you want to store stations into (in this example, FM1).

Each time you press the button, the band changes as follows:

FM1 FM2 FM3 AM

(F1) (F2) (F3)

Tune in to a station (in this example, of 88.3 MHz.)

Press ¢ to tune in to stations of higher frequencies.

Repeat the above procedure to store other stations into other preset numbers.

Notes:

• A previously preset station is er ased when a new station is stored in the same preset number.

• Preset stations are erased when the power supply to the memory circuit is interrupted (for example, during battery replacement). If this occurs, pr eset the stations again.

Tuning in to a preset station

You can easily tune in to a preset station. Remember that you must store stations first. If y ou have not stored them yet, see “Storing stations in memory” on pages 8 and 9.

Select the band (FM1 – 3, AM).

ENGLISH

Press 4 to tune in to stations of lower frequencies.

Press and hold the number button (in this example, 1) for more than 2 seconds.

We recommend that you use one of the CH-X series with your unit. If you have another CD automatic changer , consult your JVC car audio dealer for connections.

• For example, if your CD automatic changer is one of the KD-MK series, you need a cord (KS-U15K) for connecting it to this unit.

Before operating your CD automatic changer:

• Refer also to the Instructions supplied with your CD changer.

• If no discs are in the magazine of the CD changer or the discs are inserted upside down, “NO DISC” will appear on the display. If this happens, remove the magazine and set the discs correctly.
