Before presetting

• You can preset up to 30 channels including both
FM and AM stations.

• If any radio stations are preset in the channels
before you start auto presetting, all the preset
channels will be replaced.

Note

Auto presetting may store noise instead of a station with a
clear signal to some preset channels, depending on where
you live. In such cases, erase the preset manually (see
page 50).

If auto presetting is unsuccessful

Check the antenna (aerial) connection and position (see
page 6).

If you have a power failure or disconnect the AC
power cord (mains lead)

Memory will normally be preserved for two days after the
power supply has stopped. If the data in memory has been
erased, repeat auto presetting.

Customizing the preset channels

The following additional functions are available:

• Naming the preset channels (see page 37)

• Erasing the preset channels (see page 50)

• Copying the radio station in the selected channel to
another (see page 51).
