Using the tuner

Listening to the radio broadcasts

The following steps show you how to tune in to FM radio
broadcasts using the automatic (search) and manual (step)
tuning functions. Once you are tuned to a station you can
memorize the frequency for recall later. See Saving station
presets below for more on how to do this.

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

• If 40 stations have already been stored in memory, the
scan will be aborted. If you want to redo the ASPM
operation, erase the preset memory.

• If no station have been stored in memory, “NO FOUND”

• If the RDS signals are very weak, station names may not
be stored in memory.

• The same station name can be stored in different
channels.

• In a certain area or during certain time periods, the
station names may temporarily be different.

Notes for RDS operation

If any of the following events occur, it does
not mean that the unit is faulty:

• “PS”, “No PS” and a station name appear alternately,
and properly.

• If a particular station is not broadcasting properly or a
station is conducting tests, the RDS reception function
may not work properly.

• When you receive an RDS station whose signal is too
weak, information like the station name may not be
displayed.

• “No PS”, “No PYT” or “No RT” will flash for about 5
seconds, and then the frequency will be displayed.

Notes for radio text:

• The first 8 characters of the radio text will appear and
then they will scroll across the display.

• If you tune in to an RDS station which is not
broadcasting any radio text, “No RT” will be displayed
when you switch to the radio text position.

• Whilst radio text data is received or when the text
contents change, “RT” will be displayed.
