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 (This function is for models of area code CED only). If you want to store FM or AM stations one by one, see "Presetting radio stations" on page 46. For details on the buttons used in this section, see "Brief descriptions of buttons used to receive broadcasts" on this page. 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 47. 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 46. • 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. 44
