Whilst in the ASPM operation mode, the tuner will automatically search for new RDS
stations. Up to 40 stations can be stored.
If you have already stored some stations in memory, the number of new stations you
can store will be less.

1. After “ASPM” has flashed for about 4 seconds, scanning will start (87.50 - 108.00

MHz).

2. When an RDS station is found, “RDS” will appear for a short time and the sta-

tion will be stored in memory.

3. After scanning, the number of stations stored in memory will be displayed for 4

seconds, and then “END” will appear for 4 seconds.

Press the ASPM button whilst it is scanning for stations.
The stations which are already stored in memory will be kept there.

●

If the same station is broadcasting on different frequencies, the strongest frequency
will be stored in memory.

●

Any station which has the same frequency as the one stored in memory will not be
stored.

●

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

1. Press the TUNER (BAND) button.
2. Press the ENTER button.
3. Press the CLEAR button on the remote control.
4. Press the ENTER button.

It may be impossible to store station names in memory using the ASPM function if
there is lots of noise or if the signal is too weak.
In this case, perform as follows.

1. Press the PRESET (

X

 or 

W

) button to check whether the names are correct.

2. If you find a wrong name, receive the station. Wait until the correct name will be

displayed. And then press the ENTER button.

3. Within 5 seconds, press the ENTER button again whilst the preset channel number

is flashing.

be different.
