Radio
The unit can store up to 6 stations per band
(FM1, FM2, FM3, AM1, and AM2).
Caution
When tuning in stations while driving, use Best
Tuning Memory to prevent accidents.
Storing stations
automatically
— Best Tuning Memory (BTM)
The unit selects the stations with the strongest
signals within the selected band, and stores them
in the order of their frequency.
(With the card remote commander)
1
Press (SOURCE) repeatedly to select
the radio.
2
Press (MODE) repeatedly to select the
band.

Press (MENU), then press (DISC) (+)
or (DISC) (–) repeatedly until “BTM”
appears.
4
Press (ENTER).
A beep sounds when the setting is stored.
Notes
• If only a few stations can be received due to weak
signals, some number buttons will retain their former
settings.
• When a number is indicated in the display, the unit
starts storing stations from the one currently
displayed.
Receiving the stored stations
(With the card remote commander)
1
Press (SOURCE) repeatedly to select
the radio.
2
Press (MODE) repeatedly to select the
band.
3
Press the number button ((1) to (6))
on which the desired station is stored.
Tip
Press (DISC) (+) or (DISC) (–) to receive the stations
in the order they are stored in the memory (Preset
Search function).
If preset tuning does not work
Press (SEEK) (+) or (SEEK) (–) to
search for the station (automatic
tuning).
Scanning stops when the unit receives a
station. Repeat until the desired station is
received.
Tips
• If automatic tuning stops too frequently, turn on the
Local Seek to limit seek to stations with stronger
signals (see “Changing the sound and display
settings” on page 18).
• If you know the frequency of the station you want to
listen to, press and hold (SEEK) (+) or (SEEK) (–) to
locate the approximate frequency, then press
(SEEK) (+) or (SEEK) (–) repeatedly to fine adjust to
the desired frequency (manual tuning).
If FM stereo reception is poor
Select monaural reception mode
(see “Changing the sound and display
settings” on page 18).
The sound improves, but becomes monaural
(“ST” disappears).
Note
If interference occurs, this unit will automatically
narrow the reception frequency to eliminate noise (IF
AUTO function). In such cases, some FM stereo
broadcasts may become monaural while in the stereo
reception mode.
Tips
• To always hear FM stereo broadcasts in stereo, you
can change the IF AUTO setting and widen the
frequency signal reception (see “Changing the
sound and display settings” on page 18). Note that
some interference may occur in this setting.
• If FM broadcasts are difficult to hear, set DSO to
OFF (page 20).
