The RT-06 can store up to 30 station presets
for recall at any time using the NUMERIC
keypad. These station presets can be used
of any combination of AM stations as well
as 99 station presets for DAB.
The RT-06 is delivered from the factory with
a set of generic station preset that may or

To memorize a new station preset:
1. Tune to the desired station, AM or FM.
2. Press the MEMORY button on the front
panel. A MEMORY indicator will flash in
the front panel display.
3. While the MEMORY indicator is flashing,
press the number of the preset where you
wish to store the station frequency. For ex-
ample, to memorize the station as preset
3, press the 3 button. To memorize preset
15, press the 1 button followed by the 5
button.
4. A previously stored frequency is erased
from memory when a new frequency is
memorized for the same preset number.
To tune to a previously memorized station
preset, press the preset number using the
NUMERIC buttons. For example, to tune to
preset 3, press the 3 button. To tune to preset
30, press the 3 button and then press the 0
button within 5 seconds.
NOTE
: The NUMERIC buttons can also be
used for FREQUENCY DIRECT tuning with
the AM/FM band.
FREQUENCY DIRECT
Button:
Direct Access Tuning
If you know the exact frequency of the de-
sired station, you may tune it directly using
the FREQUENCY DIRECT button and the
NUMERIC buttons.
1. Press the FREQUENCY DIRECT button to
change the NUMERIC buttons from station
preset to direct access mode. The station
frequency in the front panel display will
change to a series of bars, representing
the digits of a station frequency, with the
first bar blinking.
2. Enter the first digit of the station frequency
using the NUMERIC buttons. The digit will
appear in the frequency display and the
next bar will flash. Enter the remaining
digits of the frequency. When all of the
digits have been entered, the tuner will
automatically tune to the displayed station
frequency.
NOTE
: On the USA version only, pressing 1 in
the FM mode will enter 10 as the digit in the
frequency display. On the European version,
it is necessary to press 1 and then 0 to enter
10. For US FM station, press only one digit
following the decimal point as shown in the
first example below. For European FM sta-
tions, press two digits after the decimal point
as shown in the second example.
EXAMPLES:
• (USA FM) 87.50MHz Press 8>7>5
• (Europe FM) 87.50Mhz Press 8>7>5>0
• (USA AM) 1610kHz Press 1>6>1
• Europe AM) 1611kHz Press 1>6>1>1
If no frequency is entered within 5 seconds,
the tuner will cancel FREQUENCY DIRECT
tuning mode and revert to the last previously
tuned station.
AUTO TUNING Button
The AUTO TUNING button toggles between
the frequency search tuning feature and
manual frequency tuning. When using the
TUNING controls on the front panel or re-
mote in AUTO TUNING mode, the tuner will
begin automatically scanning up or down
through the frequencies until the next receiv-
able broadcast signal is detected. If this is
not the desired station, use the TUNING
controls again to find the next station. Weak
stations will be skipped during auto tuning.
If no receivable signal is detected, the tuner
will revert to the previously tuned station. To
toggle between FREQUENCY TUNING mode
and AUTO TUNING mode, press the AUTO
TUNING button. An AUTO indicator will ap-
pear in the display.
NOTE
: AUTO TUNING mode is disengaged
when the TUNE/PRESET button is set to
PRESET tuning mode. See the following
section.
TUNE/PRESET Button
The TUNE/PRESET button toggles between
FREQUENCY TUNING mode (the TUNING
controls advance to the next station frequency)
and PRESET TUNING mode (the TUNING con-
trols advance to the next memorized station
preset.) To toggle between the two modes,
press the TUNE/PRESET button. A PRESET
indicator in the front panel DISPLAY will light
when the PRESET mode is active.
NOTE
: AUTO TUNING mode is disengaged
when the TUNE/PRESET button is set to PRE-
SET tuning mode.
PRESET SCAN Button
This button activates a preset scanning fea-
ture. When you press the button, the tuner
will automatically scan through all memorized
station preset, playing each for five seconds
before moving to the next. To stop the station
scanning on the desired station preset, press
the button again.
NOTE
: If a preset station is currently tuned
when the PRESET SCAN button is pressed,
scanning will start with the next higher pre-
set number and continue through all preset
stations, stopping on the initial preset. If a
PRESET station is not currently tuned when
the button is pressed, scanning will start from
PRESET 1 and continue to PRESET 30.
FM MONO
The FM MONO button changes the FM
mode from stereo reception to mono recep-
tion. In stereo mode, a stereo signal will be
heard if the station is broadcasting a stereo
signal and there is sufficient signal strength.
A stereo indicator will light in the front panel
display. In mono mode, a mono signal will
be heard even if the station is broadcasting
a stereo signal.
NOTE
: Switching to mono mode can be a
useful way to improve the reception of weak
or distant FM signals. Less signal strength is
required for clean mono reception than for
stereo reception.
