AUTO-STORE (AS) / PRE-SET SCAN (PS) TUNING
bp
FM STEREO INDICATION
Press this button momentarily to scan the 6 stations in the pre-set
memories of each FM band in sequence (or the AM band if in use).
The unit will stop at each pre-set station for 5 seconds before continu-
ing to the next pre-set station. (The preset number will flash during
Pre-Set Scan operation.) Press the button again momentarily to stop
Pre-Set Scan operation and remain on the selected frequency.
Pressing the button for longer than 2 seconds will activate the Auto-
Store Tuning feature. If the radio is in the LOCAL mode, it will auto-
matically scan each band in sequence and enter strong stations into
the pre-set local memory positions for each band. If you have already
set the pre-set memories of that band to your favorite stations, activat-
ing the Auto-Store Tuning feature will erase those stations and enter
the new strong stations. If the radio is in the distant (Dx) mode, weaker,
more distant stations will be preset into each band. This feature is most
useful when traveling in a new area where you are not familiar with the
local stations.
During FM radio operation, under normal reception conditions, the
unit receives in the stereo mode, as indicated by ST on the display
panel when listening to an FM stereo signal. If the signal is not broad-
cast in stereo or too weak for comfortable listening, or if AM (monau-
ral) reception is selected, ST will disappear from the display panel,
indicating stereo reception in no longer in effect. To return to the ste-
reo reception mode, select a reasonably strong FM stereo station so
that the ST indication returns.
bq
LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY PANEL
The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel displays the frequency, time,
and activated functions.
NOTE: It is a characteristic of LCD panels that, if subjected to cold
temperatures for an extended period of time, they may take
longer to illuminate than under normal conditions. In addi-
tion, the visibility of the numbers on the LCD may slightly de-
crease. The LCD readout will return to normal when the tem-
perature increases to a normal range.

levels can still be changed to accommodate the listener ear. When
the EQ function is not active, the unit returns to the user-set bass and
treble levels. The FLAT selection indicates no equalizer enhance-
ment of the program, thereby removing the preset sound effects, un-
less otherwise desired, while DSP OFF inhibits selection of equalizer
mode enhancement.
