Preset – automatic preset storing (AUTOSTORE)
If you select automatic preset storing, the tuner automati-
cally searches the whole VHF band twice (using different
search thresholds) for stations which can be received
well in STEREO mode, and automatically stores the
stations it finds.
This process can take some time, as the tuner attempts
to receive the complete RDS station name for each
station it finds, so that the name can be stored in the
preset.
If the AUTOSTORE function does not pick up the RDS
station name, but at a later date the tuner is able to
receive it when you are tuned to that preset, then the
station name appears on the screen and is automatically
stored with the preset.
To use the AUTOSTORE function press the remote
control buttons in the sequence shown above.
As with the manual preset storing procedure you can use
the
and
buttons or the numeric buttons to select a
preset number as the starting point, i.e. the stations the
system locates will be stored after that number.
If you want to store the station information starting at the
beginning, then you should select the number 01.
If none of the menu control buttons (
) are pressed for a period of about ten seconds,
the unit interrupts the special functions menu and reverts
to the standard display. (time-out).
erasing a preset
Preset –
Presets which contain stations of such low quality that
they are not worth listening to, or which contain a dupli-
cate station on a different frequency, should simply be
erased.
Under certain circumstances, e.g. after a house-move,
you may find it necessary to erase all the pre-sets. In this
case please read in the 'Trouble Shooting' Chapter.
To erase individual Presets the remote control buttons
should be pressed briefly in the sequence described
above. The screen displays a '
flashing number and the function name '
P28 CLEAR
P28 CLEAR
'
P28 CLEAR
P28 CLEAR
The flashing number is the Preset number to be erased.
This can be changed using the
alternatively you can enter the number directly using the
numeric buttons.

and
buttons;
Pressing the
button now activates the AUTO-
STORE function, and the frequency display starts to rise
incrementally.
The tuner is not capable of assessing the quality of each
individual station, so it provides the user with a means of
editing the presets manually.
The same facility is useful if you find that stations have
been stored whose RDS station name was not recog-
nised in full by the AUTOSTORE function, or that a sta-
tion failed to broadcast its RDS name in accordance with
the RDS norms.
To edit the presets you call up each one in turn and
attempt to optimise reception quality by changing the
reception mode (MONO / STEREO / NARROW / WIDE /
ATTENUATOR); finally you store the preset again
manually (see 'Manual storing of presets').
Presets which contain stations of such low quality that
they are not worth listening to, or which contain a dupli-
cate station on a different frequency, should simply be
erased (see 'Erasing a Preset').
If you repeat the AUTOSTORE process, the machine will
not store the same stations twice, i. e. frequencies
already stored will not be stored again.
If none of the menu control buttons (
) are pressed for a period of about ten seconds,
the unit interrupts the special functions menu and reverts
to the standard display. (time-out).
Pressing the
button erases the preset and termi-
nates the special functions menu.
Note:
If you attempt to store an invalid preset number (xx), the
machine responds with an error message on the screen:
'
Pxx ERROR
Pxx

'; the tuner then terminates the special
functions menu.
