“Autobetical” appears in the display and the
receiver scans and stores all the FM and FM
RDS stations in the broadcast area.
For RDS stations, the tuner first checks for
stations broadcasting the same program,
then stores only the one with the clearest
signal. The selected RDS stations are sorted
alphabetically by their Program Service
name, then assigned a 2-character preset
code. For more details on RDS, see
page 28.
Regular FM stations are assigned 2-
character preset codes and stored after the
RDS station.
When done, “Finished” appears in the
display momentarily and the receiver
returns to the normal operation.
Notes
• Do not press any button on the receiver or supplied
remote during autobetical operation, except ?/1.
• If you move to another area, repeat this procedure to
store stations in your new area.
• For details on tuning the stored stations, see “Tuning
to preset stations”.
• If you move the antenna after storing stations with
this procedure, the stored settings may no longer be
valid. If this happens, repeat this procedure to store
the stations again.
