Using the Auto Station Program
Memory (ASPM)

After “ASPM” has flashed for about 4 seconds, scanning will

be displayed for 4 seconds, and then “END” will appear for 4

seconds.

To stop the ASPM operation before it is
complete:

Press  while it is scanning for stations. The stations which

are already stored in memory will be kept there.

Note

• If the same station is broadcasting on different

frequencies, the strongest frequency will be stored in

memory.

• Any station which has the same frequency as the one

stored in memory will not be stored.

• If 30 stations have already been stored in memory, the

scan will be aborted. If you want to redo the ASPM

operation, erase the preset memory.

• If no station have been stored in memory, “END” will

appear for about 4 seconds.

• If the RDS signals are very weak, station names may not

be stored in memory.

• The same station name can be stored in different

channels.

• In a certain area or during certain time periods, the

station names may temporarily be different.

Notes for RDS operation

If any of the following events occur, it does
not mean that the unit is faulty:

• “PS”, “No PS” and a station name appear alternately,

and properly.

• If a particular station is not broadcasting properly or a

station is conducting tests, the RDS reception function

may not work properly.

• When you receive an RDS station whose signal is too

weak, information like the station name may not be

displayed.

• “No PS”, “No PTY” or “No RT” will flash for about 5

seconds, and then the frequency will be displayed.

Notes for radio text:

• The first 8 characters of the radio text will appear and

then they will scroll across the display.

• If you tune in to an RDS station which is not

broadcasting any radio text, “No RT” will be displayed

when you switch to the radio text position.

• While radio text data is received or when the text

contents change, “RT” will be displayed.
