Receiving Broadcasts
Notes

Before receiving broadcasts, make sure you have connected FM and AM antennas to the receiver (see page 7).

Storing FM stations automatically (AUTOBETICAL)
(Models of area code CEL only)

� Do not press any button on the receiver or supplied remote during autobetical operation. � If you move to another area, repeat this procedure to store stations in your new area. � For details on tuning the stored stations, see page 40. � The FM MODE setting is also stored along with the station. � 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.

This function lets you store up to 30 FM and FM RDS stations in alphabetical order without redundancy. Additionally, it only stores the stations with the clearest signals. If you want to store FM or AM stations one by one, see �Presetting radio stations� on page 40.

You can enter a frequency of the station you want directly by using the numeric buttons on the supplied remote. For details on the buttons used in this section, see the operating instructions for the supplied remote.

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 41. Regular FM stations are assigned 2-character preset codes and stored after the RDS station.
