Tuning to a station via the presets
There are 16 presets available for the AM
band and 32 presets for the FM band. The
32 FM presets are distributed among 2 FM
modes (
FM1 and FM2).
You can use the FM modes to tune to
separate set of stations for different regions.
For information on switching the mode,
please refer to the section “Switching mode/
band” on page 43.
If you tune via the presets to a no longer
receivable sub channel of a FM HD Radio
TM
station, the system mutes playback and
shows the message
Acquiring HD Signal
in the upper statusline in place of station
name.
After a certain time without receiving the sub
channel, the upper statusline shows the
message
No HD signal. After a certain
time, the system will tune to the analog
signal of the corresponding frequency.
