Storing the strongest broadcast
frequencies
BSM (best stations memory) lets you automa-
tically store the six strongest broadcast fre-
quencies under the preset tuning keys “Preset
1” to “Preset 6” and, once stored there, you
can tune in to these frequencies with the
touch of a key.
1 Touch
on the “Tuner” screen.
2 Touch [BSM].
3 Touch [Start] to begin a search.
“BSM” begins to flash. While “BSM” is flash-
ing, the six strongest broadcast frequencies
will be stored under the preset tuning keys
“Preset 1” to “Preset 6” in order of their signal
strength. When this is complete, “BSM ” stops
flashing.
p To cancel the storage process, touch
[Stop].
p Storing broadcast frequencies with BSM
may replace broadcast frequencies you
have already saved.

tion of only the strongest stations, while
lower settings let you receive weaker sta-
tions.

poor, the tuner automatically switches to the
analog broadcast of the same frequency level
by default. If you want to prevent a frequent
automatic switching, switch this setting to
[Analog].
