[AS43770(MBC )05/96]
With Auto Memory Store, you can continually
set strong stations into your memory buttons
without losing your existing memory presets,
which is especially helpful while traveling. Your

have to continually manually tune to existing
stations.

ªAUTO PRESETº button once. Your radio will
set the first five strong stations of the band you
are in (AM, FM1 or FM2) into the memory
buttons. The display will show ªAUTO,º then
run through the frequencies, stopping
momentarily on the stations being set into the
memory buttons. The radio is now in the
ªAUTOº mode and the display will show
ªAUTOº each time a preset is activated.
*
[AS43790(MBC )10/95]
NOTE: If there are fewer than five strong
stations in the frequency band, the
remaining unfilled buttons will store
the last strong station detected on the
band.
*
[AS43800(MBC )03/96]
After all stations have been filled, the radio will
begin playing the station stored on memory
button 1.

To minimize these conditions, a stereo/mono
blend circuit has been incorporated into this
system. This feature automatically switches a
weak stereo signal to a clearer monaural signal,
which improves the quality of reception.
*
[AS62000( ALL)08/95]
Several sources of static are normal conditions
on AM frequencies. These can be caused by
power lines, electric fences, traffic lights and
thunderstorms.
*
[AS62100( ALL)08/95]
Another reception phenomenon isStrong Signal
Capture and Overload. This can occur when
listening to a weak station and when passing
another broadcast tower. The close station may
capture the more distant station, although the
displayed frequency does not change. While
passing the tower, the station may switch back
and forth a few times before returning to the
original station.
*
[AS62200( ALL)03/96]
When several broadcast towers are present
(common in metropolitan areas), several stations
may overload the receiver, resulting in
considerable station changing, mixing and
distortion.
*
[AS62300( ALL)08/95]
Automatic gain control circuitry for both AM
and FM bands has been incorporated into this
system to reduce strong signal capture and
overload.
