 music center can store up to 25 AM and 25 FM stations.

To allow for different station preferences, you can reserve a group of preset numbers

for each household member. Any station can be assigned to more than one preset number.
Or, you can reserve different number groups for different types of stations. For easy refer-
ence, you may want to keep a written record of your presets.

1. Lift the music center door.

2. Select a radio station you want to store as a preset, either by tuning manually or by

pressing and holding a SKIP key.

3. Press the STORE key. The lowest available preset number flashes for three seconds,

then is set and displayed.

4. If you prefer a different preset number, while the number is flashing press either SKIP

key to select another available preset number. The preset number is displayed.

You cannot store a station in an already-occupied preset location without erasing

that preset station first (see “Erasing a preset station” below). If you attempt to store more
than 25 AM or 25 FM stations, the preset display flashes “– –”.

Once you have set station presets, press SKIP 

 or 

 to select the next or the previous

preset station. See Figure 27 for a sample display of a preset FM station.
