Yamaha RX-497 User Manual

You can use the automatic preset tuning method to 
automatically store FM stations. This function enables this 
unit to automatically tune into FM stations with strong 
signals and store up to 40 (8 stations in each of the 5 
groups, A1 to E8) of those received stations in order. You 
can then easily recall any preset stations by selecting the 
preset station numbers where they are stored.

• Any station data stored under a preset station number is cleared 

when you store a new station under that preset station number.

• If the number of received stations does not reach 40 (E8), 

automatic preset tuning automatically stops once searching all 
available stations are tuned into and stored.

• Only FM stations with sufficient signal strength are stored 

automatically by automatic preset tuning. If the station you 
want to store is weak in signal strength, try using the manual 
preset tuning method.

Press FM/AM on the front panel to select FM 
as the reception band.
FM appears in the front panel display.

Press and hold MEMORY on the front panel 
for more than 3 seconds.
The preset station group and the MEMORY and 
AUTO indicators flash in the front panel display.

Press TUNING/CH l / h once to begin 
automatic preset tuning.
Press h to tune into higher frequencies.
Press l to tune into lower frequencies.
When automatic preset tuning is complete, the 
frequency of the last preset station is shown in the 
front panel display.

• If TUNING/CH l / h is not pressed within approximately 5 

seconds while the MEMORY and AUTO indicators are 
flashing, automatic preset tuning automatically begins from the 
currently displayed frequency and proceeds toward higher 
frequencies.

• Received stations are sequentially programmed to 8 stations in 

each preset station group. If 8 stations are all programmed in a 
preset station group, another 8 stations are sequentially 
programmed in the next preset station group.
