ASPM (Auto Station Program Memory)
It is recommended that you store stations in memory using
ASPM. (This memory can be used for PTY searches, sta-
tion select and EON switching.)
When the ASPM button is pressed whilst tuned to the FM
band, the RDS (Radio Data System) function will automati-
cally search for new RDS stations. Up to 40 stations can be
stored in memory. (If you have already stored some stations
in memory, the number of new stations you can store will be
less.)
1
Press the ON/STAND-BY button to turn the power
on.
2
Press the TUNER (BAND) button.
3
Press the TUNER (BAND) button to select the FM ST
or FM band.
4
Press and hold down the ASPM button for at least 3
seconds.
Notes:
Only RDS stations will be stored in memory in numerical
order.
If the same station is broadcasting on different frequen-
cies, the transmission with the strongest broadcast fre-
quency will be stored in memory.
Any station which has the same frequency as one which
has been already stored in memory will not be stored
again.
The ASPM operation can be repeated until "END"
appears.
If a 40th station is stored in memory during a scan, the
scanning will stop at that station. The number of stations
and "END" will each be displayed for 4 seconds.
If no stations have been stored in memory, "END" will
appear for about 4 seconds.
If 40 stations have already been stored in memory and
the ASPM button is pressed, "END" will appear immedi-
ately and the scan will be aborted. If you want to redo the
ASPM operation from the beginning, erase the preset
memory, and then perform steps 1 - 4.
If the RDS station broadcast signals are very weak, sta-
tion names may not be stored in memory.
To stop the ASPM operation before it is complete:
Press the ASPM button whilst it is scanning for stations.
The stations that have already been stored in memory
will be kept there.
To erase all the contents in the preset memory:
1
Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the stand-by
mode.
2
Press the ON/STAND-BY button whilst holding down the
TUNER (BAND) button and the X-BASS/DEMO button.
"TUNER CL" will appear.
After performing this operation, all of the preset memory
information will be erased.
(Main unit operation)
After "ASPM" has flashed for about 4 seconds, scanning
will start (87.50 - 108.00 MHz).
When an RDS station is found, the RDS will appear for
a short time and the station will be stored in memory.

After scanning, the number of stations that have been
automatically stored in memory will be displayed for 4
seconds, and then "END" will appear for 4 seconds.
