Auto Memory (A MEM)

The automatic memory function
programmes the nine strongest
stations on a selected waveband
to presets 1 to 9.

Note: These are additional to the preset
stations described earlier.

number 1, leaving the remainder not
programmed. The display will show
NO FM or NO AM as appropriate.

To switch between the A MEM preset
stations and your own presets, press and
immediately release the A MEM button.

Satellite Radio (SDARS)

Satellite Radio (SDARS)

SATELLITE RADIO SERVICE

Satellite radio is a direct broadcast radio
service, which provides digitally encoded
audio signals. The signals can be received
directly by a suitable receiver or relayed to
a receiver via a repeater station, when the
receiver is shielded from the satellites
signal (e.g. when driving under large road
intersections or when surrounded by
many tall buildings).

As a digital signal is used, the system is
able to provide audio output of radio
broadcasts, with the sound quality and
clarity of CD playback.

Note: As the signals are encoded, a
subscription to the Broadcast operator
(SIRIUS) is required to receive Satellite
radio broadcasts.
