Radio station presets &150; The numbered buttons along the bottom of the radio will remember your favorite stations, but
it&146;s easy to forget how they work. Here&146;s a quick reminder:
First, use the "Tune" or "Seek" button to find the station you&146;d like to store in the radio&146;s memory. Once you&146;re tuned to that station, push one of the numbered buttons and hold it. The station will momentarily go silent, and when the sound returns, the station is locked in memory. The selected radio station will now tune in every time you press that button.
By pressing the "FM" button a second time (which will display FM2 on the radio readout), you can assign six additional stations to the numbered buttons, giving you two stations for every preset button; six stations for FM1 and six stations for FM2.
Want to replace a memorized station with a new one? Just tune in the new station, press the button until the station goes silent for a moment and then returns, and the new station now replaces the previous one. It&146;s that easy.
The Auto button on the radio &150; If you&146;re traveling a long distance, and you&146;ve left your favorite radio stations miles behind you, pressing the AUTO button will search out the six strongest stations in the area you happen to be driving through. These stations will now be stored on your six preset buttons, but they won&146;t erase your home-town stations.
If you press the AUTO button a second time, the word AUTO Off will show on the radio readout for a moment, and the radio presets will then revert to your usual stations. (The Auto feature is included on the Premium AM/FM Stereo/Cassette/CD and MACH systems.)
The Comp button on the radio &150; If you have an audio system with the in-dash CD player, then you may have noticed a button called COMP, which is short for Compression.
Here&146;s what it does: while playing a CD, this button will take the particularly loud and soft portions of a song or composition and bring them closer together in volume. This way, extremely soft passages will be a bit louder so they&146;re easier to hear, and extremely loud passages will be
softer so they won&146;t startle or distract you while you&146;re driving.
Or, if you want the full musical effect, just press the button a second time and the compression feature will be turned off. (The Comp feature is included on the Premium AM/FM Stereo/Cassette/CD and MACH systems.)
Rear audio controls &150; Also known as the Personal Audio System, this intelligent little feature can help keep sibling skirmishes to a minimum. When the rear passengers are plugged into headphones, they can adjust their own volume, change radio stations and listen to CD&146;s or cassette tapes independently of the front passengers.
Now mom and dad can listen to the news on National Public Radio while the kids listen to a Rap CD on headphones. Luckily for parents of young children, the rear volume control can&146;t be set higher than the front volume control, and if you press the 3 and 5 buttons on the radio at the same time, it turns off the rear audio system altogether. Nice to have control, isn&146;t it? |
