FINDING AND STORING AM & FM STATIONS
USING AUTOTUNE.
You can use the SEARCH mode to automatically
look for stations, and then use the STORE mode to
enter them into the NAD 414RDS memory.
First select the AM or FM band using the AM or FM
button. If you want to search for the main stations
available in your area, then the NAD 414RDS will
search only for strong signals (three or more bars on
the Signal Strength Display) and all weak stations will
be muted and passed over. If you want to include all
signals in the search, no matter how weak, switch the
FM Muting off by pressing the FM MUTE button. FM
Mute On/Off is shown in the Display Panel.
Now press AUTOTUNE and turn the TUNE/PRE-
SET knob clockwise to search up the frequency band
or anti-clockwise to search down the frequency band.
When the tuner finds a broadcast signal of ade-
quate strength (shown by at least three bars of the
tuning strength meter and the >TUNE< indicator illu-
minating) then the automatic search stops at that sta-
tion. If the station is transmitting RDS information, the
RDS indicator will light up and station initials and fre-
quency will be shown in the Display Panel. If a non-
RDS station is found, then just the frequency will be
shown.
To store that station as a Preset, press MEMORY.
The Memory indicator will be displayed and the
Preset section will flash in the Display Panel.
Press BANK to select which of the three Banks of
Presets you want to store the station into. Turn the
TUNE/PRESET knob to select which Preset number
you wish to assign to the station (shown as a flashing
number in the Display Panel) and then press MEMO-
RY again. The Memory light in the Display Panel will
go out and the station is now stored in your NAD
414RDS memory.
You can enter a new station into an unused Preset
or over-write an existing programmed Memory
Preset. By doing this you will replace all the data pre-
viously held on that Preset number.
To exit the Memory mode without storing a station,
leave all the controls untouched; the Memory mode
will automatically cancel itself after 8 seconds. The
Memory Presets are held in non-volatile memory, so
they will remain stored, even if the Tuner is switched
off or unplugged from the mains supply.
SELECTING A PRESET STATION.
To select a Memory Preset station, press the PRE-
SET Button and then select which Bank of Presets
you want to use by pressing the BANK button. Turn
the TUNE/PRESET knob until the right Preset is
found and shown in the Display Panel. Any unused
Presets will be skipped and it is not possible to select
a Bank unless it has at least one Preset stored into it.
If you want to automatically search the whole bank
for a suitable programme, press SCAN. The NAD
414RDS will then scan through all the Preset stations
in the current Bank, playing each for 6 seconds.
When a suitable programme is heard, press SCAN
again to cancel the scanning mode.
