STORING, RECALLING AND LABELLING PRESETS
Up to 30 presets in total can be stored in the C 422's memory bank;
these can be any mix of either AM or FM stations. When scrolling
through the presets, empty preset places will be skipped; it is thus
possible to go from preset No. 4 to No. 7 without having seen No. 5 and
6. With the presets you can also store whether you want Blend (No. 3)
and FM Mute/Mode (No. 5) to be activated as well every time you recall
the preset.
To Store a Preset
• Tune to the radio station you wish to enter into a Preset (refer to
this chapter's section 10). If the station is transmitting RDS
information, the RDS indicator will light up and station initials or
name will be shown in the Display Panel. If a non-RDS station is
found, then just the frequency will be shown.
• Select Blend (No. 3) or FM Mute/Mode (No. 5) if desired.
• To store that station as a Preset, press Memory (No. 4). The Preset
number and the red "MEMORY" indicator are flashing in the
Display Panel. The lowest available empty preset number will be
shown. If no other buttons are pressed within 12 seconds, the
tuner will revert to its previous state.
• Press Memory again to store the preset. If you wish to assign a
different preset number, rotate the Preset/Tune control left or
right to select the desired preset number. You can overwrite an
existing preset. If the preset number already has been assigned,
"MEMORY" will stop blinking, but the preset will continue to
blink. When you have selected the desired preset number, press
Memory again to store the station.
NOTE
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 previously held on that Preset number. When Memory is
pressed during normal operation, the Preset number and the red
"MEMORY" indicator will flash in the Display Panel. If no other
buttons are pressed within 12 seconds, the tuner will revert to its
previous state. The Memory Presets have a memory back-up, so they
will remain stored for several weeks even if the Tuner is switched off
or unplugged from the mains supply.
RECALLING A PRESET
• To select a Preset station, the C 422 must be in the Preset mode
(the display indicates "PRESET"). If not, press the Preset/Tune
Mode button (No. 8); "PRESET" will now light up in the display.
• Rotate the Tune/Preset control (No. 10) in either direction until the
right Preset is found and shown in the Display Panel. Any unused
Presets will be skipped; this avoids having to scroll through empty
presets.

DELETING A STORED PRESET
You can empty a Preset by deleting the stored information:
• Select the Preset to be emptied.
• Press and hold the Memory button (No. 4) and Display button
(No.7) for two seconds. The preset number and the text
"DELETE" will flash in the display.
• Press only the display button again (within default time of 5
seconds) to confirm you want to delete this preset. The text
"DELETED" and "—" as the Preset number appear in the display
for a couple of seconds.
LABELLING A PRESET
When a station is transmitting RDS information, your NAD C 422 will
automatically show the station initials when its Preset is used. Although
the Tuner automatically shows the frequency of any other AM or non-
RDS Preset station, it also allows you to type in the station name to make
it easier to identify which station is stored in the Memory Preset.
To enter a name:
1 Select the Preset you want to attach a name to.
2 Press and hold the Display button (No. 7) for two seconds. The first
space in the Station Data area of the Display Panel will flash.
3 Rotate the Tune / Preset control (No. 10) in either direction to scroll
and select the first character (see Character list below for reference).
4 Press Display to move one place to the right to enter the next desired
character.
5 Rotate the Tune/Preset control again to select the next character in
the name and press Memory to store it.
6 Repeat steps 3 to 5 until name is complete or all eight places have
been filled (up to 8 characters).
7 Press Memory once to finish the labelling procedure. Press Memory
again to store the completed name.
There are 37 characters available including a blank space.
