®

Classified

Memory

Preset

The

memory

presets

are

divided

into

six

classes,

A

through

F,

which

can

be

used

for

different

types

of

programs

(rock,

news,

classical,

etc.).

Or

each

member

of

the

family

can

have

a

separate

class

(class

A

for

Dad,

class

B

for

class

D

for

Junior).

Any

preset

can

be

assigned

to

any

class.

should

be

situated

so

that

its

location

or

position

does

not

interfere

with

proper

ventilation.

For

ex-

ample,

the

should

not

be

placed

on

a

bed,

sofa,

rug

of

similar

surface

that

could

block

the

ventilation

openings

or

placed

in

a

built-in

installation,

such

as

a

bookcase

or

cabinet,

that

could

impede

the

flow

of

air

through

the

ventilation

openings.

.

Heat

—

The
