I'm not familiar with this particular stereo but typically radio presets are programmed by manually seeking out your favorite channel. Once you' be tuned in, press and hold the button (usually numbered 1-5 or 1-6 for preset programming) hold the button until you hear a beep or the display flashes briefly. If this is a newer touch screen style radio, these instructions may be antiquated and most likely insulting :)

Hi,
Owner's Manual is PN 3834RH0020U
On pg13
1. Press TUNER/BAND to select AM or FM
(Leftmost rectangular button on left of volume knob)
2. Select station by using TUNING +/-
3. Press PROGRAM/MEMO on the remote
A preset number will appear.
4. Press PRESET +/- (or PRESET ^/v on remote) to
select the preset number you want.
5. Press PROGRAM/MEMO again. The statio is stored.
6. Repeat above for more stations.

Believe you can store up to 30 stations.

The solution is really very simple.

This unit is capable of a total of 30 presets.

10 AM presets in 2 groups (AM1 & AM2).
20 FM presets in 4 groups (FM1 - FM4).

Each of the individual groups can have a total of 5 presets.

In other words, there are 6 groups of 5 presets (AM1 AM2 FM1 FM2 FM3 FM4) for a total of 30 presets. Hope that makes sense.

You have preset buttons 1-3 on the top of the unit. Preset button #3 is the MEMORY or "set" button.

Try these steps and you should be up and running.

1. Choose which band you want to use. ie. AM1 AM2 FM1 FM2 FM3 FM4.
2. Tune in a station

3. Click the #1 preset button and watch the screen, let's say that you have tuned into the station FM 100.0, the station frequency is displayed along with the "group" you're in (ie. AM1...FM4) and you will also notice a number in between your "group" id and your station. This is the # you're going to set and the way to change this from 1-5 is simply by pressing the #1 preset button until the # comes up that you want to save it to.

4. Press #3 Preset button (labeled "MEMORY")
5. That's it, now do all the stations you want but be mindful that once you have programmed 5 presets to any given group, you have to move on to the next group until you've maxed out the total # of presets.

Hope this helps.
