Panasonic SA-PM250, how do you swap between preset stations when playing the radio. Manual does not explain. Can’t work it out. ??

The SA-PM250 is the main unit of the Panasonic SC-PM250 CD micro Hi-Fi system. Panasonic has the manual for the system on the product page: https://www.panasonic.com/au/consumer/home-entertainment/hi-fi/sc-pm250.html . Click on the Support tab. The current link to the manual is https://www.panasonic.com/content/dam/Panasonic/support_manual/Home_Audio/English_01-rqt0-vqt9/rqt9926-b.pdf .

I hope this helps.

Make sure that you have the source set to FM or AM and the correct sound quality mode selected. Then press the Search track (fast forward or fast reverse) buttons on the remote. (These two buttons have the << or >> symbols and are on either side of the Stop button on the original remote.) If you press and hold the button, the radio will scan the frequencies in that direct until the next station that can be tuned in. The Skip buttons ('<< or >>') only goes to preset stations. As far as I can tell, these buttons are not on the main unit.

The remote is listed as part N2QAYB000639 . A replacement remote is available at several online locations including amazon.co.uk . See https://www.amazon.co.uk/Panasonic-N2QAYB000639-Remote-Control-SCHC15EBK/dp/B00H988QAM . The manual is available online here: http://panasonic.ae/en/manuals/SC-PM200.pdf . The SC-PM200 is the model for the entire system; SA-PM200 is the main unit. See section 7 for the radio tuning information.

I hope this helps.

The EUR7711150 remote works for several different Panasonic CD stereo systems. To switch between AM and FM, press the Tuner/Band button. (If you were in another mode, you'll need to press the Tuner/Band button once to get to the Tuner mode and then toggle if needed.) Then if you press Play Mode (above Repeat to the left of the number keys), you can toggle between Preset and Manual. In Preset, the rewind and fast forward buttons select between your preset stations. Alternatively, you can set the presets to numerical values and touch the appropriate number button. (Touch the >=10 button first to access Memories 10-15.) If you are on Manual, the rewind and fast forward buttons will let you move up and down between the frequencies. Pressing and holding Rewind or Fast Forward for a moment will let the radio scan to the next frequency in that direction with a signal.

The CD button enables the CD or MP3 disc player mode. AUX and Tape are for external audio devices and cassette tape mode, respectively.

These comments are based on using the remote with the Panasonic SA-PM19. Please add a comment with the specific model of your Panasonic radio if you need additional assistance.

I hope this helps.

There is also other information available on the Panasonic support website. Search by model number on the Home Theater support page.

You need your radio code its 4 numbers, you use your radio preset station button to change the # press the 1 station button till you put in your code then the # 2 preset station # then 3, then fourth preset. You should find your code in your service manual. when your code is in, press the + or - button on the station search, or refer to your manual. good luck

go to the radio and then pres the play button and then go down to tuning and the pres the play button till it says manual and then it should let u change the station.

Just bought the same unit but the instruction manual was double dutch. After messing around for a while I managed to do it like this. Whe the unit is set to DAB, Press the Sel+/TU+ or the Sel-/TU- button on the unit (not the remote) until the DAB station displays and then press the Select CH+ button again on the unit. Wait a few seconds while the word "tuning" is displayed and that station should now play. To save the station as a preset do this. When the station is playing use the remote and press the PRG/MEM button once. Then press the number for which preset you want that station to be. The station will be saved. EG to save Radio 1 as Preset station 1, play Radio 1, Press PRG/MEM, then press number 1. After that whenever you press number 1 on the remote Radio 1 will play. Do the same with any other station you wish to save. To save station 10 press the 0/10 button on the remote. To save station 11 press 10+ then 1, 12 is 10+ the 2 etc. Good luck Dopeyemma
