I have a Wharfedale WH170 car stereo. I have programmed the radio channels, but whenever I turn off the ignition, the programmes are lost and I have to retune and store the channels again. Is there anything I can do to store the channels? Cheers

Tuning to radio stations

1. 1 Select TUNER source. ? TUNER is displayed briefly.
2. 2 Press BAND once or more to select your
   waveband.

1. 3 Press down on TUNING a? or a? and release button.
   ? The radio automatically tunes to a station with sufficient reception. Display indication during automatic tuning: SEARCH.? If a FM station is received in stereo, STEREO is shown.
2. 4 Repeat step 3 if necessary until you find the desired station.

To tune to a weak station, press TUNING briefly and repeatedly until you have found optimal reception.


Programming radio stations
You can store up to a total of 40 radio stations in the memory.
Automatic programming
Automatic programming will start with a chosen preset number. From this preset number upwards, former programmed radio stations will be overridden.The system will only programme stations which are not in the memory already.
Press PRESET 3 or 4 (on the remote control ¡ or TM ) to select the preset number where programming should start.
Note:
- If no preset number is selected, default is preset (1) and all your presets will be overridden.
Press PROGRAM for more than 2 seconds to activate programming.? AUTO is displayed and available stations are programmed in order of waveband reception strength: FM followed by MW and LW.The last preset automatically stored will then be played.
Manual programming
Tune to your desired station (see "Tuning to radio stations").
Press PROGRAM to activate programming. ? PROGRAM flashes in the display.
Press PRESET 3 or 4 (on the remote control ¡ or TM ) to allocate a number from 1 to 40 to this station.
Press PROGRAM again to confirm the setting. ? PROGRAM disappears, the preset number and the frequency of the preset station are shown.
Repeat the above four steps to store other stations.

is your stereo the OEM (factory original) model? Does the car have a factory-installed anti-theft system? If the answer to both is Yes, you may have a logic conflict since many anti-theft systems go to and through the car's stereo. If you still have the original owner's manual, check the section on anti-theft or security systems. It may list a reset procedure that returns the system to factory defaults. If you have an aftermarket anti-theft system, you may have to disable it until troubleshooting and repair processes have been accomplished. Incidentally, by the car sitting without a battery for five years, all E-prom programming may have been degraded or lost. As for the volume increasing, some GM/Delco radios have a volume compensation feature that increases volume levels as speed increases.

the other solution is so your stereo holds it's memory when you turn off the engine...you want to know how to store numbers into the unit...

It's broken. I have a couple on my bench with this fault and they're not worth fixing when you can pick up replacements on Ebay for 30 quid.

NOTE: This is a really common failure mode. You're just unlucky it happened outside the warranty.

Hello
Press the MTS on the remote control handset to select STEREO, MONO or SAP. All the options will be available only when the current TV channel is broadcasting that option. Channels will not always carry programes, that have all MTS options. If "STEREO" appears on the screen when you select a channel means stereo sound is available with current programme. You can hear sound from both speakers. If broadcast is not strong and clear, stereo sound will not be available. Press "MTS" button to change it to "Mono". This will eliminate the noise. If "MONO" appears on the screen when you select a channel, stereo effect will not be availabe, even though you have set it to stereo. If "SAP" appears when you select a channel 'Second Audio Programe' [SAP] broadcasting is available for that programme. Press the "MTS" button to 'SAP' and you can hear that programe in different language or some other kind of audio.

IF this aftermarket fitted then the ignition live and permanent live feed to the stereo are configured round the the other way on the head unit.i think it may be the red wire and yellow wire need swapping.

This sounds like a Phillips Car Stereo:

To get the code in:
1. Turn the stereo off.
2. Turn off the ignition
3. Turn the ignition back on (dash warning lights on)
4. Hold and keep down the AS button on the stereo.
5. Turn the stereo on.
6. Release the AS button after 4 dashes appear on the display
7. Now enter code (if code = 7009. Press preset button 1 seven times, button
2 once
3 once
4 nine times
If you go past you can go round again by pressing the
preset button repeatedly
8. Once all 4 numbers are correct hold down AS again until you hear a beep (2 - 5 seconds)
9. The stereo after beeping will scan to program channels
You have 10 attempts to get the code in. However some models will not give you the number of attempts remaining!

Time delays work as follows:

Attempt 1. 10 seconds
Attemp 2. 30 seconds.
Attempt 3. 10 minutes.
Attempt 4. 20 minutes
Attempt 5. 40 minutes
Attempt 6. 80 minutes
Attempt 7 160 minutes
Attempt 8 320 minutes
Attempt 9. 640 minutes (yes that is 10 hours 40 minutes!!)

Vitally important thing to remember, the countdown timer works only when the radio is switched on. ANY interruption in the power will reset the timer!

So, be prepared for a VERY long wait to be able to enter the code!
Oh, and if it has reached 10 attempts, then it needs a dealer unlock.

There's a wire on the radio that connects to a constantly LIVE 12V circuit. This wire usually has an inline fuse. If this wire has become disconnected, or if the fuse blew, or if the fuse supplying the area that this wire is connected to has blown, you'll lose all memory capability on the radio.

Check the fuses in your car's fuseblock for a blown fuse. If you can't find anything blown, check the inline fuse described earlier. My guess is that you'll find one of these is causing the problem.

Let me know what happens. Please rate accordingly.

I have the same dvd player but no remote any one know where to get one thanks
