Sorry visually impaired people cannot read the display on boombox. But, accessing the channels with the remote or tuner dial is easy. Setting up presets is easy without vision: You just go to Bank A or B with the press of the Preset button on XM's Remote, which is the leftmost button of a group of 3 above the numbers pad, select the stations you want and press the number on the keypad and hold it in until it is set. You will know that when the station stops for a split second then comes back in as the preset is being accepted. Release that number button and that's it. You can not use the presets in direct entry mode, you must be in preset mode to go from one preset to another. Have I confused you enough?
