AM/FM Tuner Operation

The AVR 645's AM/FM tuner is capable of tuning AM,
FM and FM Stereo broadcast stations. Stations may be
tuned manually, or they may be stored as favorite sta-
tion presets and recalled from a 30-position memory.

unit's source, and stations changed, by following one
of these steps:

Selector until the desired tuner frequency band
(AM, FM or XM) appears. To change stations within
a frequency band, press the Tuning Selection
• You may also press the front panel's Tuner Band
Selector to select the tuner. The first press

XM Radio Operation

XM Radio is a satellite-delivered service that offers
hundreds of program channels, as well as local traffic
and weather information for select cities. The AVR 645
is "XM Ready," which means that the unit is able to
receive the XM service when an optional XM Connect
and Play or Passport module is connected and the
service activated. You may purchase the antenna
module needed for XM Radio from many electronics
or online retailers, or directly from XM Radio through
the "Home Receivers" section of the XM Radio Store
at www.xmradio.com.
Once you have purchased the XM module, follow
the instructions accompanying it to activate the XM
Service. Connect the plug on the XM module to the
XM Ready Module Input on the rear panel of
the AVR 645. For best results, point the antenna
module out a window, again, following the instructions
packed with the XM product. If a window view is not
available for the antenna, XM Radio operates a series
of terrestrial repeater stations that may be able to
provide reception, though this service is not available
everywhere.
IMPORTANT NOTE: XM Radio requires both the
optional, external antenna module and a sub-
scription to the XM Radio service. Antenna and
service sold separately; XM Radio is not avail-
able in Alaska or Hawaii.
If you need to view the antenna module's number,
connect it to the AVR and then follow one of the steps
shown below to select XM Radio as the input source.
Tune to "000" to get a readout of the number.
Once you have an activated module connected, follow
one of these steps to select XM Radio as your sys-
tem's audio source:
• From the front panel, press the Input Source
Selector . If XM was the last-used tuner source,
