the category name of the current channel. Additional presses will display
the artist, song title and channel name.

After you have tuned a particular radio station, press this
button, then the numeric keys, to save that station as a radio preset.

save the current channel in one of the 40 available preset locations,
press the Set Button repeatedly until PRESET SEARCH appears. Use
/
the ⁄ ¤ Buttons to select a letter (A through E) representing one of
the five banks of preset memory slots. Then press the Memory button,

location you wish to save the channel in.

used with many source components to change tracks or chapters.
Dim:
Press this button to partially or fully dim the front-panel display.
Transport Controls:
These buttons have no effect on the receiver,
but are used to control many source components. By default, when the
