Tuner Operation; Entering Presets; Selecting Presets - Harman Kardon HS 100 Owner's Manual

Tuner Operation

The HS 100's internal tuner may be used to listen to
AM, FM and FM Stereo broadcasts, with an innovative
preset system for tuning stations. FM stations are fur-
ther identified by the name assigned by the broadcaster
when RDS information is present.
You may listen to the radio by simply turning on the
HS 100 and selecting the tuner mode, but we recom-
mend that you first take a few minutes to program the
preset stations for easier operation. To access the tuner,
follow these steps:
1. If the HS 100 is in the Standby mode, press the
Radio Button on the remote to turn on
the unit.
2. If the HS 100 is already on, press the Radio Button
on the remote to switch the input, or press the
Source Button on the front panel until the tuner
is the active input.
3. Press the Radio Button at any time to change
the frequency band.

Entering Presets

Manual Tuning and Preset Entry
The RADIO menu shows the list of "Station" preset
numbers along with the corresponding AM or FM fre-
quency. You may change the frequency assigned to
any Station preset, change the order of the presets
and add an FM station's "name" (or other information
programmed by the station) when RDS is available.
To manually tune a station and assign a preset number
to it, follow these steps after selecting the Radio func-
tion, and the Radio menu is on your video display:
