Listening to FM and AM Radio

Select the radio source. use the tuning up/down buttons to tune a station, which will be
shown on the front-panel display and the tV screen.
the AVr defaults to automatic tuning, meaning each press of the tuning up/down buttons
scans until a station with acceptable signal strength is found. to switch to manual tuning,
in which each press of a tuning button steps through a single frequency increment, press
the tuning mode button. each press of the tuning mode button toggles between the
automatic and manual tuning modes.
once you have tuned an fm station, toggling the tuning mode setting also switches the
radio between stereo and monaural reception. (mono reception may improve reception
of weaker stations.)
Preset Stations
A total of 30 stations (Am and fm combined) may be stored as presets. when the desired
station has been tuned in, press the memory button on the remote, and two dashes will
flash on the front-panel message display. use the number buttons to enter the desired
preset number.
to tune a preset station, press the preset up/down buttons or enter the preset number
using the number buttons.
