LISTENING TO AM/FM RADIO

CHOOSING THE TUNER MODE

The AVR 4's [TUNER MODE] key is a dual-purpose control. Toggle [TUNER
MODE] to switch between "FM STEREO ON" and "FM STEREO OFF". In the
normal position, "FM STEREO ON", only the stations with a strong signal can
be listened to, and the noise between stations is muted.
Pressing the [TUNER MODE] button again ("FM STEREO OFF") allows distant
and potentially noisy stations to be received. Noise is reduced if the FM
station signal level is less than the FM Stereo threshold (since mono FM is
inherently less noise-prone) though at the sacrifice of the stereo effect.

ABOUT USER NAMES

A particular Preset number can be assigned an eight-character "User
Name". The assigned "User Name" will be shown in the VFD whenever the
associated Preset number is recalled.
ENTERING USER NAMES
To assign a Preset number with the user name "NEWS", follow the procedure
as below.
1 Recall the desired Preset number.
2 Then, press and hold [INFO] of the AVR 4 until the display shows a
flashing cursor point.
3 Use the [ D/F ] buttons to select the first character of the name ("N"
from the alphabetical list).
4 Press [ S ] button to select the character and correspondingly move
forward to the next position. (Press [ A ] to go back to the previous
character). Repeat this process for each character in sequence.
5 Press the [INFO] key to store the User Name and exit the text-entry
mode.

ABOUT RDS

The Radio Data System (RDS) permits sending small amounts of digital
information using conventional FM radio broadcasts. The T 748 supports
two RDS modes, program-service name (PS mode) and radio-text (RT
mode). Not every FM station incorporates RDS in its broadcast signal. In
most areas you will find from one to several RDS-enabled stations, but it is
by no means impossible that your favorite stations will not be broadcasting
RDS data.
VIEW RDS TEXT
When an RDS-enabled FM broadcast is tuned, the readout's character
section will show its program-service name (PS) text.

Press the AVR 4's [INFO] button to toggle the readout between this and the
station's radio-text (RT) readout, if any, which might scroll song- or artist-
name, or any other text of the station's choosing.
