The available choices are:

Using the AM/FM Tuner
The RR 2150’s AM/FM/FM stereo is exceptionally flexible and user-friendly. It is, however, the only source that must be set up to match your listening preferences. Once you’ve followed the simple steps shown in the following pages, you’ll be able to easily enjoy your favorite AM, FM, and FM stereo broadcasts.
Selecting Tuner Mode
To select the tuner from the front panel:
1.Turn the Source Selector (FP17) until the desired band (AM or FM) appears in the front panel display.
2.Using the Up and Down tuning buttons (FP6 and FP7 respectively), tune to the station you want to listen to.
To select the tuner from the remote control:
1.Press the RR device control button (RC2) on the remote control.
2.Press the AM/FM button (RC12) until the desired band appears in the front panel display.
3.Press the Channel Up and Down buttons (RC18 and RC19) to select the desired station.
To select AM or FM when the tuner is already in use with the Source selector:
nTurn the Source selector (FP17) until the correct band appears in the front panel display.
To select AM or FM when the tuner is already in use with the Function button:
1.Press the Function button on the front panel (FP8) or the remote control (RC21) once.
“Band” appears in the front panel display, the Function button’s blue LED lights and the Enter button’s red LED blinks.
2.Press Enter on the front panel (FP9) or the remote control (RC17).
The red LED on the Enter button will go out and the blue LED on the Function button will continue to glow.
3.Use the Up or Down tuning button on the front panel (FP6/FP7) or on the remote control (RC18/RC19) until you’ve made your choice.
The selected band appears in the front panel display.
4.Press Enter again.
The blue LED on the Function button will extinguish.
Obviously, using the Source selector is far easier and you’ll probably use this method most of the time. The reason we began with the Function button is that it lets you access other benefits, as described below.
Tuning a Station and The Tuning Mode
The RR 2150’s Tune Mode function lets you choose between Manual and Auto tuning modes.
Manual Tuning This mode uses the Up or Down tuning buttons to take you to the next lower or higher frequency regardless of whether or not that frequency carries a broadcast. In this mode, FM stations are tuned regardless of whether the broadcast is mono or stereo.
Auto Tuning This mode uses the Up or Down tuning buttons to advance to the next higher (or lower) frequency in the band you’ve selected that has a signal strong enough for acceptable reception. In this mode only FM stations broadcasting stereo signals are tuned.
To select the desired tuning mode using the Function button:
1.Press the Function button on the front panel (FP8) or the remote control (RC21) twice.
“T MODE” appears in the front panel display, the Function button’s blue LED lights and the Enter button’s red LED blinks.
2.Press Enter on the front panel (FP9) or the remote control (RC17).
The red LED on the Enter button will go out and the blue LED on the Function button will continue to glow.
3.Use the Up or Down tuning button on the front panel (FP6/FP7) or the remote control (RC18/RC19) to toggle between the two modes.
The word “Auto” will appear in the front panel display above “T Mode” when Auto tuning is selected. The display will remain blank if Manual tuning is selected.
4. Press the Enter button again.
The front panel display will show the currently tuned broadcast fre- quency.
FM Tuner Mode
To change the FM tuner mode (mono or stereo):
nPress TUNER MODE on the remote control (RC13) to select the desired tuner mode.
STEREO will tune stereo signals.
MONO will tune either mono or stereo signals. When a station’s signal is weak in the STEREO mode, selecting mono will often provide a signal that is more acceptable by switching to the mono sound mode.
Direct Tuning
You may tune up or down through the AM or FM bands using the Up/Down tun- ing controls on the front panel or remote, but sometimes you may wish to tune a station directly. That is easy to do on the RR 2150 by following these steps:
Once you’ve entered the complete frequency, the tuner will automatically tune to it
