Tuning/Channel Selection

When switching to the internal TUNER source, the AVR400 enters the last used tuner band, be it AM / FM

/DAB (if fitted). Repeatedly pressing Tcycles through the available tuner bands on your AVR400.

FM/AM analogue radio

Frequency tuning on FM and AM radio is done using the <and >buttons on the CR102 remote control in TUN device mode. Individual presses move the frequency down and up one step. If you press and hold either of the tuning buttons for two seconds, the tuner scans to

the next strong signal. You can stop a scan at any time by pressing one of the tuning buttons again.

In Europe, the internal FM radio is capable of receiving RDS (Radio Data System) radiotext signals that are transmitted on some stations. The RDS information typically includes the radio station name, the music or speech genre as well as additional information related to the current programme. On music stations this is often information on the currently playing track.

DAB digital radio

If your AVR400 is fitted with the optional DAB tuner you will need to scan for available stations before being able to listen to them.

To scan for DAB stations, first select the DAB tuner then press and hold Ountil the display indicates scanning has started. The AVR400 will then scan all the DAB radio frequencies and compile a list of the stations that are available.

When the scan is complete, you can scroll through the station list using the <and >buttons on the CR102 remote control. To listen to the currently displayed station press the O. If you do not press Owithin two seconds, the display will revert to displaying the currently playing station.

Internet radio

Please see the Network/USB Operation section on page E-45 for details of internet radio operation.

Saving and selecting Presets

Preset selection uses the B and C keys on the remote to browse and Oto select the preset when the CR102 is in TUN device mode.

Up to 50 presets can be stored and these can be from any band, for example Preset 1 could be an AM station, preset two a DAB station, etc. Pressing the OK key causes the next available preset number to be displayed, then pressing the OK key again stores the current frequency/ channel in that preset. If a different preset number is required, press the B or C keys until the desired number is displayed before pressing the OK key for a second time.

Deleting Presets

When in tuner browse mode (using B and ,to scroll through the presets), the yellow button on the CR102 remote is used to delete the currently highlighted (but not playing) station or frequency.
