OPERATION

Use the 1/5 Buttons or the Channel Control to tune a station (or channel for SIRIUS Radio), as displayed on the front panel and on screen.

The AVR defaults to automatic tuning, meaning each press of the 1/5 Buttons scans through all frequencies until a station with acceptable signal strength is found. To switch to manual tuning, in which each press of the 1/5 Buttons steps through a single frequency increment (0.1MHz for FM, or 10kHz for AM), press the Menu Button. The Mode line will display the current setting. Each press of the OK Button toggles between automatic and manual tuning modes.

When an FM station has been tuned, toggling the tuning mode also switches between stereo and monaural play, which may improve reception of weaker stations.

A total of 30 stations (AM and FM together) may be stored as presets. When the desired station has been tuned, press the OK Button, and two dashes will flash. Use the Alphanumeric Keys to enter the desired preset number.

To tune a preset station: press the 7/3 Buttons or the I‹‹/ ››I Transport Controls; or press the Menu Button and scroll to the desired preset, then press the OK Button; or enter the preset number using the Numeric Keys. For presets 10 through 30, press 0 before the preset number. For example, to enter preset 21, press 0-2-1.

SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO OPERATION

To listen to Satellite Radio, you’ll need to connect a SIRIUS Satellite Radio tuner (sold separately) to your SIRIUS Ready receiver. SIRIUS Satellite Radio is available to residents of the U.S. (except Alaska and Hawaii) and Canada.

Satellite Radio delivers a variety of commercial-free music from categories including Pop, Rock, Country, R&B, Dance, Jazz, Classical and many more, plus coverage of all the top professional and college sports, including play-by-play games from select leagues and teams. Additional programming includes expert sports talk, uncensored entertainment, comedy, family programming, local traffic and weath- er, and news from your most trusted sources.

Once you’ve purchased a SIRIUS tuner, you’ll need to activate it and subscribe to begin enjoying the service. Easy-to-follow installation and setup instructions are provided with the SIRIUS tuner. There are a variety of programming packages available, including the option of adding “The Best of XM” programming. “The Best of XM” service is not available to SIRIUS Canada subscribers at this time. Please check with SIRIUS Canada for any updates using the numbers and web address below.

Family-friendly packages are also available to restrict channels featuring content that may be inappropriate for children.

To subscribe to SIRIUS, U.S. and Candian customers can call 1-888-539-SIRI (1-888-539-7474) or visit Sirius.com (US) or siriuscanada.ca (Canada).

The AVR 3600 is a SIRIUS-Ready device, and is able to receive the SIRIUS service when a user-supplied SIRIUS tuner module is con- nected and the service activated.

Select a tuner module designated for SIRIUS Ready audio components. A SIRIUS Ready module uses the special connector on the AVR and is controlled by the AVR’s internal tuner, including its 40 preset station locations and remote control. Although you may use a “car and home” module with standard audio connections, you will not be able to enjoy the AVR’s ease of control.

The SIRIUS-Connect SC-H1 tuner module is compatible with the AVR 3600. Other modules that have standard analog or digital audio outputs, may be connected to a compatible input and operated using their own controls.

Plug the module into the SIRIUS Jack on the rear of the AVR 3600. Place the tuner module so that it has a clear view through a south- facing window.

Select SIRIUS Radio as the source in one of these ways:

1.Press the Source List Button on the front panel. Use the

1/5 Buttons to scroll to “SIRIUS Radio” and press the OK Button.

2.Press the Radio Source Selector on the remote repeatedly until SIRIUS Radio is selected.

There are four ways to tune SIRIUS Radio channel:

1.Use the 1/5 Buttons or the Channel Control to scan through the channel numbers.

2.Use the 7/3 Buttons to scan through any previously programmed preset stations.

3.After you have programmed presets, directly enter the preset number (1 through 40) using the Alphanumeric Keys. For two-digit positions, enter a “0” before the number.

4.Press the Menu Button to search for a channel by: preset, category, all channels or direct entry.

When you are able to hear Channel 1, you are ready to activate your module. If you don’t hear Channel 1, make sure the module’s plug is firmly seated in the SIRIUS jack, and that the module is near a south-facing window. Try rotating the module to obtain reception. You may need to purchase an extension cable to ensure that the module is near the window.

Tune to Channel 0 for a display of your module’s Radio ID number. You may also view the Radio ID number by pressing the Menu Button and selecting “SIRIUS ID”.

The current channel number and preset location will appear in

the lower line of the Message Display. The song title, artist, channel name, channel category, channel number, preset position (if pro- grammed), and three signal-strength bars, will all appear on screen when a video display is in use.

For traffic and weather channels, the current city’s name will appear instead of the channel name, and the local weather and temperature will be displayed on screen.

A total of 40 channels may be stored as presets. When the desired channel has been tuned, press the OK Button, and two dashes will flash in the front-panel display. Use the Alphanumeric Keys to enter the desired preset number.

To tune a preset, press the 7/3Buttons or the I‹‹/ ››I Transport Controls, or press the Menu Button and scroll to the desired preset, then press the OK Button; or enter the preset number using the Numeric Keys. For presets 10 through 40, press 0 before the preset number. For example, to enter preset 21, press 0-2-1.

RECORDING

Two-channel analog and digital audio signals, as well as composite video signals, are normally available at the appropriate recording outputs. To make a recording, connect your audio or video recorder to the appropriate output jacks, as described in the Installation
