Arcam AVR100 Using the tuner, Tuning to a station, Storing a preset, Deleting an unused preset

VOLUME control

To adjust the volume level of the loudspeakers, pre-amp outputs and headphones use the VOLUME control. The volume level is shown in the display while it is being adjusted. Three seconds after the volume is adjusted, the display reverts to show the selected input.

Note that different sources may require different settings of the VOLUME control to achieve the same perceived volume level.

The volume can be controlled from 0dB over 80 steps.

BASS and TREBLE controls

Turn the bass and treble controls clockwise to boost response or anticlockwise to cut response. For a flat response leave the controls in the 12 o’clock ‘notched’ position.

Pressing the DIRECT button bypasses the bass and treble controls and gives a small improvement to sound quality. If you do not wish to alter the bass or treble controls, we recommended that you select DIRECT.

Tuning to a station

Pressing the PRESET/TUNE button toggles between the two tuning modes of the unit – ‘Preset’ or ‘Tune’. The selected mode is briefly shown in the display.

Preset mode

In Preset mode, press the • and • buttons on the front panel (or P– or P+ on the remote control handset) to cycle up and down the preset stations.

See ‘Storing a preset’ and ‘Deleting unused presets’, below.

Tune mode

In Tune mode:

■ Press the • and • buttons on the front panel (or P– or P+ on the remote control handset) for longer than half-a- second to engage automatic tuning. The tuner searches for a radio station signal of sufficient strength and stops. To skip to the next station, press one of the buttons again. Automatic tuning is available for both the FM and AM bands.

■ Tapping the • and • buttons engages manual tuning. This can be used for tuning to a specific frequency. It is also useful if you are trying to select a station that is too weak for the auto search mode.

Regardless of the mode used to tune your AVR100, when it is accurately tuned to a station ‘•TUNED•’ lights up in the display.

Storing a preset

To store a preset, tune to the radio station you wish to store. Press the STORE button: this causes ‘MEMORY’ to flash in the display. Now select the preset number you wish to assign to the station using the • and • buttons on the front panel (or P– or P+ on the remote control handset). Press the STORE button again.

Once the preset is stored, the display reverts to show the station name (if RDS information is transmitted) or its frequency.

To quit the memory function without storing a preset, leave the tuner controls untouched for ten seconds. It is also possible to overwrite a stored station by saving another in its place. There are thirty presets available for FM use and ten for AM use.

Your presets are retained for several weeks (but not indefinitely), when the AVR100 is disconnected from the mains supply.

Deleting an unused preset

Press the STORE button, then select the preset number you want to delete using the • and • buttons (or P– or P+ on the remote control handset), followed by the FM MUTE/MONO button.

The display briefly shows ‘DELETED’ and ‘– –’ is shown in

place of the preset number. You can reactivate a deleted preset number by storing a station in the normal way.
