OPERATION Figure฀25฀-฀FM฀Radio Use the 1/5 Buttons or the Channel Control to tune a station (or฀channel฀for฀XM฀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 in the front-panel display. 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. XM RADIO OPERATION To฀listen฀to฀Satellite฀Radio,฀you'll฀need฀to฀connect฀an฀XM฀Satellite฀ Radio฀tuner฀(sold฀separately)฀to฀your฀XM฀Ready฀receiver.฀XM฀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 weather, and news from your most trusted sources. Once฀you've฀purchased฀an฀XM฀tuner,฀you'll฀need฀to฀activate฀and฀ subscribe to begin enjoying the service. Easy-to-follow installation and setup instructions are provided with the satellite tuners. There are a variety of programming packages available, including the option of adding "The Best of SIRIUS" programming. ("The Best of SIRIUS" service฀is฀not฀available฀to฀XM฀Canada฀subscribers฀at฀this฀time.)฀฀ Family-friendly packages are also available to restrict channels featuring content that may be inappropriate for children. To฀subscribe฀to฀XM,฀U.S.฀customers฀should฀visit฀xmradio.com฀or฀ call฀1-800-XMRADIO฀(1-800-967-2346);฀Canadian฀customers฀ should฀visit฀xmradio.ca฀or฀call฀XM฀Listener฀Care฀at฀1-877-GETXMSR฀ (1-877-438-9677). The฀AVR฀7550HD฀is฀an฀XM฀Ready฀device,฀and฀is฀able฀to฀receive฀the฀ XM฀service฀when฀a฀user-supplied฀XM฀antenna฀module฀is฀connected฀ and the service activated. Select฀an฀antenna฀module฀designated฀for฀XM฀Ready฀audio฀components.฀ An฀XM฀Ready฀module฀uses฀the฀special฀connector฀on฀the฀AVR฀and฀is฀ controlled by the AVR's 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฀XM฀Mini-Tuner฀and฀Home฀Dock฀(Models฀CNP-2000฀and฀ CNP-2000H; both pieces are required) are compatible with the AVR 7550HD. The older Audiovox® CNP 1000 "Connect-and-Play" module for home audio use is also compatible, but has been discontinued. 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฀XM฀Antenna฀Jack฀on฀the฀rear฀of฀the฀ AVR 7550HD. Place the antenna module so that it has a clear view through a south-facing window. Select฀XM฀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฀"XM฀Radio"฀and฀press฀the฀OK฀Button. 2. Press the Radio Source Selector on the remote repeatedly until XM฀Radio฀is฀selected. There฀are฀four฀ways฀to฀tune฀an฀XM฀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฀XM฀Antenna฀jack,฀and฀that฀the฀module฀is฀near฀ a south-facing window. Try unfolding the module and rotating it 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฀"XM฀Setting". The current channel number and preset location will appear in the฀upper฀line฀of฀the฀Message฀Display,฀and฀the฀channel฀name฀will฀ appear in the lower line. Three signal-strength bars will appear to the right of the channel number and preset location. The song title, artist and channel category, along with the channel number and preset position (if programmed), will all appear on screen when a video display is in use. 36
