AVR Operating Your AVR, continued Listening to FM and AM Radio Select the Radio source. Use the Tuning Up/Down buttons to tune a station, which will be shown on the front-panel display and the TV screen. The AVR defaults to automatic tuning, meaning each press of the Tuning Up/Down buttons scans until a station with acceptable signal strength is found. To switch to manual tuning, in which each press of a Tuning button steps through a single frequency increment, press the Tuning Mode button. Each press of the Tuning Mode button toggles between the automatic and manual tuning modes. Once you have tuned an FM station, toggling the Tuning Mode setting also switches the radio between stereo and monaural reception. (Mono reception may improve reception of weaker stations.) Preset Stations A total of 30 stations (AM and FM combined) may be stored as presets. When the desired station has been tuned in, press the Memory button on the remote, and two dashes will flash on the front-panel Message display. Use the Number buttons to enter the desired preset number. To tune a preset station, press the Preset Up/Down buttons or enter the preset number using the Number buttons.
