Operation 26 When a PCM source is playing, the PCM indicator I will light, and the Main Information Display will show the input source and the digital type. During PCM playback you may select any surround mode except Dolby Digital. Tuner Operation The AVR45's tuner is capable of tuning AM, FM and FM Stereo broadcast stations. Stations may be tuned manually, or they may be stored as favorite station presets and recalled from a 30 position memory. Station Selection 1. Press the AM/FM button $ k to select the tuner as an input. 2. Press the AM/FM button $ k again to switch between AM and FM so that the desired frequency band is selected. 3. Press the Tune Mode button * q to select manual or automatic tuning. When the AUTO indicator O is illuminated in the Main Information Display the tuner will only stop at those stations that have a strong enough signal to be received with acceptable quality. When the MONO indicator Q is illuminated, the tuner is in a manual mode and will stop at each frequency increment in the selected band. 4. To select stations press the Tuning button % t. When the AUTO indicator O is illuminated each press will cause the tuner to search for the next highest or lowest frequency station that has an acceptable signal. When tuning FM stations in the Auto mode, the tuner will only select Stereo stations. To tune to the next station, press the button again. If the MONO indicator Q is illuminated, tap the Tuning button % t to advance one frequency increment at a time, or press and hold it to locate a specific station. When the TUNED indicator R illuminates, the station is properly tuned and should be heard with clarity. 5. Stations may also be tuned directly by pressing the Direct button m, and then pressing the Numeric Keys l that correspond to the station's frequency. The desired station will automatically be tuned. NOTE: When the FM reception of a station is weak, audio quality will be increased by switching to Mono mode by pressing the Tune Mode button * q until the STEREO indicator P goes out. Preset Tuning Up to 30 stations may be stored in the AVR45's memory for easy recall using the front panel controls or the remote. To enter a station to the memory, first tune the station using the steps outlined above. Then: 1. Press the Memory button n on the remote. Note that MEMORY indicator N will illuminate and flash in the Information Display. 2. Within five seconds, press the Numeric Keys l corresponding to the location where you wish to store this station's frequency. 3. Repeat the process after tuning any additional stations to be preset. Recalling Preset Stations • To manually select a station previously entered in the preset memory, press the Numeric Keys l that correspond to the desired station's memory location. • To manually tune through the list of stored preset stations one by one, press the Preset buttons & s on the front panel or remote. • To automatically scan through the stations entered in the preset memory, press the Preset Scan button ^ on the front panel. The tuner will run through the list of preset stations, stopping for five seconds at each one. Press the button again to stop the scan at your desired station. Tape Recording In normal operation, the audio or video source selected for listening through the AVR45 is sent to the record outputs. This means that any program you are watching or listening to may be recorded simply by placing machines connected to the outputs for Tape Monitor d or Video One ¢ in the record mode. When a tape recorder with separate record and playback heads is used, you may monitor the output of the recording by selecting the T•Mon Selector 9 k. Note that a red LED will illuminate in the front panel above the T•Mon Selector 9 to remind you that you are listening to the record playback instead of the actual input source being recorded. NOTE: It is not possible to record the output of Dolby Digital programs.
