Tuner Operation
The AVR21EN has two built-in tuners 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 for each tuner.
Station Selection
1. Press the Radio 1 or Radio 2 Button 3 on the remote to
select one of the tuners as an input. The tuners may be selected
from the front panel either by pressing the
Input Source
Selector E
until one of the tuners is active or by pressing the
Tuner Band Selector 9 followed by the necessary presses of
the
Input Source Selector E, to select the desired tuner.
2. Press the
AM/FM Button or Tuner Band Selector 9 again
to switch between AM and FM so that the desired frequency
band is selected.
3. Press the
Tuner Mode Selector H to select manual or automatic
tuning. When the button is pressed so that
AUTO/STEREO
or AUTO appears in the AVR Upper Display Line , each
press of the
Tuning Selectors 5Kwill put the tuner in a
scan mode that seeks the next higher or lower frequency station
with acceptable signal strength. An
AUTO ST TUNED indica-
tion will momentarily appear when the station stops at an FM
stereo station, and an
AUTO TUNED indication will momen-
tarily appear when an AM or monaural FM station is tuned.
Press the
Tuning Selectors 5Kagain to scan to the
next station.
When the button is pressed so that
MANUAL/MONO or
MANUAL appears in the AVR Upper Display Line , each tap
of the
Tuning Selectors 5Kwill increase or decrease the
frequency by one increment. When the tuner receives a strong-
enough signal for adequate reception,
MANUAL TUNED
will appear in the Lower Display Line .
4. Stations may also be tuned directly in either the automatic or
manual mode. To enter a station’s frequency directly, first select
the AM or FM band, as desired, by pressing the
AM/FM Button
9
. Next, press the Direct Button B on the remote. Within
5 seconds of when
DIRECT IN scrolls in the AVR Upper
Display Line
, enter the station frequency by pressing the
Alphanumeric Keys . If you press an incorrect button while
entering a direct frequency, press the
Direct Button B again
and start over.
NOTE: When direct tuning a station over 100MHz,
when you press the “1” button, “10” will be entered. For exam-
ple,to tune FM 106.7, press 1, then 6 then 7.
NOTE: When the FM reception of a station is weak, audio quality
will be increased by switching to the Mono mode by pressing the
Tuner Mode Button H so that MANUAL/MONO appears
momentarily in the
Upper Display Line and then goes out. This
will also activate manual tuning mode.
Preset Memory Storage
Using the remote, up to 30 stations may be stored in either of
the AVR21EN tuner’s memory, for easy recall, using the front-panel
controls or the remote.
Main Room Operation
To enter a station into the memory, first select Radio 1 or Radio 2,
then tune the station using the steps outlined above. Next:
1. Press the
Zoom/Mem (Memory) Button on the remote;
the station’s frequency will flash.
2. Within 5 seconds, press the
Alphanumeric Keys correspon-
ding to the memory location where you wish to store this
station’s frequency. Once entered, the station frequency and
preset number will flash several times and then appear in the
AVR
Upper Display Line .
3. Repeat the process after tuning any additional stations to
be preset in both tuners.
Recalling Preset Stations
I To manually select a station previously entered in the preset
memory, first select Radio 1 or Radio 2, then press the
Alphanumeric Keys for the desired station’s memory
location. The preset number will flash and then change to
the selected preset.
I To manually scroll through the list of preset stations, press the
Preset Stations Selector Buttons A I on the front
panel or remote.
Recording
In normal operation, the audio or video source selected for listening
through the AVR21EN 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
VR or AUX
Outputs
in the record mode.
When a digital audio recorder is connected to the
Digital Audio
Outputs D
, you are able to record the digital signal using
a CD-R, MiniDisc or other digital recording system.
NOTE: The
Digital Coaxial 3 IN/OUT F can also be used when it has
been configured for Output.
NOTES:
I The digital outputs are active only when a digital signal is
present, and they do not convert an analog input to a digital
signal, or change the format of the digital signal. In addition,
the digital recorder must be compatible with the output signal.
For example, the PCM digital input from a CD player may be
recorded on a CD-R or MiniDisc, but Dolby Digital or DTS
signals may not.
I The
Front-Panel Coaxial 3 F and Game/Cam Jacks
IJLM
may be configured for use as outputs, allowing
connection to a recorder, when the steps shown in the
Front-
Panel Connections
section below are followed.
