bands.
Use the KL Buttons or the Channel Control to tune a station, as displayed
on the front panel and on screen.
The AVR defaults to automatic tuning, meaning each press of the KL
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
KL Buttons steps through a single frequency increment (0.05MHz 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. Use the Numeric Keys to enter the desired preset number.
To tune a preset station: Press the Preset KL Buttons or enter the preset
number using the Numeric Keys.
rDS operation
The AVR 160 is equipped with RDS (Radio Data System), which brings a
wide range of information to FM radio. Now in use in many countries, RDS
is a system for transmitting station call signs or network information, a
description of station program type, text messages about the station or
specifics of a musical selection, and the correct time.
As more FM stations become equipped with RDS capabilities, the AVR will
serve as an easy-to-use center for both information and entertainment. This
section will help you take maximum advantage of the RDS system.
RDS Tuning
When an FM station is tuned in and it contains RDS data, the AVR will
automatically display the station’s call sign or other program service in the
Message Display.
