VOLUME control
To adjust the volume level of the loudspeakers, pre-amp outputs
and headphones use the
VOLUME control. The volume level is
shown in the display while it is being adjusted. Three seconds
after the volume is adjusted, the display reverts to show the
selected input.
Note that different sources may require different settings of the
VOLUME control to achieve the same perceived volume level.
The volume can be controlled from 0dB over 80 steps.
BASS and TREBLE controls
Turn the bass and treble controls clockwise to boost response
or anticlockwise to cut response. For a fl at response leave the
controls in the 12 o’clock ‘notched’ position.
Pressing the DIRECT button bypasses the bass and treble
controls and gives a small improvement to sound quality. If
you do not wish to alter the bass or treble controls, we
recommended that you select
DIRECT .

Tuning to a station
Pressing the PRESET/TUNE button toggles between the two
tuning modes of the unit – ‘Preset’ or ‘Tune’. The selected mode
is briefl y shown in the display.
Preset mode
In Preset mode, press the
•
and • buttons on the front panel
(or P– or P+ on the remote control handset) to cycle up and
down the preset stations.
See ‘Storing a preset’ and ‘Deleting unused presets’, below.
Tune mode
In Tune mode:
■
Press the
•
and • buttons on the front panel (or P– or
P+ on the remote control handset) for longer than half-a-
second to engage automatic tuning. The tuner searches
for a radio station signal of suffi cient strength and stops.
To skip to the next station, press one of the buttons
again. Automatic tuning is available for both the FM and
AM bands.
■ Tapping the
•
and • buttons engages manual tuning. This
can be used for tuning to a specifi c frequency. It is also
useful if you are trying to select a station that is too weak
for the auto search mode.
Regardless of the mode used to tune your AVR100, when it is
accurately tuned to a station ‘
• TUNED
•
’ lights up in the display.
Storing a preset
To store a preset, tune to the radio station you wish to store.
Press the
STORE button: this causes ‘MEMORY’ to fl ash in the
display. Now select the preset number you wish to assign to
the station using the
•
and • buttons on the front panel (or
P– or P+ on the remote control handset). Press the STORE
button again.
Once the preset is stored, the display reverts to show the
station name (if RDS information is transmitted) or its frequency.
To quit the memory function without storing a preset, leave the
tuner controls untouched for ten seconds. It is also possible to
overwrite a stored station by saving another in its place. There
are thirty presets available for FM use and ten for AM use.
Your presets are retained for several weeks (but not indefi nitely),
when the AVR100 is disconnected from the mains supply.
Deleting an unused preset
Press the STORE button, then select the preset number you
want to delete using the
•
and • buttons (or P– or P+ on
the remote control handset), followed by the FM MUTE/MONO
button.
The display briefl y shows ‘DELETED’ and ‘– –’ is shown in
place of the preset number. You can reactivate a deleted preset
number by storing a station in the normal way.
The AVR100’s radio tuner can be controlled from the upper row
of front panel buttons (see diagram, below) or from the remote
control handset (see ‘Using the remote control’).
