Tuning/Channel Selection
When switching to the internal source, the
TUNER
Receiver enters the last used tuner band, be it FM or
DAB. Repeatedly pressing RADIO cycles through the
available tuner bands on your Receiver.
FM analogue radio
Frequency tuning on FM radio is done using the < and
> buttons on the remote control in
TUN device mode.
Individual presses move the frequency down and up one
step. If you press and hold either of the tuning buttons
for two seconds, the tuner scans to the next strong
signal. You can stop a scan at any time by pressing one of
the tuning buttons again.
In Europe, the internal FM radio is capable of receiving
RDS (Radio Data System) radiotext signals that are
transmitted on some stations. The RDS information
typically includes the radio station name, the music or
speech genre as well as additional information related to
the current programme. On music stations this is often
information on the currently playing track.
DAB digital radio
Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) radio
is becoming more widely available. See
www.worlddab.org/country_information for
information on DAB availability.
You will need to scan for available stations before being
able to listen to them.
To scan for DAB stations, first select the DAB tuner then
press and hold O until the display indicates scanning
has started. The Receiver will then scan all the DAB
radio frequencies and compile a list of the stations that
are available.
When the scan is complete, you can scroll through the
station list using the < and > buttons on the remote
control. To listen to the currently displayed station press
the O . If you do not press O within two seconds, the
display will revert to displaying the currently playing
station.

Saving and selecting Presets
Preset selection uses the ' and , keys on the remote
to browse and O to select the preset when the remote is
in TUN device mode.
Up to 50 presets can be stored and these can be from
any band, for example Preset 1 could be an FM station,
preset two a DAB station, etc. Pressing the OK key causes
the next available preset number to be displayed, then
pressing the key again stores the current frequency/
OK
channel in that preset. If a different preset number is
required, press the ' and , keys until the desired
number is displayed before pressing the OK key for a
second time.
Deleting Presets
When in tuner browse mode (using ' and , to
scroll through the presets), the yellow button on the
remote is used to delete the currently highlighted (but
not playing) station or frequency.
