/ DAB (if tted). Repeatedly pressing

cycles through
the available tuner bands on your AVR360.
FM/AM analogue radio
Frequency tuning on FM and AM radio is done using
the
<
and
>
buttons on the CR102 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. e 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 oen
information on the currently playing track.
DAB digital radio
If your AVR360 is tted with the optional DAB tuner
you will need to scan for available stations before being
able to listen to them.
To scan for DAB stations, rst select the DAB tuner then
press and hold

until the display indicates scanning
has started. e AVR360 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 CR102
remote control. To listen to the currently displayed
station press the

within
two seconds, the display will revert to displaying the
