Tuning/Channel Selection
When switching to the internal TUNER source, the
AV950/AVR750/450/380 enters the last used tuner
band, be it FM or DAB (if tted). Repeatedly pressing

FM analogue radio
Frequency tuning on FM radio is done using the
<

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.

Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) radio
is becoming more widely available. See
www.worlddab.org/country_information for

station list using the
<
