4.4.1 FM • AM TUNER
The AVM 50 has a built-in FM • AM tuner, which is common to all Paths. The station that is selected in either
MAIN, ZONE2, ZONE3, or RECORD is shared with all other Paths.
Manual Tuning:
After selecting the desired band by pressing FM • AM, use the buttons
(Remote Control) or press TUNE and rotate the Master Control Knob (Front Panel).
Automatic Tuning:
To find the next station, press SEEK or SEEK. To scan and listen to all available
stations for a few seconds, press and hold SEEK or SEEK for about a second.
The ‘Sk ’ or ‘ Sk’ indicator on the display will change to ‘Prv ’ or ‘ Nxt’. To
stop scanning, press one of the SEEKbuttons to return to Seek mode, or press
TUNE to tune manually (Front Panel only). Press TUNE a second time to restore the
regular functions and display (the TUNE function does not time out).
Direct Tuning (Remote Control Only):
A station’s frequency can be entered as a four-digit number. For example, to tune into 98.3 FM, press and hold
SELECT until the display shows “<blank>0.0” in the lower left corner, then press 0, 9, 8, 3.
Presets:
18 FM and 6 AM stations can be stored. The presets are divided into four banks of six. By repeatedly pressing
FM • AM, the display will show that you are cycling through ‘FM1’, ‘FM2’, ‘FM3’, ‘AM’. Once you have selected
the desired bank, you can store the currently tuned radio station by pressing and holding one of the six
preset keys (1 through 6) for about a second. You can even do this while scanning for stations. The lower line
of the display briefly flashes once the station is stored. To skip a preset, set it to 87.5 FM or 530 AM.
To recall a preset, select the bank that it is in, then press the respective preset key. From the Remote Control,
you can also use the CH
+
and CH keys to run through all FM or AM presets.
ST / HiB / M (Front Panel Only):
If FM reception is weak, switching a station out of stereo can reduce or eliminate
unwanted noise. Press ST / HiB / M repeatedly to cycle through Stereo, Hi-Blend, or
Mono. Hi-Blend offers an alternative to Mono, offering decreased noise without the
complete loss of stereo – it decreases hiss and noise by reducing some stereo separation
only at higher frequencies. The setting is memorized individually for each preset.
4.4.2 SIMULCAST
Simulcast allows you to select one video Source and a different audio Source. For example, you could view
a sports event on TV while listening to your favorite FM • AM station. Simulcast is available for all Paths.
Press and hold the desired video Source button for 2 seconds. The display shows “SIMULCAST” and the
video Source in the top line, and the audio Source in the bottom line – while this is on the display, press
another Source button to select an audio Source. Audio from an HDMI input cannot be used with a different
video Source. When the regular display returns, the Source LED indicates the video Source, and the display
shows the audio Source next to a ‘+’.
To exit from Simulcast mode, press any Source button – both the audio and video will switch to this selection.
