Preset Tuning
Using the remote, up to 30 stations may be stored in either of the AVR21EN Tuners memory for
easy recall using the front panel controls or the remote.
To enter a station into the memory, first select Radio 1 or Radio 2, then tune the station using the
steps outlined above. Next:
1. Press the Zoom/Mem (Memory) Button [oval 45] on the remote; the station’s frequency will
flash.
2. Within five seconds, press the Alphanumeric Keys [oval 46] corresponding to the memory
location where you wish to store this station’s frequency. Once entered, the station frequency
and preset number will flash several times and then appear in the AVR Upper Display Line
[square 33].
3. Repeat the process after tuning any additional stations to be preset in both tuners.
Recalling Preset Stations
• To manually select a station previously entered in the preset memory, first select Radio 1 or
Radio 2, then press the Alphanumeric Keys [oval 46] for the desired station’s memory
location. The preset number will flash and then change to the selected Preset.
• To manually scroll through the list of preset stations, press the Preset Stations Selector
Buttons [square 11, ovals 19, 42] on the front panel or remote.
Recording
In normal operation, the audio or video source selected for listening through the AVR21EN is sent
to the record outputs. This means that any program you are watching or listening to may be
recorded simply by placing machines connected to the VR [circle 5] or AUX Outputs [circle 8]
in the record mode.
When a digital audio recorder is connected to the Digital Audio Outputs [circles 25, 26, square
14], you are able to record the digital signal using a CD-R, MiniDisc or other digital recording
system. NOTE: The Digital Coaxial 3 IN/OUT [square 16] can also be used when it has been
configured for OUTPUT.
NOTES:
• The digital outputs are active only when a digital signal is present, and they do not convert an
analog input to a digital signal, or change the format of the digital signal. In addition, the digital
recorder must be compatible with the output signal. For example, the PCM digital input from a
CD player may be recorded on a CD-R or MiniDisc, but Dolby Digital or DTS signals may not.
