TUNER OPERATION 45

The AVR 340’s tuner is capable of tuning AM, FM
and FM Stereo broadcast stations and receiving
RDS data. Stations may be tuned manually, or
they may be stored as favorite station presets and
recalled from a 30 position memory.

Station Selection
1. Press the AM/FM Tuner Select button 

6

on the remote to select the tuner as an input.
The tuner may be selected from the front panel
by either pressing the Input Source Selector
% until the tuner is active or by pressing the
Tuner Band Selector ! at any time.

2. Press the AM/FM Tuner Select button 

6

or Tuner Band Selector ! again to switch
between AM and FM so that the desired 
frequency band is selected.

3. Press the Tuner Mode button 

I on the

remote or hold the Band Selector ! on the
front panel pressed for 3 seconds to select 
manual or automatic tuning.

When the button is pressed so that 

AUTO

appears in the Main Information Display Ò
each press of the Tuning Selectors 8

J will

put the tuner in a scan mode that seeks the next
higher or lower frequency station with accept-
able signal strength. An 

AUTO S T TUNED

indication will momentarily appear when the sta-
tion stops at a stereo FM station, and an 

AUTO

TUNED

indication will momentarily appear

when an AM or monaural FM station is tuned.
Press the Tuning buttons again to scan to the
next receivable station.

When the button is pressed so that 

MANUAL

appears in the Main Information Display Ò
each tap of the Selector will increased or
decrease the frequency by one increment. When
the tuner receives a strong enough signal for
adequate reception,

MANAUL TUNED

will

appear in the Main Information Display Ò.

4. Stations may also be tuned directly by pressing
the Direct button 

J, and then pressing the

H that correspond to the sta-

tion’s frequency. Note that for entering numbers
higher than 100 you need to enter only the "1"
rather than "10", the first "0" will be added
automatically. The desired station will automati-
cally be tuned after the latest number is entered.
If you press an incorrect button while entering a
direct frequency, press the Clear button 

 to

start over.

NOTE: When the FM reception of a stereo
station is weak, audio quality will be increased
by switching to Mono mode by pressing the
Tuner Mode button 

I on the remote or hold-

ing the Band Selector ! on the front panel so
that 

MANUAL

appears momentarily in the

Main Information Display Ò and then goes
out.

Preset Tuning
Using the remote, up to 30 stations may be
stored in the AVR’s memory for easy recall using
the front panel controls or the remote.

To enter a station into the memory, first tune the
station using the steps outlined above. Then:

1. Press the Memory button 

 on the remote.

Note that two underscore lines will appear in the
Main Information Display Ò.

2. Within five seconds, press the Numeric 
Keys

H corresponding to the location where

you wish to store this station’s frequency. Once
entered, the preset number will appear in the
Main Information Display Ò.

3. Repeat the process after tuning any additional
stations to be preset.

Recalling Preset Stations
• To manually select a station previously entered
in the preset memory, press the Numeric Keys
H that correspond to the desired station’s
memory location.

• To manually tune through the list of stored pre-
set stations one by one, press the Preset
Stations Selector buttons #

 on the front

panel or remote.

tings from the main listening room. This is useful
for situations where some or all of the remote
rooms do not have an IR sensor, or to take con-
trol over the remote room without actually being
in that room.

In addition to using the 

MULTIROOM

menu,

as shown on the previous page, you may change
the source or volume in the remote zone using
the remote. Press the Multiroom Button

Q

on the remote, and when the 

MULTI

ON/OFF

message appears in the on-screen

display and the Lower Display Line Ò, press
the Set Button

F and then press the 

⁄

¤

D to toggle past

that message to 

MULTI LEVEL

or 

MULTI INPUT

.

To change the remote room’s input source,
when 

MULTI INPUT

appears, press the 

F, and then press the 

⁄

¤

D until the desired input

appears in the on-screen display and in the
Lower Display Line Ò. Remember that only
analog or PCM input sources may be selected
for use with the Multiroom system. Dolby Digital
or DTS sources are not available to the
Multiroom system.

To change the remote room’s volume, when

MULTI LEVEL

appears, press the Set

F, and press the 

⁄

¤

D to change the volume setting. Note

that this volume adjustment controls the level
for the output to the Multiroom Audio
Outputs

' and for any speakers connected to

the Surround Back/Multiroom Speaker
Outputs

 when the Surround Back amplifier

channels are configured for Multiroom use, as
shown on page 44. This adjustment does NOT
change the volume level for any room where an
ABUS module is used, as that setting is only
adjustable using the A-BUS module’s volume
control or built-in IR sensor.

Once the multiroom system is turned on, it will
remain on even if the AVR is placed in the
Standby mode in the main room by pressing the
Power Off Button

0 or the System Power

Control 2 on the front panel. To turn off the
multiroom system from the main listening room,
when the AVR is on press the Multiroom but-
ton 

Q and then the Set button F. Press the

⁄

¤

buttons 

D so that the Main

Information Display Ò or OSD will display

MULTI OFF

.

Even when the AVR is turned off (to Standby
mode) and the multiroom system is turned off
too, the multiroom system may be turned on at
any time by pressing the Multiroom button
Q, or any of the Selector buttons ∫ç
∂ in the remote room.
