Station Name Preset
In addition to identifying stations by
their broadcast frequency, each preset
station may be assigned a name using
alphanumeric characters. This enables
you to identify a station by its call letters,
program format, or any other five char-
acter phrase. 

To enter a station name, first preset all
stations you wish to program into the
tuner’s memory. Then, follow these steps:

1. Tune to the desired preset station.

2. Press the 

button 

Ú

on the

front panel for more than three seconds.

3. Note that a character on the left side of
the main information display will start to
blink. 

4. Enter the first character of the name
using either the front panel 

⁄

or

¤

buttons 

^

or the alphanumeric but-

tons 

m

on the remote. 

A. To use the front panel buttons simply
press and hold 

⁄

^

button

until the desired letter or number
appears. Note that the upper case alpha-
bet will appear, followed by the numbers

1

through 

0

, and then a Ð indicating a

blank space. Tapping the button will
advance the display one character at a
time; holding it down will move the dis-
play quickly. If you pass by the desired
character, use the 

¤

^

to move

the display in reverse.

After entering the first character, press

Ú

to move to the next position

and note that the next digit will blink.
Use the same procedure outline above to
enter a character.

When you have entered a digit or
“blank” in all five spaces, press 

Ú

to confirm the entry

B. To use the remote for character entry,
press the button corresponding to the
desired letter or number. Press it once to
enter the first printed letter, twice for the
second, three times for the third and four
times for the number. Press the “

” but-

ton to enter a blank space. (For example,
press the “

” button once to enter an

“

A

”, three times for a “

C

” and four

times to enter a “

1

”.)

Use the 

button 

o

to move to

the next digit position. When all five
spaces have been filled, press 

again to confirm the entry.

Once a station name has been attached to
a preset position, the station’s frequency
will appear briefly when the unit is tuned
to that station. After a few seconds the
preset name will appear in the display.

Tuning Preset Stations
Stations preset into the tuner’s memory
may be recalled in a number of ways.

1. To recall a station directly enter a
number from 1 to 30 using the number
buttons on the remote s 

m

.

a. To enter a single digit memory
location, press 

before the number,

or enter the number and wait a few
seconds.

b. If an invalid number (other than
1–30) is entered in error, that number
will flash to alert you that the entry is
invalid and the display will return to
the previous frequency display.

2. To scan through the list of preset sta-
tions, press the 

⁄

or 

¤

button on the front panel 

$

. Press once

to move up or down thorough the mem-
ory presets one by one, or press and hold
the button to quickly scan through the
list of stations.

3. To automatically review each station
in the memory, press the 

but-

ton 

n %

. Note that the 

P-SCAN

indi-

cator 

›

will blink. 

4. The tuner will move up through the
list of stations, pausing to play each for
five seconds. Note that preset numbers
where no station has been programmed
will be skipped.

5. When the desired station is reached
press 

%

or 

Û

. 

Clearing Preset Stations 
Once stations are programmed into the
preset memories, it is possible to remove
them individually or as a group.

To remove a single station from the
memory:

1. Recall the station by pressing the but-
tons on the remote corresponding to the
station’s memory location. 

2. Press the 

button 

Ú

or 

o

and observe that the 

MEMO

indicator 

£

will blink.

3. While the indicator is blinking, press
the 

button 

Û

within five sec-

onds. The word 

CLEAR

will show briefly

to confirm that the memory position has
been cleared.

To clear all memory locations, the 
volume level and surround mode 
memories:

1. Press the 

button 

Ú o

and

the 

button 

Û m

at the same

time. 

NOTE: When a complete memory clear is
performed the AVR80

will turn off as

part of the process. After clearing the
memory it is necessary to reset all sta-
tions and set up parameters.
