Using the tuner

The AVP700’s radio tuner can be controlled from the upper row of front panel buttons (see diagram,

below) or from the remote control handset. Note that the tuner behaviour can be seen only via the front-

panel display, as there is no on-screen display for the tuner.

Tuning to a station

Pressing the PRESET/TUNE button (or TM on the remote) toggles between the two tuning modes of the

unit – ‘Tune’ or ‘Preset’. The selected mode is shown brie y on the display. When in frequency display

mode, the frequency will be followed by a ‘T’ in tune mode, and ‘P’ in preset mode.

TUNE MODE

In Tune mode:

Press the

and

buttons on the front panel (or P– or P+ on the remote control handset) for

longer than two seconds to engage automatic tuning. The tuner searches for a radio station

signal of suf cient strength and stops. To skip to the next station, press one of the buttons

again. Automatic tuning is available for both the FM and AM bands.

Tapping the

and

buttons engages manual tuning. This can be used for tuning to a speci c

frequency. It is also useful if you are trying to select a station that is too weak for the auto-

search mode.

Regardless of the mode used to tune your AVP700, when it is accurately tuned to a station ‘TUNED’

lights up in the display.

PRESET MODE

When one or more presets have been de ned, ‘Preset’ mode can be used. In Preset mode, use the

and

buttons on the front panel (or P– or P+ on the remote control handset) to cycle up and down

the preset stations.

See below for instructions on storing and deleting presets.

Storing a preset

To store a preset, tune to the radio station you wish to store. Press the STORE button (or DYN on the

remote control): the station frequency is shown on the display, followed by a preset number. Select the

preset number you wish to assign to the station using the

and

buttons on the front panel (or P– or

P+ on the remote control handset), then press the STORE button again.

Once the preset is stored, the display reverts to show the station name (if RDS information is

transmitted) or its frequency.

To quit the memory function without storing a preset, leave the tuner controls untouched for  ve

seconds. It is also possible to overwrite a stored station by saving another in its place. There are thirty

presets available for FM use and ten for AM use.

Deleting a preset

Press the STORE button, then select the preset number you want to delete using the

and

buttons

(or P– or P+ on the remote control handset), followed by the FM MUTE/MONO button (1/STATUS on the

remote control).

The display brie y shows ‘DELETE’ and ‘– –’ is shown in place of the preset number. You can reactivate a

deleted preset number by storing a station in the normal way.

RDS: Radio Data System

The Arcam AVP700 supports RDS Programme Service and RDS Radio Text on FM broadcasts.

When a station carrying RDS information is selected ‘RDS’ lights up in the display and shortly afterwards

the station’s RDS name (e.g. ‘BBC R3’) is shown.

Press the RDS INFO button to view any RDS text information (if a station is not transmitting text

information, the display brie y indicates ‘NO TEXT’ and reverts to show the station name).

Press RDS INFO again to display the station’s frequency.

Pressing RDS INFO a third time returns you to a display of the station name.

If the RDS INFO button is pressed while tuned to a non RDS station, the display shows ‘NO NAME’ for

three seconds before reverting to the default display.

FM Mute/Mono

The AVP700’s tuner has an auto-muting circuit that, when engaged, mutes any signal that is of

insuf cient strength for listening. To engage this circuit press the FM MUTE/MONO button on the front

panel: ‘FM MUTE’ is shown in the display. If a signal is muted you will hear no sound through the

loudspeakers.

Should you wish to listen to a station that is ‘auto muted’ press the FM MUTE/MONO button again to

disengage the muting circuit. The tuner now switches to monoaural reception, cancelling much of the

background hiss. ‘FM MUTE’ is no longer displayed and you are able to continue listening.
