Tuner Operation
The AVR480’s tuner is capable of tuning
AM, FM and FM Stereo broadcast stations.
Stations may be tuned manually, or they
may be stored as favorite station presets
and recalled from a 30-position memory.
Region Selection
The AVR’s FM tuner must be set for
compatibility with the television format
and radio broadcasts in your area. Using
the Region Selector L located on the
rear panel of the receiver, select the
position corresponding to the country
in which you are using the receiver:
C, S or K.
Refer to the chart below to determine the
proper setting. For other countries, con-
sult with your dealer or distributor to
determine the correct setting.
