Tuning Modes
The XM-100 supports three Modes of channel selection:
Channel (default), Category and Category/Channel. Examples
of categories are Rock, Classical, etc.
Channel Mode allows you to scroll through and select any
channel in the entire XM lineup regardless of what category
the channel belongs to. Channel Mode is the default Mode at
power up. When you switch to Category Mode, the unit will
scroll through the different Categories offered by XM.
Category/Channel Mode allow the user to scroll through
channels only within the current category. This is particularly
useful when, for example, if you want to listen to and scroll
through news channels only.
To cycle through the three tuning Modes, press the MODE
button. By default the unit is in Channel Mode and the CHAN
LED is illuminated. When you press the MODE button once, the
unit will enter Category Mode and the “CAT” LED is illuminated
on the front panel. Press MODE again to enter
Category/Channel Mode (both CHAN and CAT LEDS are
illuminated) and again to return to CHAN Mode.
Changing Channels
You can change channels in either Channel or
Category/Channel Mode using three methods:
•
Channel up/down buttons
•
Direct channel entry using numbered buttons on the
remote
•
Preset button on the remote to tune to a preset channel
Use the up/down buttons on the front panel or remote to scroll
through channels. You will notice that the channel number and
name, artist name, and song title information in the display
change to reflect the new channel. Selection (and audio) of the
new channel occurs a couple seconds after you have finished
pushing the buttons.
You can also tune to a specific channel directly simply by
pressing in its channel number using the NUMERIC
buttons on
