• Source Presets allow user definable mode presets for each source.
• Source Setup defines operation parameters in one submenu for each source.
• Adjustable Mute Level allows different mute level settings or silent.
Operational Changes
• FM and AM Preset Banks only scan through their respective presets. ---
