The TM-AM/FM is a tuner module that slides into the card cage 

on a IntelliControl

®

 ICS Modular Multizone Receiver. It provides 

the functionality of a normal tuner: seek through stations, access 

to  20  favorites  and  direct  access  to  a  station  by  entering  the 

channel  frequency.  The  TM-AM/FM  Module  outputs  metadata 

(channel  frequency)  on  IntelliControl  ICS  user  interfaces  with 

displays. Multiple TM-AM/FM Tuner Modules can be used in a 

single chassis to allow multiple AM/FM channels to be played 

simultaneously in different zones.
