Yes, it has mute (on the play/pause button, so it works in a similar way to muting/pausing an mpeg). Station presets are up/down on the front panel, or direct access via the numeric keypad on the remote. Source select is on the remote (one press) but via menus on the unit.

Multicoloured display isn't possible with VFDs (well, not a bitmap one anyway). Volume is done by pressing and holding the left/right buttons. It's pretty effective.

It's fine 88-108Mhz. We don't support japan's FM band though. In the US you can tell it to tune in 0.2Mhz increments.
