Question about Denon AVC-X3700H

This AV receiver only has Internet radio, i.e. no radio via cable or aerial. I found the integration of Internet radio with earlier Denon models to be less than satisfactory, as you were hardly able to tune in stations without menu navigation on the TV. Can anyone tell me how this is today with the AVC-3700H? All I want to do is switch on the amplifier and set the source to Internet radio, and then I want either the last station selected or the same favourite to play (I could do both) without having to select anything else. In other words, I want to be able to simply switch on the radio in the morning and then my favourite station will be on. I don't want to always have to switch on the TV just to be able to select a station. It would also be cool if you could simply zap through the stations with the tune buttons, i.e. if you were already in your own station list after switching it on, without having to wade through a menu. Can someone briefly describe this to me? The manual is quite silent about it, as it is basically an external service, i.e. Denon does not normally provide the channels itself. Nevertheless, they have implemented the integration into the AV receiver and I don't understand why there is so little information about it.

You can select the channels via a smartphone app with Android or Apple. But the last input remains, i.e. if the receiver with the favourite channel is switched off, it will also play the same channel when it is switched on again and you can then also select the next channels via the remote control.

For a receiver that has no DAB+, no FM tuner, I find the price much too high. In my opinion, money was saved in the wrong place. I would therefore not buy this receiver. There are devices from other suppliers that are better, e.g. the Pioneer Elite receivers (ok, it wouldn't have DAB) or devices from Onkyo or Yamaha, where you always have all the options: Internet radio, DAB+ and FM radio, and then you can choose the one that suits you best.

This one, for example, would be equipped with everything, offer 9.2 and are even much cheaper:
