>From the command line run:

ITUNE M AO-40 U/S1

or

ITUNE M AO-40 U/S2

It doesne't matter whether or not the InstantTune TSR is loaded or not to
change mode.

Next time you hit 'R' in InstantTrack the last mode selected will be used.

Here's a section from my ITUNE.CFG - I have all four entries four the four
modes:
