Mark,

In AUTO the computer wanders around up-dating the IRS position with VOR/DME.
In MANUAL the pilot controls the VOR selection.

If I remember, some planes would show blank if the computer was doing the switching. The information on which VOR was being tuned could be seen in the FMS display. I think some models would show info in both places, but it's been a while.
