Searching for radio stations: AM/FM

Before searching for stations, ensure that the T32 is in the correct mode by pressing the 5or 6buttons on the front panel (or Mon the remote control) until ‘AM’ or ‘FM’ is shown on the display.

There are two methods to search for analogue (AM/FM) stations:

<If you know the broadcast frequency of the station you want, turn the Control knob on the front- panel until the desired frequency is displayed. You should then hear the required radio station.

<An alternative search method is to press and hold the D or Ekeys on the remote control. After a delay of one second, the T32 begins scanning for the next available station. On finding a station with a strong enough signal, the T32 stops scanning, plays the station and displays the station details.

If no stations can be received, then your aerial is not providing an adequate signal. Contact your Arcam dealer for further information or advice.

RDS

Radio Data System (RDS;

or RBDS in the USA) is a communications protocol for sending small packets

of digital information over FM radio broadcasts. RDS standardises several types of information transmitted, including station identification.

To toggle this function on or off, press menu and navigate to FM Setup:

FM Setup

RDS Text Enabled

Use the control knob (or Dand Eon the remote control) to toggle between ‘RDS Text Enabled’ and

‘RDS Text Disabled’.

Note that not all stations broadcast RDS information.

Switching to mono

In some weak signal areas it can be beneficial to force the FM tuner to monaural output, as mono requires a much lower signal strength to produce acceptable results.

Press MENU and navigate to ‘FM Mode’, then turn the Control knob (or Dor Eon the remote control) until ‘Mono’ is displayed.

FM Mode

Mono

If the signal strength in your area is adequate, leave this set to ‘Stereo’.

Note that AM broadcasts are only available in mono output.

Searching for radio stations: DAB

(if fitted)

When using the DAB tuner section for the first time, you should perform a search to find the available services in your area. You may also wish to repeat the search periodically to discover if any new ensembles (i.e. groups of services) have gone on air, or if you move the tuner to a different broadcasting region.

The first time you enter DAB mode, the T32 automatically prompts you to scan for stations. To manually initiate a re-scan, press Uand select:

DAB Setup

Scan for stations?

To begin the search, press OK on the front panel or remote control. The current search frequency is shown on the display as the search progresses.

A complete search may take three minutes or so to complete. You cannot cancel a search once started.

If no service is found after the search, then either your aerial is inadequate or you may be outside of the area covered by DAB broadcasts. Contact your Arcam dealer for further information or advice.

Selecting a service

Turn the Control knob (or press Dor Eon the remote control) to cycle through the available stations and choose the one you wish to listen to. Press Oon the remote control or OK on the front panel within the time- out period to output the selected station.

Once you have set up your favourite DAB stations as presets (see page 13), you may also retrieve them quickly from numbered presets.

Deleting services

Under normal circumstances, you should not need to delete services from the T32. If you move to a different broadcasting region, however, or if a station ceases transmission, stations may be shown as available that can no longer be received.

Individual stations cannot be deleted. To remove stations from the selection list that can no longer be received, first press the Ubutton. Turn the navigation control wheel until the display shows:

DAB Setup

Erase station list?

Press Oon the remote control or OK on the front panel to delete all services.

A delete operation should always be followed by a search for available stations (as described previously) otherwise no DAB radio stations will be available for selection.
