OPERATION

USING THE T 175 – AM/FM/DB/iPod

LISTENING TO RADIO

The T 175’s internal AM/FM tuner offers very high quality sound from radio broadcasts. The reception and sound quality will always be dependent to a degree however on the type of antenna(s) used as well as proximity to the broadcast origin, geography and weather conditions.

ABOUT ANTENNAS

The supplied ribbon-wire FM antenna can be connected to the rear-panel FM-antenna input using the included“balun” adapter and should be fully extended to form a“T”. This folded-dipole antenna will usually work best when oriented vertically, with the arms of its“T” fully outstretched and arranged perpendicular to the origin of the desired broadcast. There are no rules however, and experimenting freely with antenna placement and orientation may yield the clearest sound and lowest background noise.

In areas of poor FM reception, an exterior FM antenna can improve performance dramatically. If radio listening is important to you, consider consulting an antenna installation professional to optimize your system.

The supplied AM “loop” antenna will usually provide adequate reception. However, an exterior AM antenna can be used to improve reception. Consult an antenna professional for more information.

ASSEMBLING THE LOOP ANTENNA

1Rotate the outer frame of the antenna.

2Insert the bottom edge of the outer frame into the groove on the stand.

3Extend the antenna cord.

SELECTING THE RADIO

Press the [AM/FM/DB] button on the T 175 front panel or the numeric [+10] of the HTRC 1 while at AMP or TUNER device selector page to select the T 175’s radio mode. Each subsequent press of either key will toggle the unit among AM, FM and XM (or DAB) radio.

TUNING STATIONS

After first pressing “TUNER” at the Device Selector page of HTRC 1 to set the remote to control Tuner

functions, press [TUNE/] on the HTRC 1 – toggle in to perform slow manual search, press and hold to automatically search.

1Press [TUNE/] on the front panel momentarily to step up or down between AM or FM frequencies.

2Press and hold [TUNE/] for more than 2 seconds to search up or down - the T 175’s tuner will stop at the next sufficiently strong signal it encounters.

3Pressing the [TUNE/] during the search process will stop the search.

SETTING RADIO PRESETS

The T 175 can store a mix of your 40 favorite AM, FM and digital radio for immediate recall.

1To store a radio preset, first tune the desired frequency (see above), then press the front panel [MEMORY] key.

2Press the [PRESET / ] keys to select a “Preset Free” number to be assigned.

3Then, press the [MEMORY] key once again to save the station to the particular Preset number and displaying “P_ _” (the two blank spaces will correspond to the preset stored number that could be from “01” to the maximum of “40”) on the VFD.

4Press [PRESET / ] on the front panel to step up or down between presets. Press and hold

[PRESET / ] to “scroll” continuously up or down. The HTRC 1 remote’s [PRESET] keys work similarly.

The Radio Presets must be stored from the front panel. This setup function is not accessible from the

HTRC 1 remote control.

NOTE

The T 175’s Radio Presets are distinct from its “global” Presets that can be used to manage listening and setup modes and levels. See “A/V PRESETS” above.
