STORING A PRESET ENTERING STATION NAMES MANUALLY

To store a preset, tune to the radio station you wish to store. Press the STORE button: this causes ‘PRESET STORE’ to flash in the display. Now select the preset number you wish to assign to the station using the preset memory buttons or the 5 and 6 buttons on the front panel. Press the STORE button again.

Once the preset is stored, the display reverts to show the station name (if RDS information is transmitted) or its frequency.

To quit the memory function without storing a preset, leave the tuner controls untouched for ten seconds. It is also possible to overwrite a stored station by saving another in its place. There are thirty presets available for FM use and sixteen for AM use.

Your presets are retained when the T31 is disconnected from the mains supply.

DELETING AN UNUSED PRESET

Press the RDS and STORE buttons on the front panel, wait about three seconds, then select the preset number you want to delete using the 5and 6buttons, followed by the RDS button.

The display briefly shows ‘DELETED’ and ‘– –’ is shown in place of the preset number.You can reactivate a deleted preset number by storing a station in the normal way.

RDS: RADIO DATA SYSTEM

The Arcam T31 supports RDS Programme Service and RDS Radio Text on FM broadcasts.

When a station carrying RDS information is selected ‘RDS’ lights up in the display and shortly afterwards the station’s RDS name (e.g. ‘BBC R3’) is shown.

Press the RDS button to view any RDS text information (if a station is not transmitting text information, the display briefly indicates ‘NO TEXT’ and reverts to show the station name).

Press RDS again to display the station’s frequency.

Pressing RDS a third time returns you to a display of the station name.

If the RDS button is pressed while tuned to a non-RDS station, the display shows ‘NO NAME’ for three seconds before reverting to the

default display.

Station names can be entered and saved for preset AM stations, and for FM stations where RDS is not available. Station names can be up to eight characters long.

First select the band and the preset station you wish to name. Then press and hold the RDS button for more than two seconds. An ‘underscore’ line should appear blinking in the first position of the frequency display area. Use the 5 and 6 buttons beneath the display to scroll through the available alphabet, numbers and special characters available until you reach your wanted letter or character. Press the TUNING button to confirm that character. The ‘underscore’ line will then move to the next position. Repeat this process to enter the required name. If you want to edit a character later, use the TUNING button to step along and select it, then use the 5and 6 keys as before to change it.When complete, press STORE to enter the name into the preset memory.
