OPERATION

USING THE T 175 – AM/FM/DB/iPod

CHOOSING THE TUNER MODE

The front-panel [TUNER MODE] key is a dual-purpose control. In the normal position, FM Mute FM Stereo icons on the VFD are illuminated, only the stations with a strong signal can be listened to, and the noise between stations is muted.

Pressing the [TUNER MODE] button again (FM Mute FM Stereo icons on the VFD are extinguished) allows distant and potentially noisy stations to be received. Noise is reduced if the FM station signal level is less than the FM Stereo threshold (since mono FM is inherently less noise-prone) though at the sacrifice of the stereo effect.

NOTE

One can store the same channel in two preset locations - one with TUNER MODE On and another with TUNER MODE Off.

ABOUT USER NAMES

You can assign an eight character “User Name” to each radio preset, which will show in the front-panel readout whenever that preset is recalled.

ENTERING USER NAMES

To name a radio preset “NEWS,” follow the procedure as below (The buttons mentioned apply to the front panel’s buttons. The applicable HTRC 1 keys also execute the same functions as described).

1Recall the desired radio preset.

2Then, press the [MEMORY] button once and then within five (5) seconds, press the [INFO] button - the readout shows a blinking box.

3	Use the [PRESET		/	] buttons to select the first character of the
	name (“N” from the alphabetical list).
4	Press [TUNE	] button to select the character and correspondingly
	move forward to the next position. (Press [TUNE				] to go back to the
	previous character). Repeat this process for each character in sequence.

5Press the MEMORY key again to store the User Name and exit the text- entry mode.

ABOUT RDS

The Radio Data System (RDS) permits sending small amounts of digital information using conventional FM radio broadcasts. The T 175 supports two RDS modes, station-name (PS mode) and radio-text (RT mode). Not every FM station incorporates RDS in its broadcast signal. In most areas you will find from one to several RDS-enabled stations, but it is by no means impossible that your favorite stations will not be broadcasting RDS data.

VIEW RDS TEXT

When an RDS-enabled FM broadcast is tuned, after a brief delay the “RDS” symbol will illuminate in the T 175’s front-panel readout and the readout’s character section will show its station-name (PS) text: “ROCK101”, for example.

Press the front-panel INFO key to toggle the readout between this and the station’s radio-text (RT) readout, if any, which might scroll song- or artist- name, or any other text of the station’s choosing.

ABOUT XM RADIO
