USING THE T 753

SELECTING THE RADIO

Press the AM/FM key on the T 753 front panel, the HTR 2’s orange [TUNER] (the numeric 9 key), or the yellow [AM] and [FM] keys to select the receiver’s radio mode. Each subsequent press of either key will toggle the unit between its FM and AM bands.

TUNING STATIONS

Press SEARCH

on the front panel momentarily to step up or down between FM or AM frequencies.

Press and hold SEARCH

for more than 2 seconds to search up or down; the T 753’s tuner will stop at

the next sufficiently strong signal it encounters. See “Front Panel,” above. Pressing the SEARCH

keys

momentarily during the search process will stop the search.

 

After first pressing amber [TUNER] mode-select key on the HTR 2 to set the remote to control radio functions, press [TUNE DOWN] or [TUNE UP] on the HTR 2 (yellow lettering); hold in to perform slow manual search, press momentarily to automatically search (see above).

SETTING RADIO PRESETS

The T 753 can store as many as 40 of your favorite radio stations for immediate recall; 30 FM stations and 10 AM. To store a radio preset, first tune the desired frequency (see above), then press the front panel

MEMORY key. Press the PRESET key to select the preset number to be assigned. Then press the MEMORY key once again. The STORED message will appear in the VFL Display.

NOTE: The Radio Presets must be stored from the front panel; this setup function is not accessible from the

HTR 2 remote.

NOTE: The T 753’s Radio Presets are distinct from its “global” Presets that can be used to manage listening and setup modes and levels. See “Using Presets,” above.

SELECTING RADIO PRESETS

Press PRESET

on the front panel to step up or down between presets; press and hold PRESET

to

“scroll” continuously up or down. The HTR 2 remote’s [PRESET / ] keys work similarly.

 

CHOOSING THE FM MUTE / MODE

The front-panel FM MUTE/Mode key is a dual-purpose control. First, it “toggles” the T 753 between stereo mute and unmated stereo reception (assuming that a multiplex-stereo station of sufficient strength is tuned). FM Mute eliminates noise from “empty” FM frequencies but also mutes very weak or distant stations; it also causes the search function to skip them. Toggling off the FM Mute will result in reduced noise 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: The one can store the same channel in two preset locations; one with FM Mute On, and with FM

Mute Off.

NOTE: Toggling between FM Mute on or off also defeats the T 753’s FM muting circuit. If you wish to listen to a particularly weak or distant broadcast, toggle off the FM Mute and tune it manually.

ABOUT RDS

The Radio Data System (RDS) permits compatible FM receivers to display text determined by the broadcaster. The T 753 supports two RDS modes, station-name (PS mode) and radio-text (RT mode). However, 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 light in the T 753’s front-panel readout and the readout’s character section will show its station-name (PS) text: “ROCK101,” for example. Press the front-panel DISPLAY 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 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

For example, to name a radio preset “NEWS”: recall the desired radio preset, and then press the front-panel

MEMORY key once, then within five (5) seconds, press the front-panel DISPLAY key; the readout shows a

blinking box. Use the SEARCH

keys to select the first character of the name (“N” from the alphabetic

list; press either PRESET

key to select the character and move to the next position. Repeat this process

for each character in sequence; press the MEMORY key again to store the User Name and exit the text-entry mode.
