Actual use of these data fields is not regulated, and they may vary significantly in content between stations. If you choose not to have RDS information displayed, pressing the “Display” button will then indicate “RDS receive OFF”. In this state, Stereo indication and a signal strength indicator will replace the PSN field on the top line, and only the station frequency will be displayed on a connected zone's Display Pad. Pressing the button again will restore RDS and display “RDS receive ON.” Each press of the “Display” button toggles between on and off.
Signal Strength/Stereo Indicator
The signal strength indicator responds to the field strength of the received carrier signal, fig. 18. This indicator has seven discrete levels, with a single point at the bottom of the character space indicating a signal just detectable by the tuner, and a very strong signal indicated by four lines of increasing length above 3 dots. Stereo indication is also provided when the tuner is successfully decoding FM Multiplex stereo stations. The field will be blank if stereo reception is not possible due to weak signal conditions or if the station is broadcasting in monaural (mono). The field will display MONO if Force Mono is enabled from the MENU. This indicator and Stereo lock information will be displayed upon tuning to a new station. If RDS Receive is ON (see previous section), then the indicator and Stereo lock information will be displayed momentarily until valid RDS PSN data has been received; then it will be replaced by that data.
Using the Memory Feature
Memory is used to store a specific display for future reference. This is useful for referencing specific RDS information later. It can be used for viewing a song title and artist that you might need to recall at a later date. By pressing the “Memory” button with a single tap, whatever information is scrolling on the display at that time will automatically be saved in the first memory position.
Pressing and holding the Memory button puts the T2 in memory recall mode. Turning the Select knob will scroll up through the saved displays, starting with the most recently saved. The T2 has the ability to save up to 10 displays. When a new display is saved, it will automatically place that information in the first slot, and bump all previously saved displays down one. Display number 10 will automatically drop off the list, fig. 19.
Source Switching
Pushing the “Source” button scrolls between AM, FM, WX (Weather Band), and Auxiliary (Aux.) modes. The auxiliary mode is optional and must be turned on through the T2 Configuration software (see
Configuration software, advanced settings, pg. ) or
through the advanced settings menu accessed at the
front panel (see Front Panel Menu Controls).
