OPERATING YOUR T 3 12

See page 18 for T 3 Front Panel and Remote Control layout

Remote Control and Front Panel Operation

Front panel and remote control operation of the T 3 are very similar. However, the remote control handset gives you control of the following functions not available on the front panel:

Discrete On

Discrete Off

Discrete Preset Station Access

Direct Frequency Entry

Choice of Seek (auto tuning), Tune (manual tuning), or Preset (preset selection)

RDS (Radio Data System) Activation

For your convenience, it also enables remote control of the companion Parasound P 3

Preamplifier. The preamplifier buttons are a different color for easy identification.

The remote uses two standard AAA batteries that are included. Make sure you insert the batteries in the direction indicated on the molded battery compartment. When the batteries wear out, please recycle them and replace them only with alkaline batteries.

Turning the T 3 On and Off

You can turn the T 3 on and off with the On-Offbutton on its front panel, with the On and

Off buttons on its remote control handset, or with an external DC source.

Turning the T 3 On

Press the On-Offbutton on the front panel, the On button on the remote control, or apply an external DC voltage.

Turning the T 3 Off

Press the On-Offbutton on the front panel, the Off button on the remote control, or remove the external DC voltage.

YOU SHOULD KNOW

When the T 3 is turned off, there is a faint glow behind its On-Off button and its P logo badge to indicate that AC power is present. When you turn on the T 3, the P badge and the glow behind the On-Off button brightens, and the front panel display lights up to show the last selected station.

Selecting Radio Stations on the T 3

FM-AM Bands

The FM-AMbutton on the front panel and remote control switches between FM or AM bands. Each time you press the FM-AM button it changes from the FM band to the AM band or vice versa.

YOU SHOULD KNOW

The T 3 remembers if you were listening to an FM or AM station before you last turned it off. You don’t need to press the FM-AM button if you want to continue listening to the same band.
