ABOUT ANTENNAS

ABOUT ANTENNAS ABOUT ANTENNAS ABOUT ANTENNAS ABOUT ANTENNAS
The supplied ribbon-wire FM antenna can be connected to the rear-panel FM-antenna input using the
'balun' included adapter, and should be fully extended to form a "T". This folded-dipole antenna will usually
work best oriented vertically, with the arms of its "T" full outstretched and arranged perpendicular to the
origin of the desired broadcast. There are no 'rules,' however, and experimenting freely with antenna
placement and orientation may yield the clearest sound and lowest background noise. In areas of poor FM
reception, an exterior FM antenna can improve performance dramatically. If radio listening is important to
you, consider consulting an antenna installation professional to optimize your system.
The supplied AM 'loop' antenna will usually provide adequate reception. However, an exterior AM antenna
can be used to improve reception; consult an antenna professional for more information.

SELECTING THE RADIO

Press the AM/FM key on the T 752 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.

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 752's tuner will stop at
the next sufficiently strong signal it encounters. See "Front Panel," above. Pressing the SEARCH
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 752 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
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 752'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.

The front-panel FM MUTE/Mode key is a dual-purpose control. First, it "toggles" the T 752 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: Toggling between FM Mute on or off also defeats the T 752'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

ABOUT RDS ABOUT RDS ABOUT RDS ABOUT RDS
The Radio Data System (RDS) permits compatible FM receivers to display text determined by the broadcaster.
The T 752 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.

When an RDS-enabled FM broadcast is tuned, after a brief delay the "RDS" symbol will light in the T 752'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.
