OPERATION
USING THE T 755 – AM/FM/DB/iPod
LISTENING TO RADIO
The T 755's internal AM/FM tuner offers very high quality sound from radio
broadcasts. The reception and sound quality will always be dependent to a
degree however on the type of antenna(s) used as well as proximity to the
broadcast origin, geography and weather conditions.
ABOUT ANTENNAS
The supplied ribbon-wire FM antenna can be connected to the rear-panel FM-
antenna input using the included "balun" adapter and should be fully extended
to form a "T". This folded-dipole antenna will usually work best when oriented
vertically, with the arms of its "T" fully 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.
ASSEMBLING THE LOOP ANTENNA
1 Rotate the outer frame of the antenna.
2 Insert the bottom edge of the outer frame into the groove on the stand.
3 Extend the antenna cord.
SELECTING THE RADIO
Press the [AM/FM/DB] button on the T 755 front panel or the numeric [+10]
of the HTR 3 while at AMP or TUNER device selector page to select the
T 755's radio mode. Each subsequent press of either key will toggle the unit
among AM, FM and XM (or DAB) radio.
TUNING STATIONS
After first pressing [TUNER] at the Device Selector page of HTR 3 to set the
remote to control Tuner functions, press [TUNE
– toggle in to perform slow manual search, press and hold to automatically
search.
1 Press [TUNE
/
] on the front panel momentarily to step up or
down between AM or FM frequencies.
2 Press and hold [TUNE
/
] for more than 2 seconds to search up
or down - the T 755's tuner will stop at the next sufficiently strong signal
it encounters.
3 Pressing the [TUNE
/
] during the search process will stop the
search.

SETTING RADIO PRESETS
The T 755 can store a mix of your 40 favorite AM, FM and digital radio for
immediate recall.
1 To store a radio preset, first tune the desired frequency (see above), then
press the front panel [MEMORY] key.
2 Press the [PRESET
assigned.
3 Then, press the [MEMORY] key once again to save the station to the
particular Preset number and displaying "P_ _" (the two blank spaces
will correspond to the preset stored number that could be from "01" to
the maximum of "40") on the VFD.
4 Press [PRESET
between presets. Press and hold [PRESET
continuously up or down. The HTR 3 remote's "PRESET" keys work
similarly.
The Radio Presets must be stored from the front panel. This setup function
is not accessible from the HTR 3 remote control.
NOTE
The T 755's Radio Presets are distinct from its "global" Presets that can
be used to manage listening and setup modes and levels. See "A/V
PRESETS" above.
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
/
] on the HTR 3
mentioned apply to the front panel's buttons. The applicable HTR 3 keys
also execute the same functions as described).
1 Recall the desired radio preset.
2 Then, 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
name ("N" from the alphabetical list).
4 Press [TUNE
move forward to the next position. (Press [TUNE

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