ABOUT RDS

The Radio Data System (RDS) permits sending small amounts of digital
information using conventional FM radio broadcasts. The T 755 supports
two RDS modes, station-name (PS mode) and radio-text (RT mode). 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 illuminate in the T 755's front-panel readout and the readout's
character section will show its station-name (PS) text: "ROCK101", for
example.
Press the front-panel INFO 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 XM RADIO

The T 755 is "XM Ready" which means that with the addition of separately
sold XM Mini-Tuner CPC-9000 and XM Mini-Tuner Home Dock, it has
everything you need to listen to live XM. Everything else is built right in.
Just subscribe to the XM service and your T 755 will be ready to receive XM

ABOUT DAB RADIO

Until now, analogue radio signals such as FM or AM have been subject to
numerous kinds of interference on their way from the transmitter to your
radio. These problems were caused by mountains, high-rise buildings
and weather conditions. With Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB), you can now
receive CD-like quality radio programs without any annoying interference
and signal distortion. DAB broadcasts use digital signals rather than
traditional analogue transmissions, thus providing clear high quality
reception. You get far more robust reception and virtually hiss or crackle
free sound with DAB as long as you are within a good coverage area.
With DAB, the listener can scroll through a list of available stations - then
instantly tune to the station of his choice. There is no need either to
remember channel frequencies. All broadcasts are selected by simply
selecting the service name.
The T 755 makes it possible for you to enjoy listening to DAB broadcasts.
The T 755 has a Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB) module socket on the rear
panel for adding a separately sold and NAD-specified outboard DAB
module – the NAD DAB Adaptor DB 1. All the control software for this
format is included; just plug-in the module and start enjoying the CD-like
quality sound and expansive content selection available with DAB.

CONNECTING THE DAB MODULE

Plug-in the other end of the DIN connector (supplied with your NAD DAB
Adaptor DB 1) from the DAB module's output port into the corresponding
DAB module input socket on the rear panel of the T 755. Select DAB mode
on the T 755 by toggling the [AM/FM/DB] button in the front panel.
NOTES
• Please refer to NAD DAB Adaptor DB 1 installation guide for proper setup
connection of the DB1 with respect to the T 755.
• If there is no NAD DAB Adaptor DB 1 connected, the VFD will show
"Check DAB Tuner".
