Searching for radio stations: AM/FM
Before searching for stations, ensure that the T32 is in
the correct mode by pressing the
5
or
6
buttons on
the front panel (or
M
on the remote control) until ‘AM’
or ‘FM’ is shown on the display.
ere are two methods to search for analogue (AM/FM)
stations:
< If you know the broadcast frequency of the station
you want, turn the Control knob on the front-
panel until the desired frequency is displayed. You
should then hear the required radio station.
< An alternative search method is to press and hold
the
D
or
E
keys on the remote control. Aer a
delay of one second, the T32 begins scanning for
the next available station. On nding a station
with a strong enough signal, the T32 stops
scanning, plays the station and displays the station
details.
If no stations can be received, then your aerial is not
providing an adequate signal. Contact your Arcam
dealer for further information or advice.
Switching to mono
In some weak signal areas it can be benecial to force
the FM tuner to monaural output, as mono requires
a much lower signal strength to produce acceptable
results.
Press
MENU and navigate to ‘FM Mode’, then turn the
Control knob (or
D
or
E
on the remote control) until
‘Mono’ is displayed.
FM Mode
Mono
If the signal strength in your area is adequate, leave this
set to ‘Stereo’.
Note that AM broadcasts are only available in mono output.
RDS
Radio Data System (RDS;
or RBDS in the USA) is a
communications protocol
for sending small packets
of digital information over FM radio broadcasts. RDS
standardises several types of information transmitted,
including station identication.
To toggle this function on or o, press
MENU and
navigate to FM Setup:
FM Setup
RDS Text Enabled
Use the control knob (or
D
and
E
on the remote
control) to toggle between ‘RDS Text Enabled’ and
‘RDS Text Disabled’.
Note that not all stations broadcast RDS information.
Searching for radio stations: DAB
(if tted)
When using the DAB tuner section for the rst time,
you should perform a search to nd the available
services in your area. You may also wish to repeat the
search periodically to discover if any new ensembles (i.e.
groups of services) have gone on air, or if you move the
tuner to a dierent broadcasting region.
e rst time you enter DAB mode, the T32
automatically prompts you to scan for stations. To
manually initiate a re-scan, press
U
and select:
DAB Setup
Scan for stations?
To begin the search, press OK on the front panel or
remote control. e current search frequency is shown
on the display as the search progresses.
A complete search may take three minutes or so to
complete. You cannot cancel a search once started.
If no service is found aer the search, then either your
aerial is inadequate or you may be outside of the area
covered by DAB broadcasts. Contact your Arcam dealer
for further information or advice.
Selecting a service
Turn the Control knob (or press
D
or
E
on the remote
control) to cycle through the available stations and
choose the one you wish to listen to. Press
O
on the
remote control or OK on the front panel within the time-
out period to output the selected station.
Once you have set up your favourite DAB stations as
presets (see page 13), you may also retrieve them quickly
from numbered presets.
Deleting services
Under normal circumstances, you should not need to
delete services from the T32. If you move to a dierent
broadcasting region, however, or if a station ceases
transmission, stations may be shown as available that can
no longer be received.
Individual stations cannot be deleted. To remove stations
from the selection list that can no longer be received, rst
press the
U
button. Turn the navigation control wheel
until the display shows:
DAB Setup
Erase station list?
Press
O
on the remote control or OK on the front panel
to delete all services.
A delete operation should always be followed by a search
for available stations (as described previously) otherwise
no DAB radio stations will be available for selection.
