The T 187’s internal AM/FM tuner offers very high quality sound from radiobroadcasts. The reception and sound quality will always be dependent to adegree however on the type of antenna(s) used as well as proximity to thebroadcast origin, geography and weather conditions.ABOUT ANTENNASThe supplied ribbon-wire FM antenna can be connected to the rear panelFM antenna input using the included “balun” adapter and should be fullyextended to form a “T”. This folded-dipole antenna will usually work bestwhen oriented vertically, with the arms of its “T” fully outstretched andarranged perpendicular to the origin of the desired broadcast. There areno “rules” however, and experimenting freely with antenna placement andorientation may yield the clearest sound and lowest background noise.In areas of poor FM reception, an exterior FM antenna can improveperformance dramatically. If radio listening is important to you, considerconsulting 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.IMPORTANT NOTEWhen using the HTR 8 to carry out AM/FM commands, ensure that the%&7*$&4&-&$503JTTFUUPi56/&3wASSEMBLING THE LOOP ANTENNA1 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 A TUNER BANDPress the [AM/FM/DB] button on the HTR 8 while at AMP or TUNER deviceselector page. Each subsequent press will toggle you through AM, FM, XMor DAB band. Stop (release button) at your desired tuner band.TUNING AM/FM STATIONSUpon selecting AM or FM band, use TUNE [ 7/8 ] on the HTR 8 toperform slow manual search; press and hold to automatically search.The front panel [ a/s ] or HTR 8’s [ A/S ] buttons can also be used to tunefor stations.1 Press [ A/S ] momentarily to step up or down between AM or FMfrequencies.2 Press and hold [ A/S ] for more than 2 seconds to search up or down - theT 187’s tuner will stop at the next sufficiently strong signal it encounters.3 Pressing the [ A/S ] during the search process will stop the search.DIRECT TUNINGIf you know your desired station’s frequency allocation, you can tunedirectly to the station.1 Toggle [ENTER] button to switch between “Preset” and “Tune” mode (seethe lower line of the VFD). Select “Tune” mode.2 Using the numeric keys of the remote control, key-in the frequencyallocation of the station. For example, to enter 104.50MHz, press “1”, “0”,“4”, “5” and “0”.STORING PRESETS (AM/FM/XM/DAB)The T 187 can store a mix of your 40 favorite AM, FM and XM (or DAB) radiostations for immediate recall.1 To store a desired AM/FM station to a preset, first tune to the desiredfrequency (see above), then press the front panel’s [MEMORY] button.The VFD will show the next available Preset number - for example,“Preset 4 Free” in the lower line.2 Press the [MEMORY] button again to store the desired frequency on thePreset number shown (“P04” is shown in the right side of the VFD). Yourdesired frequency is now stored in the assigned preset number.NOTEIf there is no more vacant Preset number, you can overwrite an existingPreset number by pressing the [ D/F ] buttons to select the Presetnumber you want to overwrite.DIRECT RECALL OF A PRESET NUMBER (AM/FM/XM/DAB)You can directly recall a desired Preset number.1 Toggle [ENTER] button to switch between “Preset” and “Tune” mode (seethe lower line of the VFD). Select “Preset” mode.2 Using the numeric keys of the remote control, directly key-in yourdesired Preset number. For example, to enter Preset 5, press “5”.DELETING A STORED PRESET (AM/FM/XM/DAB)You can empty a preset by deleting the stored information.1 Select the preset number to be deleted. For example, “P03”.2 Press and hold [MEMORY] button and then press and release [INFO]button – current stored preset setting will be erased(“P03” becomes “P--”).CHOOSING THE TUNER MODEThe front-panel [TUNER MODE] key is a dual-purpose control. In the normalposition (FM MUTE FM STEREO icons on the VFD are illuminated), only thestations with a strong signal can be listened to, and the noise betweenstations is muted.Pressing the [TUNER MODE] button again (FM MUTE FM STEREO icons onthe VFD are extinguished) allows distant and potentially noisy stations to bereceived. Noise is reduced if the FM station signal level is less than the FMStereo threshold (since mono FM is inherently less noise-prone) though atthe sacrifice of the stereo effect.NOTEOne can store the same channel in two preset locations - one with56/&3.0%&0OBOEBOPUIFSXJUI56/&3.0%&0òOPERATIONLISTENING TO AM/FM RADIO31ENGLISHFRANÇAISESPAÑOLITALIANODEUTSCHNEDERLANDSSVENSKAРУССКИЙ |
