Front Panel Display

The large fluorescent display in the center

portion of the RT-02 provides status informa-

tion used in operating the AM/FM receiver

(such as station frequency display, band, preset

memory, RDS information, etc.).

DIMMER Button

Available only on the remote control, this button

selects three display brightness settings:

NORMAL, DIM, or OFF. When the display is

OFF, pressing any button or control will re-

turn it to the NORMAL mode. Press the but-

ton to cycle through the three settings.

NOTE: When the tuner is turned off and back

on, the display reverts to its normal setting.

MEMORY Button

The MEMORY button is used to confirm and

memorize various settings in the setup and

operation of the RT-02, including tuner sta-

tion presets. Its use is described in detail in

the relevant sections below.

Setting Country Mode

The RT-02 has two default modes, one for the

USA and one for Europe. These configure the

unit for differences in local markets, includ-

ing FM tuning intervals, AM tuning intervals,

and differences in the European RDS and

United States RBDS standards. Your unit has

been factory configured to the correct default

mode for the country in which it was purchased.

To switch to the USA default mode,

press and hold the POWER, MEMORY, and

9 buttons for 5 seconds. The word LOADING

will appear in the DISPLAY and the unit will

power up in the USA configuration.

To switch to the European default

mode, press and hold the POWER, MEMORY,

and 0 buttons for more than 5 seconds. The

word LOADING will appear in the DISPLAY

and the unit will power up in the European

configuration.

Basic Tuning Controls

The RT-02 features a digital synthesized AM/

FM tuner with RDS or RBDS capability and 30

station presets. The unit offers a wide range

of tuning options. Here is an overview of the

tuning options (more detailed information is

provided in subsequent sections of this manual):

• Manual frequency tuning lets you

tune up or down to the next station fre-

quency. Set the TUNE/PRESET mode to

TUNE. Turn off AUTO TUNING. Use the

TUNING controls to tune up or down.

• Direct frequency tuning lets you en-

ter the desired station frequency digits. Press

the FREQUENCY DIRECT button on the re-

mote and enter the digits using the NU-

MERIC buttons.

• Automatic frequency search tun-

ing lets you search up or down to find the

next receivable broadcast signal. Set the

TUNE/ PRESET mode to TUNE. Turn on

AUTO TUNING. Use the TUNING controls

to search up or down.

• Memory station preset tuning lets

you directly enter the number of a memo-

rized station preset number. Enter the num-

ber of the memorized preset using the NU-

MERIC buttons.

• Preset scan tuning lets you scan up/

down through the memorized station pre-

sets. Press the PRESET SCAN button to begin

scanning.

• RDS (Europe) or RBDS (USA) tun-

ing provides a range of special tuning and

search features based on data codes en-

coded with the broadcast signal. See the

RDS section of this manual for detailed

information.

NOTE: Three buttons on the remote (ANT

A/B, FM IF NARROW, and ANN ATT) are

not used with the RT-02 tuner.

BAND Button

The BAND button selects whether the tuner will

receive AM or FM broadcast signals. Press the

button to toggle back and forth between AM

and FM. A corresponding indicator will light

at the left portion of the front panel DISPLAY

to confirm your choice. The currently tuned

station frequency will be shown.

TUNING Controls

A pair of buttons, labeled < TUNING > on

the front panel and < TUN/PRESET > on the

remote, serve as the main tuning controls for

the RT-02. You can use either the front panel

or remote buttons; their function is identical.

These controls provides different tuning func-

tions, depending on the mode of operation:

In the FREQUENCY TUNING mode

with AUTO TUNING off, press a TUN-

ING button to manually jump to the next fre-

quency, regardless of whether or not a sta-

tion is broad-casting on that frequency. [See

the TUNE/PRE-SET button and AUTO TUN-

ING button sections for details on changing

the tuning modes.]

In the FREQUENCY TUNING mode

with AUTO TUNING on, press a TUN-

ING button to start auto tuning. The tuner

begins automatically scanning up or down

through the frequencies until the next receiv-

able signal is detected. If this is not the de-

sired station, repeat the automatic tuning pro-

cedure to find the next station. Weak stations

will be skipped during auto tuning. If no re-

ceivable signal is detected, the tuner will re-

vert to the last previously tuned station. [See

the TUNE/PRESET button and AUTO TUNING

button sections for details on changing the

tuning modes.]

In the PRESET TUNING mode, press a

TUNING button to advance to the next memo-

rized station preset. [See the TUNE/PRESET

button section for details on changing the tuning

modes.]

In the RDS PTY search mode, press a

TUNING button to select the desired program

type from the scrolling list in the display. See

the section on RDS tuning for more details. [See

the RDS PTY button section for details.]

NOTE: Several indicators in the front panel

display assist tuning. A large display shows

the tuned frequency and increases or de-

creases during tuning. A signal strength indi-

cator shows the strength of the incoming

signal. A TUNED indicator lights when a suf-

ficiently strong signal is received. A ST indi-

cator lights when a stereo FM signal is

received. In addition, indicators show the

currently selected tuning mode.
