RT-955 AM/FM Stereo Tuner

NOTE

: On the USA version only, pressing

1 in the FM mode will enter 10 as the

digit in the frequency display. On the Eu-

ropean version, it is necessary to press 1

and then 0 to enter 10. For US FM sta-

tions, press only one digit following the

decimal point as shown in the first ex-

ample following. For European FM sta-

tions, press two digits after the decimal

point as shown in the second example.

EXAMPLES:

(USA FM) 87.50MHz Press 8>7>5

(Europe FM) 87.50MHz Press 8>7>5>0

(all AM) 1610kHz Press 1>6>1>0

If no frequency is entered within 5 sec-

onds, the tuner will cancel FREQUENCY

DIRECT tuning mode and revert to the last

previously tuned station.

AUTO TUNING Button

The AUTO TUNING button toggles between

the frequency search tuning feature and

manual frequency tuning. When using the

TUNING controls on the front panel or re-

mote in AUTO TUNING mode, the tuner will

begin automatically scanning up or down

through the frequencies until the next receiv-

able broadcast signal is detected. If this is

not the desired station, use the TUNING

controls again to find the next station. Weak

stations will be skipped during auto tuning.

If no receivable signal is detected, the tuner

will revert to the previously tuned station.

To toggle between FREQUENCY TUNING

mode and AUTO TUNING mode, press the

AUTO TUNING button. An AUTO indica-

tor will appear in the display.

NOTE

: AUTO TUNING mode is disengaged

when the TUNE/PRESET button is set to

PRESET tuning mode. See the following sec-

tion.

TUNE/PRESET Button

The TUNE/PRESET button toggles between

FREQUENCY TUNING mode (the TUNING

controls advance to the next station fre-

quency) and PRESET TUNING mode (the

TUNING controls advance to the next memo-

rized station preset). To toggle between the

two modes, press the TUNE/PRESET button.

A PRESET indicator in the front panel DIS-

PLAY will light when the PRESET mode is ac-

tive.

NOTE

: AUTO TUNING mode is disengaged

when the TUNE/PRESET button is set to

PRESET tuning mode.

PRESET SCAN Button

This button activates a preset scanning fea-

ture. When you press the button, the tuner

will automatically scan through all memo-

rized station presets, playing each for five

seconds before moving to the next. To stop

the station scanning on the desired station

preset, press the button again.

NOTE

: If a PRESET station is currently tuned

when the PRESET SCAN button is pressed,

scanning will start with the next higher pre-

set number and continue through all preset

stations, stopping on the initial preset. If a

PRESET station is not currently tuned when

the button is pressed, scanning will start

from PRESET 1 and continue to PRESET 30.

RDS and RBDS Broadcast

Reception

The Rotel RT-955 is equipped with RDS (Radio

Data Systems) reception capabilities for

Europe and RBDS (Radio Broadcast Data

Service) capabilities for the United States.

These broadcast systems provide additional

functionality to FM radio reception by trans-

mitting encoded information along with the

radio signal. This signal is decoded by an

RDS or RBDS receiver and can provide a

range of informational features including:

1. a display of the station’s identifying name

(e.g. BBC1)

2. a display of the station’s program con-

tent (e.g. ROCK or NEWS)

3. traffic information broadcasts

4. a scrolling text display for announcements

or information

In addition, RDS provides several advanced

search features including:

1. the ability to search for a station with the

desired program content (PTY)

2. the ability to search for traffic informa-

tion (TP)

3. the ability to automatically search stations

broadcasting special traffic announce-

ments (TA).

RDS broadcasting has been widely available

in many European markets for years. There

are a large number of RDS stations and most

users will be familiar with the features and

operation. In the USA, implementation of the

RBDS system is more recent. Fewer stations

are currently broadcasting RBDS signals and

the features may be less familiar to many

users. Consult your authorized Rotel dealer

for more information on RDS or RBDS broad-

casting in your market.

NOTE

: The RDS and RBDS features are en-

tirely dependent on the broadcaster send-

ing properly encoded signals. Thus, they

will only be available in markets where RDS

or RBDS is currently implemented and where

stations are broadcasting these data sig-

nals. If there are no RDS or RBDS stations,

the RT-955 will function as a standard ra-

dio receiver.
