Each subsequent press of either key willtoggle the unit between its FM and AM bands.TUNING STTUNING STTUNING STTUNING STTUNING STAAAAATIONSTIONSTIONSTIONSTIONSPress SEARCHon the front panel momentarily to step up or down between FM or AM frequencies.Press and hold SEARCHfor more than 2 seconds to search up or down; the T 773’s tuner will stop atthe next sufficiently strong signal it encounters. See “Front Panel,” above. Pressing the SEARCHkeysmomentarily during the search process will stop the search.After first pressing amber [TUNER] mode-select key on the HTR 2 to set the remote to control radiofunctions, press [TUNE DOWN] or [TUNE UP] on the HTR 2 (yellow lettering); hold in to perform slow manualsearch, press momentarily to automatically search (see above).SETTING RADIO PRESETSSETTING RADIO PRESETSSETTING RADIO PRESETSSETTING RADIO PRESETSSETTING RADIO PRESETSThe T 773 can store as many as 40 of your favorite radio stations for immediate recall; 30 FM stations and10 AM. To store a radio preset, first tune the desired frequency (see above), then press the front panelMEMORY key. Press the PRESETkey to select the preset number to be assigned. Then press theMEMORY key once again. The STORED message will appear in the VFL Display.NOTE: The Radio Presets must be stored from the front panel; this setup function is not accessible from theHTR 2 remote.NOTE: The T 773’s Radio Presets are distinct from its “global” Presets that can be used to manage listeningand setup modes and levels. See “Using Presets,” above.SELECTING RADIO PRESETSSELECTING RADIO PRESETSSELECTING RADIO PRESETSSELECTING RADIO PRESETSSELECTING RADIO PRESETSPress PRESETon the front panel to step up or down between presets; press and hold PRESETto“scroll” continuously up or down. The HTR 2 remote’s [PRESET/] keys work similarly.CHOOSING THE FM MUTE / MODECHOOSING THE FM MUTE / MODECHOOSING THE FM MUTE / MODECHOOSING THE FM MUTE / MODECHOOSING THE FM MUTE / MODEThe front-panel FM MUTE/Mode key is a dual-purpose control. First, it “toggles” the T 773 between stereomute and unmated stereo reception (assuming that a multiplex-stereo station of sufficient strength istuned). FM Mute eliminates noise from “empty” FM frequencies but also mutes very weak or distantstations; it also causes the search function to skip them. Toggling off the FM Mute will result in reducednoise if the FM station signal level is less than the FM Stereo threshold (since mono FM is inherently lessnoise-prone), though at the sacrifice of the stereo effect.NOTE: The one can store the same channel in two preset locations; one with FM Mute On, and with FMMute Off.NOTE: Toggling between FM Mute on or off also defeats the T 773’s FM muting circuit. If you wish to listento a particularly weak or distant broadcast, toggle off the FM Mute and tune it manually.ABOUT RDSABOUT RDSABOUT RDSABOUT RDSABOUT RDSThe Radio Data System (RDS) permits compatible FM A/V Receiverss to display text determined by thebroadcaster. The T 773 supports two RDS modes, station-name (PS mode) and radio-text (RT mode).However, not every FM station incorporates RDS in its broadcast signal; in most areas you will find from oneto several RDS-enabled stations, but it is by no means impossible that your favorite stations will not bebroadcasting RDS data.VIEW RDS TEXTVIEW RDS TEXTVIEW RDS TEXTVIEW RDS TEXTVIEW RDS TEXTWhen an RDS-enabled FM broadcast is tuned, after a brief delay the “RDS” symbol will light in the T 773’sfront-panel readout and the readout’s character section will show its station-name (PS) text: “ROCK101,”for example. Press the front-panel DISPLAY 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 USER NAMESABOUT USER NAMESABOUT USER NAMESABOUT USER NAMESABOUT USER NAMESYou can assign an eight character “User Name” to each radio preset, which will show in the front-panelreadout whenever that preset is recalled.ENTERING USER NAMESENTERING USER NAMESENTERING USER NAMESENTERING USER NAMESENTERING USER NAMESFor example, to name a radio preset “NEWS”: recall the desired radio preset, and then press the front-panelMEMORY key once, then within five (5) seconds, press the front-panel DISPLAY key; the readout shows ablinking box. Use the SEARCHkeys to select the first character of the name (“N” from the alphabeticlist; press either PRESETkey to select the character and move to the next position. Repeat this processfor each character in sequence; press the MEMORY key again to store the User Name and exit the text-entrymode.USING THE T 773
