III. Stand-alone Front Panel Use of the T2

Tuning a Desired Station: Pressing the Select knob cycles
through the tuning modes.
Step Tune Mode: Each of the T2's tuners default to step tune

mode. When the Select knob is turned clockwise
(CW), the tuner will tune within the preset tuning
standard (see Advanced Menu Settings, Regional
Setup, pg. 12),
and counter clockwise (CCW) to tune
down.

Seek Tune Mode: The seek tunes up when the Select knob is

turned CW and down when the Select knob is turned
CCW. In seek tune mode, the tuner will automatically
stop at the next available station signal. It will stay at
that selection until you tune to a new station.

Scan Tune Mode: Scan tune works like Seek Tune, except the

tuner will only stay on a station for 5 seconds and then
continue to the next signal. To retain a selection, press
the Select knob before the tuner resumes scanning for
frequencies.

Tuning by Categories: A unique feature is the ability to
group station frequencies into specific genre
categories. The desired frequencies for each category
must be assigned in the T2 Configurator software (see
NV-T2DF Configurator software, Assigning
Categories).
Once you have decided on the categories
you want to use and assigned specific station
frequencies, you will always have that template for
future use. To enter Category tuning, press the
“Category up or down

keys.” This will scroll to the

next assigned category with each push. When a
category is selected, turning the Select knob will step
through all the frequencies within that category, fig.
17.

Direct Numeric Tuning: The T2 allows for direct numeric entry.

To get to the Direct mode, press the PRE/DIR button
until “DIRECT TUNE” appears on the display. Then
pressing the numeric buttons in sequence for the
desired frequency and pressing the Select knob will
tune to that station.

Preset Tuning: The T2 is able to store 10 preset
stations in each of up to 10 banks of presets. This
allows a total of 100 presets. The factory default is
two banks of presets, but more banks can be added or
deleted in the T2 Configurator software. Saving a
preset is done simply by tuning to a desired station
and pressing and holding one of the numeric buttons
until the display reads “Preset Saved.” Once a preset
is saved, banks of presets are accessed by pressing
the PRE/DIR button, and then pressing the
appropriate number button accesses the desired
preset.

Radio Data Service (RDS) Information and Display Modes

The Radio Data Service is a format broadcasters can
use to send artist and song information with their
broadcast. Although this service is gaining in
popularity, all stations do not yet use it. If a station
is broadcasting RDS, the T2 will automatically scroll
what is being received. The Program Status Name
(PSN) data field (up to 8 characters) will appear in
the upper right of the display. This was intended by
RDS system architects to display a station name,
such as a call sign. The Radiotext field (up to 64
characters) will be displayed on the second line and
will scroll if it exceeds 16 characters. The Radiotext
message will be displayed on Display Pads in an
integrated Nuvo Concerto system. Radiotext was
intended for display of artist and title information.
