Nuvo T2 - Manual (Page 19)

IV. Stand-alone Front Panel Use of the T2
Tuning a Desired channel: 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 AM/FM Settings, Regional
Setup, pg. 14), 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 channel signal. It will stay at
that selection until you tune to a new channel.
Scan Tune Mode: Scan tune works like Seek Tune, except the
tuner will only stay on a channel 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 AM/FM frequencies or XM channels into
specific genre categories. The XM service
automatically allows for genre selection, but for
AM/FM use these categories must be defined 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.23.
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 AM/FM frequency or XM channel and
pressing the Select knob will tune to that channel.

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 FM 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.
