Storing a preset
To store a preset, tune to the radio station you wish to store.
Press the
STORE button: this causes ‘PRESET STORE’ to fl ash
in the display. Now select the preset number you wish to assign
to the station using the preset memory buttons or the ! and
" buttons on the front panel. Press the STORE button again.
Once the preset is stored, the display reverts to show
the station name (if RDS information is transmitted) or its
frequency.
To quit the memory function without storing a preset, leave the
tuner controls untouched for ten seconds. It is also possible
to overwrite a stored station by saving another in its place.
There are thirty presets available for FM use and sixteen for
AM use.
Your presets are retained when the T61 is disconnected from
the mains supply.
Deleting an unused preset
Press the RDS and STORE buttons on the front panel, wait
about three seconds, then select the preset number you want
to delete using the ! and " buttons, followed by the RDS
button.
The display briefl y shows ‘DELETED’ and ‘– –’ is shown in
place of the preset number. You can reactivate a deleted preset
number by storing a station in the normal way.
RDS: Radio Data System
The Arcam T61 supports RDS Programme Service and RDS
Radio Text on FM broadcasts.
When a station carrying RDS information is selected ‘RDS’ lights
up in the display and shortly afterwards the station’s RDS name
(e.g. ‘BBC R3’) is shown.
Press the RDS button to view any RDS text information (if a
station is not transmitting text information, the display briefl y
indicates ‘NO TEXT’ and reverts to show the station name).
Press RDS again to display the station’s frequency.
Pressing RDS a third time returns you to a display of the station
name.
If the RDS button is pressed while tuned to a non-RDS
station, the display shows ‘NO NAME’ for three seconds before
reverting to the default display.
Entering station names manually
Station names can be entered and saved for preset AM
stations, and for FM stations where RDS is not available.
Station names can be up to eight characters long.
First select the band and the preset station you wish to
name. Then press and hold the
RDS button for more than two
seconds. An ‘underscore’ line should appear blinking in the
fi rst position of the frequency display area. Use the up and
down buttons beneath the display to scroll through the available
alphabet, numbers and special characters available until you
reach your wanted letter or character. Press the
TUNING button
to confi rm that character. The ‘underscore’ line will then move
to the next position. Repeat this process to enter the required
name. If you want to edit a character later, use the
TUNING
button to step along and select it, then use the up down keys
as before to change it. When complete, press
STORE to enter
the name into the preset memory.
