CHOOSING THE TUNER MODE

The front-panel ‘TUNER MODE’ key is a dual-purpose control. In the normal 
position, FM Mute FM Stereo icons on the VFD are illuminated, only the 
stations with a strong signal can be listened to, and the noise between 
stations is muted. 
Pressing the ‘TUNER MODE’ button again (FM Mute FM Stereo icons on the 
VFD are extinguished) allows distant and potentially noisy stations to be 
received. Noise is reduced if the FM station signal level is less than the FM 
Stereo threshold (since mono FM is inherently less noise-prone) though at 
the sacrifice of the stereo effect.

NOTE

 

One can store the same channel in two preset locations - one with 
TUNER MODE On and another with TUNER MODE Off. 

 ABOUT USER NAMES

You can assign an eight character “User Name” to each radio preset, which 
will show in the front-panel readout whenever that preset is recalled. 

ENTERING USER NAMES

To name a radio preset “NEWS,” follow the procedure as below (The buttons 
mentioned apply to the front panel’s buttons. The applicable HTRC 1 keys 
also execute the same functions as described).

Recall the desired radio preset.

Then, press the ‘MEMORY’ button once and then within five (5) seconds, 
press the ‘INFO’ button - the readout shows a blinking box. 

Use the ‘PRESET 

 / 

 ‘ buttons to select the first character of the 

name (“N” from the alphabetical list).

Press ‘TUNE 

’ button to select the character and correspondingly 

move forward to the next position. (Press TUNE 

 to go back to the 

previous character). Repeat this process for each character in sequence.

Press the MEMORY key again to store the User Name and exit the text-
entry mode.

ABOUT RDS

The Radio Data System (RDS) permits compatible FM tuners or receivers to 
display text determined by the broadcaster. The T 175 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 one to several RDS-enabled stations, but it is by no means 
impossible that your favorite stations will not be broadcasting RDS data.

VIEW RDS TEXT

When an RDS-enabled FM broadcast is tuned, after a brief delay the “RDS” 
symbol will illuminate in the T 175’s front-panel readout and the readout’s 
character section will show its station-name (PS) text: “ROCK101,”for 
example. 

Press the front-panel INFO 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.

LISTENING TO XM RADIO

The T 175 is “XM Ready” which means that with the addition of separately sold 
XM Mini-Tuner CPC-9000 and XM Mini-Tuner Home Dock, it has everything you 
need to listen to live XM. Everything else is built right in. Just subscribe to the 
XM service and your T 175 will be ready to receive XM content.

NOTES 

•  When using the HTRC 1 to carry out XM commands, ensure that the 

DEVICE SELECTOR is set to “TUNER”.

•  In XM mode and with DEVICE SELECTOR set to “TUNER”, HTRC 1’s [FM 

MUTE] button has the same function as that of the front panel’s [TUNER 
MODE] button.

•  Check with your NAD audio specialist for other versions of  XM Mini-

Tuner compatible with T 175.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

 

Unless otherwise specifically stated, navigating or accessing XM functions 
can be undertaken by using either the HTRC 1 remote control or the front 
panel buttons.  If the control button or icon button being referred to is 
available on the HTRC 1 remote control and front panel, then the reference 
to said button is applicable to both the HTRC 1 remote control and front 
panel. The same condition applies to their equivalent buttons.

CONNECTING THE XM ANTENNA 

Plug the end of the XM antenna into the corresponding XM antenna 
port on the rear panel of the T 175. 

Press and hold “TUNER MODE” button on the front panel to check the 
current XM channel’s signal strength as shown in the VFD and OSD. 
Press “TUNER MODE” again to exit signal strength check.

Refer also to your XM radio’s guide on how to install the XM antenna for 
optimum signal reception.

TUNING STATIONS

There are three ways to tune to the XM channel you wish to listen. Make 
sure to set your HTRC 1’s Device Selector to “TUNER” prior to undertaking 
the following tuning options. The 

 buttons refer to the 

corresponding keys on the HTRC 1. The same keys correspond to the front 
panel navigation buttons “PRESET 

 / PRESET 

 / TUNE 

 / TUNE 

.”

1  Manual Tuning :

 Toggle the 

 buttons to step up or down each 

available XM channel. Press and hold 

 for faster scanning of XM 

channels. The HTRC 1 keys “TUNE 

 / TUNE 

” will likewise execute 

these same functions.

2  Direct Channel Call :

 Using the numeric keypads of the HTRC 1, 

key-in directly the desired available channel number and it will be 
automatically tuned.

3  Category :

 Toggle “TUNER MODE” until “CAT

XM

” and a corresponding 

category is displayed on the VFD. “CAT

XM

” stands for the categories 

channels are grouped into – i.e., Country, Rock, Jazz & Blues, etc. Toggle 

 buttons to step up or down the available categories.

After selecting the desired category, use the same steps as that of 
XM Manual Tuning. Tuning will only be limited to within the selected 
category. Toggle the 

 buttons to choose another category and 

then tune again.
