5. Audio Output: This is a second stereo output designed to work with a tip, ring, sleeve 3.5mm stereo connection.
6. IR Pass-Thru: This 3.5mm connection is used to link IR control between two or more components used in the same installation.
7. IR Input: The single IR Input accepts a mono 3.5mm mono patch cable for receiving IR information from an external IR receiver without the use of an external IR emitter.
8. NuVoNet : This RJ45 connection is used with one of the Peripheral Device inputs on the Concerto EZ Port (see pg. 20) to enable direct one-to-one communication with the Concerto Display Pads.
10. RS232: This 9-pin DB9 connection allows serial communication with an external RS232 system. This may also be used for downloading a configuration from your computer to the internal flash memory of the tuner.
11. AC Power: This connects the T2 with an AC power source. When plugged into a live AC outlet the blue power LED (Light Emitting Diode) on the T2's front panel will remain lit. When neither tuner is on, the T2 is in standby mode and draws less than 2 watts of power. The T2 power supply is universal and will operate at a voltage range from 110V to 240V.

2. Scroll Buttons: These buttons are the equivalent of turning the front panel Select knob. The top button is the equivalent of turning the knob clockwise, and the bottom button is the equivalent of counterclockwise.
3. Enter: This button is the equivalent of pushing the Select knob on the front panel (see Front Panel #7).
4. Seek Up and Down: The seek buttons will tune to the next available station with the required signal strength for AM and FM use. The signal threshold can be adjusted higher or lower using the T2 Configurator software (see pg. 25), or through the advanced menu options on the front panel (see pg. 14).
5. Tune Up and Down: The tune function steps through each station frequency regardless of the frequency signal strength.
6. Category Up and Down: The category buttons step through each of the defined genre categories. Categories must be defined in the advanced settings of the T2 Configurator software for AM/FM use (see pg. 26).
7. Pre/Dir: The T2 allows up to 10 preset stations in each of up to 10 preset banks. This button scrolls through each of the defined banks and then to direct tuning. In direct tuning, you can use the numeric buttons to access a specific station frequency or XM channel number. Presets are selected by a single push of numeric button 0-9.

I. Installing the NV-T2 Dual Tuner
Stereo Audio Connections
Each tuner has two audio output jacks. One is a stereo RCA connection, and the other is a stereo 3.5mm mini. The RCA output is an individual left and right channel connection made with a standard RCA cable. The other end is connected to the corresponding audio input on the back panel of the audio amplifier. An example of this is one of the source inputs on the back panel of a NuV0 audio distribution system, fig. 1.
The 3.5mm stereo output labeled “AUDIO OUTPUT” is also available for system connection. Compatible cables are available with the male mini connection on each end, or with a stereo RCA connection on one end, fig. 2.

Direct IR Control
The T2 is designed for IR control via IR received by an audio distribution system. In the NuVo Simplese or Essentia audio distribution systems, the IR emitter outputs act as a repeater to IR signals incident on the system keypads. The T2's wired IR connector is a 3.5mm two-conductor (mono) jack labeled “IR INPUT.” Using a mono mini-to-mini patch cable, connect the IR emitter output of a Simplese or Essentia Main Unit to the IR INPUT on the T2. The two tuners in the T2 respond to separate IR codes, so the direct IR input replaces the need for external IR emitters placed over the IR receiver windows on the front of the unit, fig. 3. This connection is not used when using the Concerto NuVoNet system. The NuVo Essentia and Simplese systems are used for example, but the T2 is compatible with any audio system that is capable of repeating IR.

IR Pass-Thru
The mini jack labeled “IR pass-thru" mini connection is used for connecting forwarded IR signals to an audio component connected to the auxiliary audio input.
Fig . 4
Using the Aux. Input
The T2 is equipped with an auxiliary audio input labeled “AUX IN.” This will accept an audio signal from an external component. This is most useful as an additional local source, or an additional source in a multi-zone audio system.
The auxiliary input is a stereo RCA connection and requires a standard RCA cable for the connection, fig. 4. This must be enabled through the advanced menu, which is accessed through the “Select Knob” on the face of the
T2 (see Menu Controls, AUX Input pg. 14) or in the T2 Configurator software (see Using the T2 Configurator Software pg. 22). An additional advanced feature is the
ability to set the gain of the auxiliary signal to match the output signal level of the T2.
Once the auxiliary input is enabled, it is selected from the remote using the “AUX” button, fig. 5, or by pressing the “Source” button for either Tuner A or Tuner B on the face of the T2 and stepping through FM, AM, and WX (Weather Band) to Aux. On the XM models the source button simply toggles between XM reception and the auxiliary input, fig. 6.

AM/FM Antenna Input
The T2 ships with a proprietary active AM/FM antenna. This antenna is designed to work only with the NuVo T2 series AM/FM tuners. It can be located up to 200 feet from the tuner location, and we recommend 75-ohm RG 6 coaxial cable with a standard F style connector on each end. Simply attach the cable to the connector at the bottom of the antenna, and into the “Antenna Input” on the T2, fig. 7. Once connected, the T2 should immediately receive broadcast signals and RDS (Radio Data Service) when it is available.
We recommend placing the antenna inside in an attic or as high as possible for the best possible AM and FM reception, fig. 8. A 2 meter (6 foot) pre-terminated coaxial cable is provided with the tuner package for testing the antenna connection or if you choose to place the antenna close to the tuner location.

XM Antenna Input
The proprietary active XM antenna shipped with the XM model tuners is connected in the same way as the AM/FM antenna. A single run of RG6 coaxial cable is necessary for the signal for both XM tuners in the case of the dual XM model or AM/FM and XM model. For best performance it is best to use a good quality quad-sheilded cable.
The AM/FM and XM model tuner requires the use of the NV­AAC signal combiner to bring both the AM/FM and XM signals to the tuner, fig. 9.
An XM signal attenuator, part number NV-PPFAM6, is included in the XM package. This allows for a cable length less than 80 feet. Without this attenuator, the XM signal will overpower the receiver. The attenuator should be located at the back of the tuner at the antenna input for the dual XM model (NV-T2DX) or at the XM side of the AM/FM and XM signal combiner (NV­T2FXC) for the combination XM/AM/FM model (NV-T2FX), see fig. 9.
Fig . 8
Page 11
Page 13
Proper Location of the XM Antenna
Fig . 9
Location of the XM antenna is critical to proper performance. There cannot be any obstructions between the antenna and the southern sky. This means that any possible interference from buildings, trees or other structures must be avoided.
The most common location is mounted to the eve of the home’s exterior. If you are using the eve as the location of the antenna, be careful to locate it low enough that the roof over hang does not obstruct the antenna from clear sky, fig. 10. Any outside location will suffice. For best performance, the antenna should be mounted vertically, and placed at approximately a 45° angle. Again, see fig. 10. This angle is closer to 50°or 60° if you are in the extreme southern portion of the United States.
Subscribing to the XM Service
XM satellite radio provides 100 channels of music, news, sports, comedy, talk, and entertainment. Each of the T2 XM tuner modules require a subscription from XM. Listeners can subscribe by visiting XM on the Web at www.xmradio.com or by calling Xm’s Listener Care at (800)852-9696. Have the Radio ID ready. This is found by tuning to channel 0 on the tuner, on the tuner’s back panel or on the packaging.

II. Front Panel Menu Controls AM/FM
The T2 has many settings available in the menus. This allows for specialized set up options for tuner operation. The menu is accessed from the front panel by pressing and holding the “MENU” button. Once in menu mode, you can scroll through the menu options by turning the “Select” knob clockwise (CW) to move forward and counterclockwise (CCW) to move backward. As the Select knob moves through the menu, the choices appear on that tuner's display. The top line contains the name of the current menu selection. The bottom line shows the menu choices. When the desired menu option appears on the display, pressing the Select knob enters the menu choice. When the desired menu setting is made, pressing the Select knob saves it (see menu option tree, fig. 11.) Pressing the MENU button once while you are in the menu options moves you up one level. Pressing and holding the MENU button exits the menu mode.

Advanced AM/FM Settings
The following menu selections are not necessary for standard tuner operation, but do provide a deeper level of control for those who need it. When you scroll to “Advanced Settings” in the menu, pressing the Select knob then accesses the following menu options:
Operating Mode
The T2 defaults to Stand-alone operation. This is the appropriate mode if it is being used with anything other than the NuVo Concerto System.
Concerto Source 1-6: This must be set for the
appropriate NuVo Concerto source input, if the T2 is going to be used with Concerto's NuVoNet control
network (see pg. 20 Using the T2 with Concerto and
NuVoNet).
Regional Setup (AM/FM Use Only)
USA: This setting is optimized for the United States
and Canada. European (Western): This setting is optimized for Western Europe.
Australia: This setting is optimized for all of Australia. New Zealand: This setting covers all of New Zealand.
Seek Threshold (AM/FM Use Only)
This sets the effective station signal strength for seek and scan tuning. With either of these modes, the tuner will automatically tune up until it receives a good signal. You can set the definition a good signal with the seek threshold feature, fig. 13.
FM, AM, WX (Weather Band): All three available
bands are set the same way, but are adjusted individually. Scroll with the Select knob to the desired band and press the knob to select it. Once selected, you can choose between five different levels. High means the station needs to have a very strong signal for the tuner to react. Low causes the tuner to stop at any station with the slightest measurable signal. The default is the middle setting. This is an adjustment of the signal threshold. It sets the minimum signal level necessary for tuning using Seek or Scan.
These four settings cover most of the worldwide tuning standards. For operation in countries outside of these geographic regions, you may need to use the advanced settings in the T2 Configurator software for
customizing the regional tuning standard (see pg. 24
T2 Configuration Software, Advanced Settings).
Fine-Tuning (AM/FM Use Only)
The fine-tuning feature enables tuning with a smaller frequency step to include more station frequency possibilities, which may be used in areas allowing many low-power broadcast stations.
FM: The standard tuning for North America and
Australia is .200 MHz steps, and the standard for Europe and New Zealand is .100 MHz steps. Fine­tuning automatically drops the tuning steps to .05 MHz increments. AM: The North America standard for AM tuning is in 10 kHz steps and Europe is 9 kHz. AM fine tuning goes in 1 kHz steps.

Audio Settings
These selections are intended for AM, FM and XM stand-alone applications. They should be left at default settings for NuVo audio systems. These systems allow identical audio control on a per-zone basis.
Bass EQ: Bass output can be adjusted +12 dB or down to 12 dB. The default setting is flat. This feature is useful for stand-alone use with an amplifier that does not have bass EQ control. If you are using the T2 with a NuVo audio distribution system, or another system that allows for EQ control, you should leave the T2 set at 0 dB (flat), fig 14.
Treble EQ: Treble can be adjusted the same as bass.
The level ranges from 12 dB to +12 dB and defaults at 0 dB. As with the bass setting, this should not be used unless there is no external EQ capability, fig. 15.
Balance: Left and Right channel output can be
adjusted if desired. As with the EQ adjustments, this feature should not be used when the T2 is used with an audio system that already has EQ and balance adjustment capability, fig. 16. Output Level: The signal level from the T2 can be adjusted up or down to match the input gain characteristics of other audio equipment in the system. The default setting is 0 dB and the range is 6 dB to +12 dB, fig. 17.

III. Front Panel Menu Controls XM
Most menu functions are identical to the AM/FM tuner with some exceptions. The menu functions specific to XM reception are outlined here.
Signal Status: This function is important to XM functionality. When the antenna is installed and plugged into the T2 antenna input and follow the following submenus. These are designed to insure that the antenna location is sufficient for good signal reception.
Antenna: This display will either indicate OK or None. Ok means the tuner is detecting the presence of an antenna. Signal Strength: There are four displays for this selection. They are none, weak, marg. , and good. You want to adjust the antenna location so the display indicates good reception. Sat. 1: This indicates the percentage of error from the first satellite. As long as the signal strength is good, this should be between 90 and 100%. Sat 2: This function is identical to Sat 1 and indicates the percentage of error for the second satellite. Terrestrial: Many areas have terrestrial signal repeaters to boost the satellite signal. This is useful where a satellite signal might be impeded. This menu function shows the % of error in the terrestrial signal. If the satellite signal is good, the terrestrial signal is not necessary.
Name/Title: This is the default setting and displays
the name of the artist or talk show host and title of the song or show being broadcast, fig. 19. Name: This display shows the name of the artist or show host being broadcast, fig.20. Title: This displays only the title of the song or show being broadcast, fig. 21. Category: This shows the station’s genre category as defined by XM, fig. 22.

IV. 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 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 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 AM/FM frequencies or XM stations 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 station 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 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.

0
Page 18
Page 20
Actual use of these data fields is not regulated, and they may vary significantly in content between stations. If you choose not to have RDS information displayed, pressing the “Display” button will then indicate “RDS receive OFF”. In this state, Stereo indication and a signal strength indicator will replace the PSN field on the top line, and only the station frequency will be displayed on a connected zone's Display Pad. Pressing the button again will restore RDS and display “RDS receive ON.” Each press of the “Display” button toggles between on and off.
Signal Strength/Stereo Indicator
The signal strength indicator responds to the field strength of the received carrier signal, fig. 24. This indicator has seven discrete levels, with a single point at the bottom of the character space indicating a signal just detectable by the tuner, and a very strong signal indicated by four lines of increasing length above 3 dots. Stereo indication is also provided when the tuner is successfully decoding FM Multiplex stereo stations. The field will be blank if stereo reception is not possible due to weak signal conditions or if the station is broadcasting in monaural (mono). The field will display MONO if Force Mono is enabled from the MENU. This indicator and Stereo lock information will be displayed upon tuning to a new station. If RDS Receive is ON (see previous section), then the indicator and Stereo lock information will be displayed momentarily until valid RDS PSN data has been received; then it will be replaced by that data.
Pressing and holding the Memory button puts the T2 in memory recall mode. Turning the Select knob will scroll up through the saved displays, starting with the most recently saved. The T2 has the ability to save up to 10 displays. When a new display is saved, it will automatically place that information in the first slot, and bump all previously saved displays down one. Display number 10 will automatically drop off the list, fig. 25.
Source Switching
Pushing the “Source” button scrolls between AM, FM, WX (Weather Band), and Auxiliary (Aux.) modes. The auxiliary mode is optional and must be turned on
through the T2 Configuration software (see NV-T2DF Configuration software, advanced settings, pg. 24) or
through the advanced settings menu accessed at the
front panel (see Front Panel Menu Controls).

IV. Using the T2 with the Concerto NuVoNet
Setting Up the Tuner for NuVoNet
The T2 must be set for one of the Concerto source inputs 1-6. This can be done at the front panel when the tuner is first turned on, in the T2 Configurator software, or through the front panel advanced menu. The best way to utilize the T2 with NuVoNet is to set up the T2 options in the included Configurator software, and then download the configuration through the rear-panel RS232 port. It may be necessary to use a USB to RS232 adapter, fig. 26. We recommend the use of two readily available modelsthat work well with our equipment. One is a Radio Shack part number 26-183, and the other is part number FSU103, manufactured by Belkin.
Making Sure Your Concerto Is Ready for NuVoNet Use
Your Concerto System must be updated with at least software version 1.41 for proper NuVoNet communication with the T2. To check what Configurator version you currently have, open the Concerto Configurator software on your computer by double-clicking on the Configurator icon on the desktop. You will see a splash screen appear before the software opens. This lists the current software version. If you do not have version 1.41 or later, go to
www.nuvotechnologies.com/prozone

Making the Connection
Prior to connecting to NuVoNet, the Concerto must have the correct Configuration version downloaded with the T2 representing two of the audio sources. Making the NuVoNet connection is done simply by connecting the “NuVoNet” output on the T2 to one of the “Peripheral Device” inputs on the Concerto EZ Port, fig. 28. This connection will then enable bi­directional NuVoNet communication with the Display Pads.

By following the previous steps you should now be able to operate the T2 from any of the Concerto Display Pads. The Concerto Display Pads have secondary tuner functions silk-screened on the bezel below the associated keys. They appear under the appropriate function buttons, fig. 29.
Step Tune: Basic step tuning is done by pressing the
left or right arrows labeled Tune. Seek Tune: Seek tuning automatically seeks to the next frequency that meets the set signal strength
threshold (see T2 Configuration Software, Advanced Settings, Tuning Parameters pg. 22). This is done by
pressing the left and right arrows labeled Seek (see fig. 29).
Scan Tune: Scan tuning automatically tunes to the
next available station frequency that meets the signal threshold (as described above in the Seek Tune Mode). Scan tune allows the T2 to settle on a frequency for 5 seconds and then automatically go to the next frequency. To select the station, push the “ENT” button before the T2 resumes station scanning. Scan tuning is initiated by pressing the “PLAY” button, also labeled “Scan” (see fig. 29).
Tuning by Categories: The provided genre categories
are defined in the T2 Configuration software (see NV-
T2DF Configuration Software, Advanced Settings, Categories, pg. 24). You can use the stop and pause
buttons, also labeled “Categories,” to scroll up or down through the defined categories. Once you have chosen a category, the Seek up and Seek down buttons will automatically tune through any frequency within that category selection.

Again, the categories and the frequencies within each category must be first assigned within the T2 Configuration software.
Radio Data Service: The Display Pad will scroll
received Radiotext data if the tuned station is broadcasting it and if signal strength is sufficient. When a defined preset is selected, the name of that preset will appear on the display momentarily. If Radiotext RDS data is being broadcast, it will then automatically begin scrolling. This takes a few moments while the information buffers.
Direct Numeric Entry Tuning: Accessing direct tuning is done by pressing the +10 button (see fig. 27). This toggles between banks of presets (the T2 Configurator software allows for 10 banks each with 10 presets) and direct tune. When Direct Tune appears on the display, a frequency can be numerically entered using the numeric keypad on the Display Pad. When you are entering a frequency number, it is not necessary to enter the decimal, i.e.
102.7. The entered numbers will appear on the display. When the ENT button is pressed, the T2 will tune to that station.
Source Switching (radio band, aux input): The bottom
row of buttons on the Concerto Display Pad are assigned FM, AM, WX (Weather Band), and Aux. Changing the T2 source is done simply by pressing one of those four buttons, (see fig. 29).

T2 AM/FM Configuration Software
Basic setup and operation of the T2 is easily done from the front panel, the included T2RC3 remote, or the Concerto Display Pad. The T2 package includes the T2 Configurator setup software designed to quickly move you through the Tuners' setup options in a methodical fashion, and allow access to the more advanced setup features. Configurations are saved as files in the software's “Config” folder. Once complete, configurations can be used as templates for future installations.
1.0 Start
The start tab allows you to load an existing configuration, or create a new one. You can also retrieve a configuration from the T2 and edit it.
1.0 Start
2.0 Config
The Config tab is for the initial setup, which determines basic tuner operation.
2.1 NuVoNet Operating Mode: This drop down menu allows you
to select between “Stand-alone” or as a Concerto source 1- 6. If you are using the T2 as NuVoNet source for Concerto, you must select a unique, dedicated source input for each Tuner (A or B) being configured.
1.1 After you have opened a configuration, the next step is the Config Tab.

2.2 Regional Setup: Depending on your geographic location,
the tuner needs to be set for the proper tuning standard. The choices are USA and Canada, Western Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Countries outside these geographic locations need the advanced custom setting (see Advanced Settings: 4.1 Custom Regional Setup).
2.2 Regional Setup
2.4 Auto-On: In the event of loss of power, or if the T2 is
unplugged, the tuners can be set with this check box to automatically turn on when power is returned.

4.1 Custom Regional Setup: Some countries operate at a tuning
standard outside the four preset regions. The Custom setting allows specific parameters. One determining factor for tuning is the “Pre-emphasis”. The two choices for this a are 50µS (microseconds) and 75µS. The custom setting also allows for specific setting of the minimum and maximum tuning capability and the individual tuning steps for FM and AM.
4.1 Custom Regional Setup
4.3 Fine Tuning: When checked, Fine Tuning changes the
tuning standard for FM from the default tuning to .05 MHz step tuning, and AM will tune by single kHz increments, rather than the default 10 kHz for USA and Canada, and 9 kHz for Europe. The smaller tuning steps allow access to all station frequencies.
4.3 Fine Tuning
4.2 Tuning Parameters: This section determines how the T2
tunes up and down. Seek/Scan Levels for each band, FM, AM, and Weatherband sets the signal strength parameter for searching stations. The lowest level 0 causes the tuner to stop at any frequency with a very low signal. Level 4 (High), stops only when a very strong signal is detected. The factory default is Level 2 (Medium), which searches for a moderate signal. This setting changes the necessary signal threshold, which is the minimum signal level required for the T2 to recognize it and lock on to the frequency.
4.2 Tuning Parameters
4.4 Audio: Output Level increases or decreases the level of
signal from the audio output of each tuner. This setting and balance, treble, and bass are best left at the default settings for use with an audio distribution system such as NuVo systems, that have built-in equalization capability. You may want to make adjustments when the T2 is being used as a stand-alone component with an amplifier.
4.4 Audio Output Level
Page 25
Page 27
4.5 AUX Input: The T2 has an additional input that allows an
external device to be controlled through the T2's IR pass through. When this input is enabled, the level of the signal input can be adjusted up or down to match the tuners' signal output level.
4.5 AUX Input
5.2 Level: This slider changes the signal level of the station.
This is especially useful for stations, such as many Public Broadcasting System affiliates, that broadcast an uncompressed signal with lower volume level than other stations. This makes it possible for all stations to have the same volume level as the user accesses presets.
5.1 Level
5.0 Advanced Presets
The preset tab in the advanced settings has additional
features for specific preset setup.
5.1 High Cut: High-Cut is rarely used, but it can be a useful
function for a weaker AM signal that tends have high­frequency hiss. This drop down menu allows you to select a frequency cut-off for high-frequency reception. Any audio above the chosen frequency will be filtered with a gentle roll­off response.
5.1 High Cut
6.0 Categories
A unique feature of the T2 is the ability to set up categories of listening. These are genre selections that automatically tune through stations within that genre. Typical categories are sports, talk, rock, classical. The T2 software has 38 pre-loaded categories available. These are easily turned off if you do not intend to use them, or new categories can be added to best fit the user's needs. Every radio market area has a list of AM and FM stations available through a website, www.radiolocator.com. Here you will find a list of stations, approximate signal strength and the appropriate listening genres. This can be a useful tool for setting up a template for all of your tuner configurations.
6.1 Categories Tab: By highlighting categories within the
categories tab, you can then click on the On/Off button to turn that category off. This prevents unused categories from being displayed when scrolling through the category selections. If you know you will not use a category, you can delete it all together, or add a specific category that is not listed. Any of the categories can be given a customized name by clicking on the rename button.

Troubleshooting
Symptom
I can't control the Tuner A or Tuner B from Display Pads, even though my Concerto Configuration has these tuners enabled as sources in the Concerto Configuration I loaded.
My Tuner A or Tuner B display periodically says “Error no Concerto Connected”.
My Tuner A or Tuner B display periodically says “Error source address not in Concerto Configuration”.
Remedy
(1) Does your Concerto Configuration have Tuner A or
Tuner B set up as a source using the provided T2 library?
(2) Is the Tuner configured for “Operating Mode”
matching the source numbers you set up in the Concerto Configuration? This can be done from the front panel MENU Adv. Settings selection, or with the T2 Configurator.
(3) Is the T2 connected to the NuvoNet through your EZ-
Port?
Connect the Nuvonet IN port on the rear of the T2 to one of the “Peripheral Device” ports on your Concerto EZ Port.
The source numbers assigned in your Concerto Configuration do not match the “Operating Mode” selection for the tuner. Change either one to match the other.

Troubleshooting
Symptom
The song name displayed on my Display Pad does not match what I'm hearing.
When I use Seek or Scan tuning, the tuner misses some stations that I can receive in the manual, STEP tune mode.
There is a lot of hiss and extra noise on some of the AM stations.
Remedy
The system will forward currently broadcasted Radio Data Service (RDS) RadioText data from the station tuned. Unfortunately, many stations do not keep this information current in all cases.
Congratulations, your listening area is relatively free from interference! You should lower the “seek threshold” by going to MENU Adv. Settings Seek Threshold, selecting FM Threshold, or AM Theshold as appropriate, and rotating the SELECT knob counter clockwise. This will move the display indicator toward LOW. Alternatively, you can do this in your T2 Configurator by going to the Config page, selecting View­Advanced from the page menu, and dialing in the lower threshold in the Seek/Scan Levels select box. This is found in the “Tuning Parameters” section of the Windows page at the lower right.
This is a common occurrence with some AM stations that have a weaker signal. This can be minimized in the T2 Configurator software by using the “High-Cut” feature in the Advanced Preset settings. See “5.1 High Cut” on page 23 for detailed instructions for using this feature.
I want to have another audio source connected to the “AUX” input, but I have no audio when I switch to that source.
Remember, you have to Enable the “AUX” input either at the front panel through the advanced menu options, page 14, or in the T2 Configurator software in the Advanced Config, page 23.
