be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on
or pinched by items placed upon or against them,
paying particular attention to cords at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they
exit from the unit.
12) Nonuse periods - The power cord of the unit should
be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for
long periods of time.
13) Object and liquid entry - Care should be taken so
that objects do not fall into or liquids spilled into
the inside of the unit.
1) Read instructions- All the safety and operating
instructions should be read before the unit is operated.
2) Retain instructions - The safety and operating
instructions should be retained for future reference.
3) Heed warnings - All warnings on the unit and in the
operating instructions should be heeded.
4) Follow instructions - All operating and other
instructions should be followed.
5) Water and moisture - The unit should not be used
near water - for example, near a bathtub, washbowl,
kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a
swimming pool, etc.
6) Wall or ceiling mounting - Unit should be mounted to a
wall or only as recommended by the
ceiling
manufacturer.
7) Cleaning - The unit should be cleaned only as
recommended by the manufacturer.
14) Servicing - The user should not attempt to service
the unit beyond those means described in the
operating instructions. All other servicing should be
referred to qualified service personnel.
15) Damage requiring service - The unit should be
serviced by a qualified service personnel when:
A. The power supply cord or the plug has been
damaged; or
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has spilled into the
unit; or
C. The unit has been exposed to rain; or
D. The unit does not appear to operate normally or
exhibits a marked change in performance; or
E. The unit has been dropped, or the cabinet has
been damaged .
16) Power lines - An outdoor antenna should be located
away from power lines.
17) Grounding or polarization - Precautions should be
taken so that the grounding or polarization is not
defeated.

Model NV-T3
3-in-1 AM/ FM Tuner
Introduction
Imagine the capability to enjoy AM news in the den … soft rock FM in the kitchen … and a smooth jazz
FM station in the bedroom … all at the same time and without having to purchase three separate tuners.
With the introduction of the NUVO™3-IN-1 AM/FM tuner, this dream is now a reality.
The NUVO™3-in-1 provides three independent AM/FM tuners in one convenient and affordable package.
Using the handy RC1 remote, you can easily control the 3-in-1 from anywhere in your home.
With separate IR (infrared) codes for each tuner, it’s simple to choose preset stations, adjust volume
levels, switch from AM to FM, mute a specific tuner, and more - all with one remote control.
There’s no need for multiple remotes!
NUVO™
The 3-in-1 Tuner can be used with most any audio system. But when combined with a NUVO™
or Kustom multi-source, multi-zone system, you get complete control, convenience, and flexibility.
That’s the magic of NUVO™.

Troubleshooting
SYMPTOM CAUSE REMEDY
Noisy reception
Crackling sounds.
Stereo indicator (( ))
flickers.
FM Stereo reception is noisy.
There is distortion and clear
FM
reception cannot be obtained
even with a good antenna.
Cannot tune station
using automatic tuning, no
stereo operation
Noise from other electrical
equipment, ignition noise
from passing vehicles.
Insufficient antenna input.
Transmitter too far away,
antenna is not in direct line
of sight with transmitter
tower.
Multipath interference.
Station is too weak.
The tuning mode is set to
manual tuning.
The FM antenna should be
put up as high as possible.
Install a noise suppressor on
the equipment causing the
noise.
Try using a directional
antenna.
Check all antenna
connections. Try using a
directional antenna. Use
manual tuning.
Try different antenna
positions.
Use manual tuning mode .
Try using a directional.
antenna.
Preset stations can no
longer be tuned in.
Cannot tune station using
automatic tuning.
There are continuous
crackling and hissing noises.
AM
There are buzzing and
whining noises (especially in
the evening).
The T-3 has been unplugged
for a long period of time.
No AC power at the wall
outlet for a long period of
time.
Weak signal.
These noises result from
certain atmospheric
conditions. All types of
electrical equipment cause
noise in AM reception.
A TV set is in use nearby.
Another station is interfering
with the received station.
Reprogram the tuner.
Use manual tuning mode.
Use an outdoor antenna and
a good ground wire.
Note: It is very difficult to
eliminate all noise.
Relocate the NV-T3 or the
TV.
Page 11
Remote AM / FM Antenna configurations
Remote FM antenna:
If using remote antenna,
do not connect supplied
FM antenna. Follow all
connection procedures on
the precautions page
(page 3.)
Three separate remote FM antennas can be used (one for
each tuner). This type of installation is used for directional
antenna placement. Example: Three distance FM towers
located in different directions from the location of the NV-T3.
Static discharge
grounding block.
Earth Ground
In line amp
In-line FM Amplifier (optional)
should be installed as close to
the antenna as possible.
Sound quality will depend on
area and distance from the
station’s tower.
3-way FM splitter
AM loop antennas
must be
connected.
