Notes:

• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but accept­able results can sometimes be obtained when
installed in an attic or loft.

• For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well
away from tall buildings, preferably with a clear line
of sight to your local FM transmitter.

• Outdoor antenna should be located away from possi­ble noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.

• For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be situ­ated well away from power lines and other high volt­age equipment.

• Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance
with local regulations to prevent electrical shock haz­ards.

Connecting an Outdoor AM Antenna

If good reception cannot be achieved using the supplied
AM loop antenna, an outdoor AM antenna can be used
in addition to the loop antenna, as shown.

Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed outside
horizontally, but good results can sometimes be
obtained indoors by mounting horizontally above a win­dow. Note that the AM loop antenna should be left con­nected.

Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with
local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.

Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter

It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and
TV reception, as this can cause interference problems.

Presetting Stations Manually

Here you can tune into stations individually and store
them as presets. This allows you to store stations in any
order you like.

Notes:

• You can store up to 30 stations, and this can be any
combination of FM and AM stations. For example, 17
FM stations and 13 AM stations, or 8 FM stations and
22 AM stations.

• Although the numbering schemes for FM and AM
presets both start at 1, it doesn’t matter because FM
and AM presets are selected independently.

• Stations can be stored to presets in any order. For
example, you could store some AM stations to presets
2, 1, 9, and so on.

Using RDS
(European models only)

RDS stands for Radio Data System and is a method of
transmitting data in FM radio signals. Many FM sta­tions use it these days.

The T-4355 supports the following types of RDS data:

PS: Program Service Name

When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting PS
information, the station’s name appears on the display.

RT: Radio Text

When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting RT
text information, the text scrolls across the display.

Note:

If the signal from an RDS station is weak, RDS data
maybe displayed intermittently or not at all.

Displaying RDS information

Note:

You must be tuned to an FM station that supports RT
(Radio Text) in order to display any text.

DISPLAY

Press the [DISPLAY] button
repeatedly to show the following
information.

Frequency

Notes:

• If the current station does not support RDS, only the
frequency and preset name (see page 17) will be dis­played. If the current preset has no name, only the
frequency will be displayed.

• In some cases, it may take between 2 and 15 seconds
for the RT text to be displayed.

• The message “Waiting···” may appear while the RT
data is being received.

• When tuned to an RDS station that’s not transmitting
any RT data, the message “No Text” will be dis­played.

Troubleshooting

If you have any trouble using the T-4355, look for a solution here. If you can’t resolve the issue yourself, contact your
Onkyo dealer.

Power

Can’t turn on the T-4355.

• Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged into the wall outlet (page 14).

• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait five seconds or more, then plug it in again.

Audio

There’s no sound.

• The T-4355 is not connected properly. Check all connections and correct as necessary.

• The wrong input source is selected on your amplifier. Check your amplifier’s input source setting. Refer to your
amplifier’s manual.

• Make sure the amplifier’s volume control is not set to minimum.

Radio

Reception is noisy, stereo FM reception suffers from hiss, the Auto Preset function doesn’t preset all
stations, or the ST indicator doesn’t light up when tuned to a stereo FM station.

• Check the antenna connections.

• Change the position of the antenna.

• Move the T-4355 away from a nearby TV or computer.

• Move power cords and speaker cables as far away as possible from the tuner’s antenna.

• Cars or airplanes can cause noisy interference.

• The radio signal will be weakened if it has to pass through a concrete wall before reaching the antenna.

• Try setting FM mode to mono.

• When listening to an AM station, noise may be heard when you operate the remote controller.

• If none of the above improves the reception, install an outdoor antenna.

Settings such as radio presets were deleted.

• Backup data can be stored incorrectly or destructed, and lead to a malfunction if either of the following operations is
performed:

- turning off the power immediately after an operation.

- repeating the fast power on/off switchings.

• When a malfunction occurred due to those operations, initialize T-4355 to its factory defaults (see below), then set
radio presets or other settings again.

Remote Controller

The A-9355/A-9155’s remote controller doesn’t work.

• Point the remote controller at the A-9355/A-9155’s remote sensor (page 9).

• To use , you must make an connection and an audio connection between the A-9355/A-9155 and T-4355
(page 11).

The T-4355 contains a microcomputer for signal processing and control functions. In very rare
situations, severe interference, noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause it to
lockup. In the unlikely event that this should happen, unplug the power cord, wait at least five
seconds, and then plug it again.

To reset the T-4355 to its factory defaults, turn it on and, while holding down the [FM MODE]
button, press the [DISPLAY] button. “CLEAR” will appear on the display.
