The T32R is a fully remote-controllable,
high-precision tuner, built to the most
demanding standards,whic h allows you to
choose any radio programme and keep it
precisely locked in tune.It has been
designed for both the present and the
future;along with traditional FM and AM
reception,the T32R is fully compatible
Digital Radio.If the signal is strong enough
to be received,then the reception and
sound reproduction will be ideal,with no
hiss,crackle, interference or other such
distractions spoiling your listening
enjoyment.
On the T32R, radio text is shown on the

to operate.
Connecting the T32R to other TAG

Communications Bus enables it to form a
core part of a complete home entertainment
system.No longer will a tuner be thought of

need to listen to lower-quality broadcasts
from weaker FM signals.To help you get

Digital Radio (option)
Digital Radio (DAB) reception – the digital
future of radio.If your T32R has the optional
DAB module fitted,you will be able to
receive Digital Radio.With Digital Radio
you get pure,clear,noise-free sound – all
the time.Fur thermore,digital broadcasting
uses the airwaves very efficiently, which
means broadcasters can transmit a wider
DAB modes (I,II, III and IV), features high
selectivity through the use of a high-order
recursive digital filter and supports the full
sampling rate of 48kHz and the half sampling
rate of 24kHz.
Although Digital Radio is a totally new way
of broadcasting,it has been thoughtfully
integrated into the T32R so that Digital Radio
is as simple as selecting any other ‘band’.

The DAB data is automatically routed to
the digital output sockets on the rear
panel,allowing you to make digital
recordings using a digital recorder.

We recommend connecting the T32R’s

with the DAB module already installed,
your approved TAG McLaren Audio retailer
can easily add it at a later date.

The T32R is supplied with the T32R Remote, which uses two AAA
1.5V batteries. Before using the Remote for the first time, you will
need to insert the batteries supplied. Make sure that the + and markings on the batteries match those in the battery compartment.
To open the battery compartment, push the latch towards the
centre of the T32R Remote, and lift the latch up. To close the
battery compartment, slide the battery cover straight back in
(towards the side of the remote) and push down until it clicks
into place.
