FM/AM Reception:
The included external FM antenna will provide good reception. In strong FM signal locations,
reducing the antenna's length may provide better reception. This antenna has no affect on AM
reception. Another alternative is to use an optional FM dipole antenna, though an adapter might
be required. Connecting your cable television's 75ohm coaxial cable to the external FM connection
may also provide clear local reception, although you must usually request activation of this service
through your cable company.
If you are using the Model 10 together with the optional Model 10 Speaker for stereo sound and
you are listening to a noisy FM station, press the Mono button on the remote control, as this might
make the station more listenable. This button has no affect on AM reception.
For the AM band, since the AM ferrite rod antenna is internal, rotate the Model 10 for best reception.
An optional external wireless AM antenna may provide improved AM reception.
Buildings made with concrete, steel, or aluminum siding will hinder reception. Household appliances,
electric blankets, computers, CD players, and other electronic devices can also adversely affect
reception or inject noise. If you experience this, move the Model 10 further from the offending
device or plug it into an electrical outlet not shared by another device. Metal surfaces may also
hinder AM reception.
RDS/RBDS (FM band only):
The Radio Data System transmits text data along with the audio broadcast. Not all FM stations
utilize this service, thus text may not be present with some stations. For stations broadcasting
RDS, the text still might not appear, or might appear scrambled if the signal is too weak. In such
cases, experiment with the position of the FM antenna. Note RDS content is determined by each
individual FM station.
Placement:
Place the Model 10 on a flat, stable surface. For proper bass and ventilation, do not obstruct the
rear bass port. The Model 10 is not video shielded and should be kept at minimum of 5" (127mm)
away from a computer monitor or television set. Placement in a bookcase, cabinet, or close to
walls or corners may inflate the bass, creating an unnatural sound.
Cleaning:
Never use any harsh cleansers or solvents on your radio. Avoid spray-on waxes. A liquid wood
polish usually yields best results.
Painting or staining the wood cabinet will void your warranty.
An important note about the wood cabinet: The variation in color and grain are characteristics
of real wood and contribute to the cabinet's natural beauty. The veneer for each cabinet is
unique. As a result, the cabinet's finish may not match other Tivoli Audio products.
Depending on the veneer, you might also notice the wood darken over time with exposure to
light. This is normal.
Re-set:
Should you need to re-set the Model 10 for any reason, unplug the power cord and plug it back in.
