RT-1080 AM/FM Stereo Tuner

FREQUENCY DIRECT Button:

Direct Access Tuning

If you know the frequency of the desired sta-
tion, you may tune it directly using the FRE-
QUENCY DIRECT button (remote only) and
the NUMERIC buttons.
1. Press the FREQUENCY DIRECT button to
change the NUMERIC buttons from station
preset to direct access mode. The display
will change to a series of bars, represent-
ing the digits of a station frequency, with
the first bar blinking.
2. Enter the first digit of the station frequency
using the NUMERIC buttons. The digit will
appear in the frequency display and the
next bar will flash. Enter the remaining digits
of the frequency. When all of the digits have
been entered, the tuner will automatically
tune to the displayed station frequency.
: On the USA version only, pressing 1
NOTE
in the FM mode will enter 10 as the digit in
the frequency display. On the European
version, press 1 and then 0 to enter 10. For
US FM stations, press only one digit follow-
ing the decimal point as shown in the first
example following. For European FM sta-
tions, press two digits after the decimal
point as shown in the second example.
:
EXAMPLES
(USA FM) 87.50MHz
Press 8>7>5
(Europe FM) 87.50MHz
Press 8>7>5>0
(all AM) 1610kHz
Press 1>6>1>0
If no frequency is entered within 5 seconds,
the tuner will cancel FREQUENCY DIRECT
tuning mode and revert to the last previ-
ously tuned station.

AUTO TUNING Button

The AUTO TUNING button toggles between
the frequency search tuning feature and manual
frequency tuning. When using the DOWN/
UP buttons in AUTO TUNING mode, the tuner
will begin automatically scanning up or down
through the frequencies until the next receiv-
able signal is detected. If this is not the de-
sired station, use the DOWN/UP buttons again
to find the next station. Weak stations will be
skipped during auto tuning. If no receivable
signal is detected, the tuner will revert to the
previously tuned station.
To toggle between FREQUENCY TUNING
mode and AUTO TUNING mode, press the
AUTO TUNING button. An AUTO indicator
will appear in the display.
: AUTO TUNING mode is disengaged
NOTE
when the TUNE/PRESET button is set to PRE-
SET tuning mode. See the following section.

TUNE/PRESET Button

The TUNE/PRESET button toggles between
FREQUENCY TUNING mode (the DOWN/
UP buttons advance to the next station fre-
quency) and PRESET TUNING mode (the
DOWN/UP buttons advance to the next sta-
tion preset). To toggle between the two modes,
press the TUNE/PRESET button. A PRESET in-
dicator in the display will light when the PRE-
SET mode is active.
: AUTO TUNING mode is disengaged
NOTE
when the TUNE/PRESET button is set to PRE-
SET tuning mode.

PRESET SCAN Button

This button activates a preset scanning feature.
When you press the button, the tuner will au-
tomatically scan through all memorized sta-
tion presets, playing each for five seconds be-
fore moving to the next. To stop the station scan-
ning when the desired station preset is reached,
press the button again.
: If a PRESET station is currently tuned
NOTE
when the PRESET SCAN button is pressed,
scanning will start with the next higher preset
number and continue through all presets, stop-
ping on the initial preset. If a PRESET station
is not currently tuned when the button is
pressed, scanning will start from PRESET 1
and continue to PRESET 30.

RDS and RBDS Reception

The Rotel RT-1080 is equipped with RDS (Ra-
dio Data Systems) capabilities for Europe and
RBDS (Radio Broadcast Data Service) capa-
bilities for the United States. These broadcast
systems provide additional functionality to FM
radio reception by transmitting encoded in-
formation along with the radio signal. This sig-
nal is decoded by an RDS or RBDS receiver
and can provide a range of informational
features including:
12
1. a display of the station's identifying name
(e.g. BBC1)
2. a display of the station's program content
(e.g. ROCK or NEWS)
3. traffic information broadcasts
4. a scrolling text display for announcements
or information
In addition, RDS provides several advanced
search features including:
1. Search for a station with the desired pro-
gram content (PTY)
2. Search for traffic information (TP)
3. Search for stations broadcasting special
traffic announcements (TA).
RDS broadcasting has been widely available
in many European markets for years. There
are a large number of RDS stations and most
users will be familiar with the features and
operation. In the USA, implementation of the
RBDS system is more recent. Fewer stations
are broadcasting RBDS signals and the fea-
tures may be less familiar to many users. Ask
your authorized Rotel dealer for information
on RDS or RBDS broadcasting in your area.
: The RDS and RBDS features are en-
NOTE
tirely dependent on the broadcaster sending
properly encoded signals. Thus, they will only
be available where RDS or RBDS is currently
implemented and where stations are broad-
casting these data signals. If there are no RDS
or RBDS stations, the RT-1080 will function
as a standard radio receiver.
: RDS and RBDS services are only avail-
NOTE
able on FM broadcasts. The features de-
scribed are only operational in FM mode.

DISPLAY Button

There are five display options when the tuned
station is broadcasting RDS data and the RDS
indicator in the display is lit. Press the DISPLAY
button to step through the five available op-
tions:
1. Standard FREQUENCY display.
2. PROGRAM SERVICE name. This is typically
the station's call letters, such as BBC1. If
the current station is not broadcasting an
RDS signal, the display will show a blink-
ing PS indication.
