Tivoli Audio MUSIC SYSTEM BT Manuel Utilisateur page 13

Getting the most from your Music System BT
1. Treat the Music System BT as you would a home stereo system. Although the audio from a
computer or laptop can be connected to the Music System BT, it's not intended for near-field
(close-up) listening like "computer speakers". As with a home stereo system, listening at a
distance will yield the best results.
2. The Wide mode and EQ settings allow you to tailor the Music System BT's sound to your liking
depending on the program material, room size and volume level. We've spent countless hours
of critical listening using a variety of material with different settings and at different volume
levels. In general we recommend the treble control be kept in the "0" position. At high volume
levels, for the most accurate reproduction, we recommend keeping the EQ off and the Audio
setting in Stereo or Mono (not Wide) mode.
3. Should you ever experience a problem, remove the batteries and the power cord for 60 sec-
onds, then reinstall the batteries and re-attach the cord. This should restore normal
operation.
Reception/RDS
The internal FM antenna (built into the power cord) will provide good FM reception. The supplied
external FM antenna will usually provide improved reception. Fully extend the antenna and do not
bundle it with the power cord or other cords. Locating the antenna near a window or outside wall
will provide better reception than more interior locations. An outdoor antenna will provide the best
possible reception. Another alternative is to use an optional FM dipole antenna (adapter required).
Connecting your cable television 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. Be sure to set the rear panel switch to "External" when using an external FM
antenna. Otherwise, it should remain in the "Internal" position. This switch has no affect on AM
reception. If a noisy FM station is received, setting the Audio button to "Mono" may help to clear
up some of the multiplex noise. Route the power cord away from the antennas for best reception.
The Radio Data System (RDS) in the USA and Europe transmits text information along with audio
broadcasts. Program Service data will be shown in the upper right corner when available. Not all FM
stations utilize RDS, thus text data may not be present with some stations. For stations using RDS,
text may not appear or may appear scrambled if the signal is too weak. Experimenting with the FM
antenna location may improve RDS reception. RDS content is determined by each individual FM
station, therefore if any data is shown incorrectly, this is not a fault of the unit. There are also limita-
tions in terms of the kinds of characters that can be displayed. Therefore it is not unusual to see a
different character or blank space in cases where the precise character can't be reproduced. Note
RDS text will not be displayed in Sleep mode. RDS is not used on the AM band.
For AM, fold the included AM antenna's integrated stand under the loop, (See Figure 13, page 9)
snap it in position, and connect the male stereo mini jack to the female mini connector on the rear
panel marked "AM Antenna". Adjust for best reception for each AM station.
Buildings made with concrete, steel, or aluminum siding will hinder reception. Household appliances,
electric blankets, computers, and other electronic devices can also adversely affect reception or
inject noise. If you experience this, move the Music System BT further from the offending device or
plug it into an electrical outlet not shared by another device. Metal surfaces may hinder AM reception.
