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 pro-
vide 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 Two further from the offending device or plug
it into an electrical outlet not shared by another device. Metal surfaces may hinder AM reception.
Placement
Place the Music System Two on a solid, flat, stable surface strong enough to support its weight.
Placement in a bookcase, cabinet, or close to walls or corners may inflate the bass, creating an
unnatural sound. Do not obstruct the vents on the rear panel, as these are for sound as well as
internal heat ventilation.
The Music System Two is shielded and may be placed near or below a TV or computer monitor.
Cleaning
For your own safety, be sure the Music System Two is disconnected from the power outlet during clean-
ing. Never use any harsh cleansers or solvents on your radio. Fingerprints may be removed from the
cabinet using the included cloth. The face may be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth only if necessary.
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.
