installation Arcam’s T32 provides class-leading sound quality from a range of radio sources: FM, AM, DAB and/or Sirius. (The range is market determined, depending on the national availability of radio sources.) In addition, the T32 works beautifully with Arcam’s rDock or rLead accessories, giving your iPod® a first class entry ticket into your home Hi-Fi system. As part of an Arcam system, the high performance T32 tuner is designed to truly bring your music to life.
Mains switch This switch isolates the unit from mains power. The unit can be placed in low power standby using the standby button on the front panel or P on the remote control Remote in This allows remote-control signals to be received by the T32 if the remote sensor is covered or otherwise ‘invisible’ to the remote control (see page 4). Sirius input This input is for a SiriusConnect™ Home Tuner module. Sirius is a subscription radio service that is available throughout North America.
rDock connection Connect the rDock as shown, power on the rDock, slot in your iPod and select iPod as the source. ����� ������� ������� ������� Radio interference Navigating through music and podcasts on your iPod is simple using the CR90 remote, with text appearing on the T32’s front panel display. The combination of your T32 and Arcam’s rDock (or rLead) provides a great platform for your iPod®. All Arcam products have been designed to very high standards of electromagnetic compatibility.

antenna Which radio aerial? DAB Your Arcam T32 is capable of superb radio reception, but only if it is receiving a good quality transmission signal. In moderately strong signal areas, one of the two dipole ribbon aerials supplied can be used with reasonable results. 1. Loosen the two cross-head screws on the push-on adaptor. 2. Slide a terminal tag from the long end of the ribbon aerial under one of the screws and tighten securely. Repeat with the other tag and remaining screw. 3.
Sirius AM An FM aerial is required to receive VHF radio signals. An antenna suitable for receiving Sirius satellite broadcasts is included with the SiriusConnect™ Home Tuner accessory (not supplied). An AM aerial is required to receive AM/medium wave radio signals, so a simple loop aerial is supplied. Follow the assembly instructions in the adjacent diagram. The Sirius 8-pin connection cable lets you control the tuner through your Arcam T32.
��������� operation ���� ���� ���� �� ��� Front panel operation ��� ���� ���� ���� ���� ���� OK Press OK to confirm a digital radio channel selection or a preset selection. (Equivalent to O on remote control.) These functions can also be controlled by the CR90 remote control. (See pages 14 for details.) Control knob STANDBY Used to manually tune stations by selecting a frequency, or to cycle through stations (DAB, Sirius) or stored presets.
Before searching for stations, ensure that the T32 is in the correct mode by pressing the 5 or 6 buttons on the front panel (or M on the remote control) until ‘AM’ or ‘FM’ is shown on the display. There are two methods to search for analogue (AM/FM) stations: < If you know the broadcast frequency of the station you want, turn the Control knob on the frontpanel until the desired frequency is displayed. You should then hear the required radio station.
Using Sirius satellite radio (if fitted) Before you can receive Sirius satellite radio you must connect a ‘SiriusConnect™ Home Tuner’ package to your T32, obtain a Sirius subscription, and correctly place the Sirius antenna provided in the package to receive Sirius satellite broadcasts. Visit www.sirius.com for more information. Selecting Sirius mode Check the connections between the SiriusConnect™ Home Tuner package and check that it is receiving power.
iPod operation The T32 can store up to a total of 100 presets. A preset is a combination of band and frequency, or a DAB or Sirius channel (where fitted), stored in a numbered location. Fourteen of these may be accessed directly from the dedicated front panel preset buttons, although all 100 presets can be stored and retrieved using the Control knob or remote control. If an rDock is connected to the T32, it automatically enables ‘iPod mode’. First select the radio station you wish to assign to a preset.
The CR90 Universal remote controller remote control Select the source key first The CR90 is a sophisticated ‘universal’ remote control that can control up to eight devices. It’s pre-programmed for use with the T32 and many other Arcam products (amplifers, CD-players and DVD-players). Remember to select a source key before pressing command buttons – commands vary depending on the source selected! To control the T32 tuner, press TUN.
