Direct IR Control
The T2 is designed for IR control via IR received by an audio
distribution system. In the NuVo Simplese or Essentia audio
distribution systems, the IR emitter outputs act as a repeater
to IR signals incident on the system keypads. The T2's wired IR
connector is a 3.5mm two-conductor (mono) jack labeled “IR
INPUT.” Using a mono mini-to-mini patch cable, connect the IR
emitter output of a Simplese or Essentia Main Unit to the IR
INPUT on the T2. The two tuners in the T2 respond to separate
IR codes, so the direct IR input replaces the need for external
IR emitters placed over the IR receiver windows on the front of
the unit, fig. 3. This connection is not used when using the
Concerto NuVoNet system. The NuVo Essentia and Simplese
systems are used for example, but the T2 is compatible with
any audio system that is capable of repeating IR.

Antenna Input
Fig . 7
The T2 ships with a proprietary amplified AM/FM antenna. This
antenna is designed to work only with the NuVo T2 series
tuners. It can be located up to 200 feet from the tuner location,
and we recommend 75-ohm RG 6 coaxial cable with a standard
F style connector on each end. Simply attach the cable to the
connector at the bottom of the antenna, and into the “Antenna
Input” on the T2, fig. 7. Once connected, the T2 should
immediately receive broadcast signals and RDS (Radio Data
Service) when it is available.
We recommend placing the antenna inside in an attic or as
high as possible for the best possible AM and FM reception,
fig. 8. A 2 meter (6 foot) pre-terminated coaxial cable is
provided with the tuner package for testing the antenna
connection or if you choose to place the antenna close to the
tuner location.

Fig. 9: Menu Option Tree
II. Front Panel Menu Controls
The T2 has many settings available in the menus. This allows
for many specialized set up options for basic tuner operation.
The menu is accessed from the front panel by pressing and
holding the “MENU” button. Once in menu mode, you can
scroll through the menu options by turning the “Select” knob
clockwise (CW) to move forward and counterclockwise (CCW)
to move backward. As the Select knob moves through the
menu, the choices appear on that tuner's display. The top line
contains the name of the current menu selection. The bottom
line shows the menu choices. When the desired menu option
appears on the display, pressing the Select knob enters the
menu choice. When the desired menu setting is made,
pressing the Select knob saves it (see menu option tree,
fig.9.) Pressing the MENU button once while you are in the
menu options moves you up one level. Pressing and holding
the MENU button exits the menu mode.
Exit Menu: When you first enter the menu choices, the first
choice is to exit the menu, which takes you back to normal
turner operation.
Force Mono: This is a useful feature when a stereo pair of
speakers is not available, or if the signal of a station is weak.
Forcing the signal to mono eliminates a weak station from
flipping in and out of stereo reception. If RDS display is OFF or
if there is no valid RDS data, the display will indicate “MONO.”
Brightness: This changes the intensity of each tuner's display.
The level choices range from 1- 8. The default level is the
brightest level 8, fig 10.
Info:
Version: This tells you what firmware version is
currently loaded on the T2.
Test Status: This is for factory diagnostic use only.

Seek Threshold
This sets the effective station signal strength for seek and
scan tuning. With either of these modes, the tuner will
automatically tune up until it receives a good signal. You can
set the definition a good signal with the seek threshold
feature, fig. 11.
The following menu selections are not necessary for standard
tuner operation, but do provide a deeper level of control for
those who need it. When you scroll to “Advanced Settings” in
the menu, pressing the Select knob then accesses the
following menu options:
FM, AM, WX (Weather Band): All three available
bands are set the same way, but are adjusted
individually. Scroll with the Select knob to the
desired band and press the knob to select it. Once
selected, you can choose between five different
levels. High means the station needs to have a very
strong signal for the tuner to react. Low causes the
tuner to stop at any station with the slightest
measurable signal. The default is the middle setting.
This is an adjustment of the signal threshold. It sets
the minimum signal level necessary for tuning using
Seek or Scan.
Operating Mode
Concerto Source 1-6: This must be set for the
appropriate NuVo Concerto source input, if the T2 is
going to be used with Concerto's NuVoNet control
network (see pg. 17 Using the T2 with Concerto and
NuVoNet).
Stand-alone: Stand-alone must be set when the T2 is
being used with any system other than the NuVo
Concerto audio distribution system.
Regional Setup
USA: This setting is optimized for the United States
and Canada.
European (Western): This setting is optimized for
Western Europe.
Australia: This setting is optimized for all of Australia.
New Zealand: This setting covers all of New Zealand.
These four settings cover most of the worldwide
tuning standards. For operation in countries outside
of these geographic regions, you may need to use the
advanced settings in the T2 Configurator software for
customizing the regional tuning standard (see pg. T2
Configuration Software, Advanced Settings).

that allows for EQ control, you should leave the T2 set
at 0 dB (flat), fig 12.
Treble EQ: Treble can be adjusted the same as bass.
The level ranges from 12 dB to +12 dB and defaults at 0
dB. As with the bass setting, this should not be used
unless there is no external EQ capability, fig. 13.

Seek Tune Mode: The seek tunes up when the Select knob is
turned CW and down when the Select knob is turned
CCW. In seek tune mode, the tuner will automatically
stop at the next available station signal. It will stay at
that selection until you tune to a new station.

two banks of presets, but more banks can be added or
deleted in the T2 Configurator software. Saving a
preset is done simply by tuning to a desired station
and pressing and holding one of the numeric buttons
until the display reads “Preset Saved.” Once a preset
is saved, banks of presets are accessed by pressing
the PRE/DIR button, and then pressing the
appropriate number button accesses the desired
preset.
Tuning by Categories: A unique feature is the ability to
group station frequencies into specific genre
categories. The desired frequencies for each category
must be assigned in the T2 Configurator software (see
NV-T2DF Configurator software, Assigning
Categories). Once you have decided on the categories
you want to use and assigned specific station
frequencies, you will always have that template for
future use. To enter Category tuning, press the
“Category up or down keys.” This will scroll to the
next assigned category with each push. When a
category is selected, turning the Select knob will step
through all the frequencies within that category, fig.
17.
Radio Data Service (RDS) Information and Display Modes
The Radio Data Service is a format broadcasters can
use to send artist and song information with their
broadcast. Although this service is gaining in
popularity, all stations do not yet use it. If a station
is broadcasting RDS, the T2 will automatically scroll
what is being received. The Program Status Name
(PSN) data field (up to 8 characters) will appear in
the upper right of the display. This was intended by
RDS system architects to display a station name,
such as a call sign. The Radiotext field (up to 64
characters) will be displayed on the second line and
will scroll if it exceeds 16 characters. The Radiotext
message will be displayed on Display Pads in an
integrated Nuvo Concerto system. Radiotext was
intended for display of artist and title information.
Direct Numeric Tuning: The T2 allows for direct numeric entry.
To get to the Direct mode, press the PRE/DIR button
until “DIRECT TUNE” appears on the display. Then
pressing the numeric buttons in sequence for the
desired frequency and pressing the Select knob will
tune to that station.
Page 15

Actual use of these data fields is not regulated, and
they may vary significantly in content between
stations. If you choose not to have RDS information
displayed, pressing the “Display” button will then
indicate “RDS receive OFF”. In this state, Stereo
indication and a signal strength indicator will replace
the PSN field on the top line, and only the station
frequency will be displayed on a connected zone's
Display Pad. Pressing the button again will restore
RDS and display “RDS receive ON.” Each press of the
“Display” button toggles between on and off.
Pressing and holding the Memory button puts the T2
in memory recall mode. Turning the Select knob will
scroll up through the saved displays, starting with the
most recently saved. The T2 has the ability to save up
to 10 displays. When a new display is saved, it will
automatically place that information in the first slot,
and bump all previously saved displays down one.
Display number 10 will automatically drop off the list,
fig. 19.
Source Switching
Pushing the “Source” button scrolls between AM, FM,
WX (Weather Band), and Auxiliary (Aux.) modes. The
auxiliary mode is optional and must be turned on
through the T2 Configuration software (see NV-T2DF
Configuration software, advanced settings, pg. ) or
through the advanced settings menu accessed at the
front panel (see Front Panel Menu Controls).
Signal Strength/Stereo Indicator
The signal strength indicator responds to the field
strength of the received carrier signal, fig. 18. This
indicator has seven discrete levels, with a single point
at the bottom of the character space indicating a
signal just detectable by the tuner, and a very strong
signal indicated by four lines of increasing length
above 3 dots. Stereo indication is also provided when
the tuner is successfully decoding FM Multiplex
stereo stations. The field will be blank if stereo
reception is not possible due to weak signal
conditions or if the station is broadcasting in
monaural (mono). The field will display MONO if
Force Mono is enabled from the MENU. This indicator
and Stereo lock information will be displayed upon
tuning to a new station. If RDS Receive is ON (see
previous section), then the indicator and Stereo lock
information will be displayed momentarily until valid
RDS PSN data has been received; then it will be
replaced by that data.

are defined in the T2 Configuration software (see NV-
T2DF Configuration Software, Advanced Settings,
Categories, pg. 24). You can use the stop and pause
buttons, also labeled “Categories,” to scroll up or
down through the defined categories. Once you have
chosen a category, the Seek up and Seek down
buttons will automatically tune through any
frequency within that category selection. Again, the
categories and the frequencies within each category
must be first assigned within the T2 Configuration
software.
Configurator software allows for 10 banks each with
10 presets) and direct tune. When Direct Tune
appears on the display, a frequency can be
numerically entered using the numeric keypad on the
Display Pad. When you are entering a frequency
number, it is not necessary to enter the decimal, i.e.
102.7. The entered numbers will appear on the
display. When the ENT button is pressed, the T2 will
tune to that station.
Source Switching (radio band, aux input): The bottom
row of buttons on the Concerto Display Pad are
assigned FM, AM, WX (Weather Band), and Aux.
Changing the T2 source is done simply by pressing
one of those four buttons, (see fig. 23).
Radio Data Service: The Display Pad will scroll
received Radiotext data if the tuned station is
broadcasting it and if signal strength is sufficient.
When a defined preset is selected, the name of that
preset will appear on the display momentarily. If
Radiotext RDS data is being broadcast, it will then
automatically begin scrolling. This takes a few
moments while the information buffers.

T2 Configuration Software
Basic setup and operation of the T2 is easily done from the
front panel, the included T2RC3 remote, or the Concerto
Display Pad. The T2 package includes the T2 Configurator setup
software designed to quickly move you through the Tuners'
setup options in a methodical fashion, and allow access to the
more advanced setup features. Configurations are saved as
files in the software's “Config” folder. Once complete,
configurations can be used as templates for future
installations.

4.3 Fine Tuning: When checked, Fine Tuning changes the
tuning standard for FM from the default tuning to .05 MHz
step tuning, and AM will tune by single kHz increments, rather
than the default 10 kHz for USA and Canada, and 9 kHz for
Europe. The smaller tuning steps allow access to all station
frequencies.
4.1 Custom Regional Setup: Some countries operate at a tuning
standard outside the four preset regions. The Custom setting
allows specific parameters. One determining factor for tuning
is the “Pre-emphasis”. The two choices for this a are 50µS
(microseconds) and 75µS. The custom setting also allows for
specific setting of the minimum and maximum tuning
capability and the individual tuning steps for FM and AM.
4.3 Fine Tuning
4.1 Custom Regional Setup
4.4 Audio: Output Level increases or decreases the level of
signal from the audio output of each tuner. This setting and
balance, treble, and bass are best left at the default settings
for use with an audio distribution system such as NuVo
systems, that have built-in equalization capability. You may
want to make adjustments when the T2 is being used as a
stand-alone component with an amplifier.
4.2 Tuning Parameters: This section determines how the T2
tunes up and down. Seek/Scan Levels for each band, FM, AM,
and Weatherband sets the signal strength parameter for
searching stations. The lowest level 0 causes the tuner to stop
at any frequency with a very low signal. Level 4 (High), stops
only when a very strong signal is detected. The factory default
is Level 2 (Medium), which searches for a moderate signal.
This setting changes the necessary signal threshold, which is
the minimum signal level required for the T2 to recognize it
and lock on to the frequency.

through stations within that genre. Typical categories are
sports, talk, rock, classical. The T2 software has 38 preloaded
categories available. These are easily turned off if you do not
intend to use them, or new categories can be added to best fit
the user's needs.
5.1 High Cut: High-Cut is rarely used, but it can be a useful
function for a weaker AM signal that tends have high-
frequency hiss. This drop down menu allows you to select a
frequency cut-off for high-frequency reception. Any audio
above the chosen frequency will be filtered with a gentle roll-
off response.
6.1 Categories Tab: By highlighting categories within the
categories tab, you can then click on the On/Off button to turn
that category off. This prevents unused categories from being
displayed when scrolling through the category selections. If
you know you will not use a category, you can delete it all
together, or add a specific category that is not listed. Any of
the categories can be given a customized name by clicking on
