2. ALARM 1/ALARM 2: Briefly press and hold Alarm 1 or 2. A beep will confirm you are in the alarm set-up mode and the corresponding green LED will illuminate. Rotate and press the Volume knob in to adjust and set the hour (which also determines AM and PM (Figure 1) and minutes (Figure 2) and press in to set and move to the next setting. Note, adjusting the hour does not affect the min-utes and vise-versa. Set the alarm source (Figure 3 and 4) and alarm volume (Figure 5) in the same manner. Setting the alarm source to “Bluetooth/AUX” will cause the alarm to wake to a tone. You will not be able to set the alarm source to CD if a CD isn’t loaded inside. Bluetooth cannot be selected as an alarm source. When the alarm LED is off, press the Alarm button once to set the alarm. The display will show the time the alarm is set to wake. When the alarm LED is on, press the Alarm button briefly to turn it off. If the alarm is set and power is lost, the alarm will still sound (the tone will sound in place of radio or CD) at the designated time provided fresh batteries are correctly installed in the rear battery compartment. When the alarm activates (Alarm LED flashes) you may either turn the unit off and keep the alarm set for the next day, press the Snooze button to temporarily mute the alarm for 7 minutes, or briefly press the Alarm button to cancel activation,turning the unit off, and keeping the alarm set to wake the next day.
   Note: The non-US model uses a 24 hour clock format.

3. PRESETS 1–6: Press and hold to memorize the tuned station to that particular preset. A beep will sound confirming the station has been successfully stored. Press briefly to recall the sta-tion associated with that preset. There are 6 FM presets and 6 AM presets. If a Preset button is pressed but no station has been set, the display will show “Preset Empty” for 2 seconds. These buttons will also act as limited direct track access during CD playback. The same station cannot be saved to more than 1 preset.

4. SOURCE: Briefly press to cycle through the sources: FM, AM, CD, and Bluetooth/AUX. To activate Bluetooth, go to the Bluetooth/AUX source position and follow the steps outlined in the “Blutooth Operation” section. The source can’t be changed while the alarm is sounding. If the source is changed during CD playback and the source is changed back to CD again, the CD will start playback from the first track.

5. SLEEP: With the Music System BT playing FM, AM, CD, or an auxiliary device, briefly press to begin the 20 minute Sleep timer. The corresponding green LED will illuminate while the Sleep timer is active and the display will countdown the remaining Sleep time. The Music System BT will power off automatically at the end of the Sleep cycle. Sleep cannot be activated in CD mode unless a CD is loaded. Note RDS and CD Text will not be displayed in Sleep mode.

6. / TUNE +/–: Press the Tune +/- buttons briefly to Auto Scan to the next station detected. See “Auto Scan” under “Menu” on how to disable Auto Scan and tune stations manually. CD: Briefly press to advance to the next track on a disc or back to a previous track if the track has been playing for under 10 seconds. If the track has been playing for more than 10 seconds, pressing the button will re-start the currently playing track. Using these buttons during shuffle play may cause tracks to repeat.

7. STOP: Press to stop CD playback and return to the first track.

8. PLAY/PAUSE: With a CD loaded, briefly press to initiate disc playback. Press during playback to Pause playback and press again to resume playback. If the CD is paused for more than 5 consecutive minutes it will revert to Stop.

9. Briefly press to fast forward or fast reverse in approximately 10 second intervals. Press again to resume normal playback or press Play. These functions are not on the remote control. Due to the nature of MP3 CDs, using the fast reverse will cause the CD to stop playback once it reaches the start of the track. Also note fast forward and fast reverse will not operate during CD Intro mode. Pressing the fast scan buttons ( ) during shuffle play may cause tracks to repeat.

10. EJECT: Press to Eject a CD. The display will show “Ejecting”. This button is to eject only and should NOT be used to load a CD. Always remove the disc in a straight position with-out bending the disc. In the unlikely event you experience an error or a disc remains stuck inside, disconnect the power cord for 60 seconds and reconnect firmly.

11. CLOCK: Press and hold to set the hour first. A beep will confirm you are in the clock set mode. Use the volume knob to select the hour (Figure 6) and then press the volume knob in to set and cycle to the minutes (Figure 7). The hour determines AM or PM. Adjusting the hour does not affect the minutes and vise-versa. Repeat this process to set the year, month and the day (Figure 8, 9 and 10). Once set, press the Clock button briefly to recall the date and time whenever RDS or CD text is displayed. When the date is shown, only the month and day will show (not the year).

12. VOLUME/MENU/TREBLE: Rotate clockwise to increase the volume or counter-clockwise to decrease the volume. The volume level is represented in numbers from 0 (no output) to 30 (maximum output). If the volume ever sounds distorted, reduce the level immediately. In any mode, push and hold the knob to access the menu. See section marked “Menu”. Push in and rotate counter-clockwise to reduce the treble or clockwise to increase the treble. Press the volume knob in to set or the setting will store automatically and the display will return to its pre-vious state. This knob is also used to adjust and enter selections (by pushing the knob in) when setting the Clock and Alarms. Adjusting the volume during Snooze will cancel the Snooze mode.

13. AUDIO: Push briefly to cycle through Stereo, SpacePhase™ Wide mode, or Mono audio settings. The SpacePhase™ Wide mode setting is designed to create a more expansive soundstage, while the Mono setting reduces multiplex noise on weak FM stations, making otherwise unlistenable stations listenable. Regardless of the previous audio setting, the SpacePhase™ Wide mode will automatically engage each time the Music System BT is turned on.
    EQ: To temporarily turn the EQ off, press and hold the Audio button. The display will show “EQ Off” and a confirmation beep will sound. The EQ will engage again automatically the next time the Music System BT is turned on. To keep the EQ off, press and hold the Audio button and the display will show “EQ Always Off” and a confirmation beep will sound. The EQ will remain off until “EQ On” is selected. The EQ differs from Audio in that it enhances lower frequencies primarily at lower volume levels. We suggest the rear Bass level be set to the center detent position. Should the bass ever sound distorted, immediately lower the bass level and/or volume. For more, see the section marked “Getting the most from your Music System BT.”

14. DISPLAY: When in FM mode, briefly press repeatedly to select between RDS Scrolling Text,(Figure 11), Static Text, or RDS Off. If a station is not broadcasting in RDS or the RDS signal is too weak, no RDS text will be shown. In cases where the signal is weakly received the text may be scrambled. Note the AM band does not utilize RDS text. For more, see “Reception/RDS”. RDS text will not be shown in Sleep mode. When playing a CD, press repeatedly to select between CD Scrolling Text, Static Text, or CD Text Off. If the inserted CD does not contain CD text (Figure 12), then this feature cannot be enabled. Not all commercial music CDs contain CD Text. CD text will not be shown in Sleep mode.

15. SNOOZE/MUTE (Top of Cabinet): When the Alarm activates, press this button to silence the alarm for 7 minutes. The display will count down the remaining Snooze time. Adjusting the volume level will cancel the Snooze mode. During normal operation, press this button to mute the audio. The display will show “Muted”. Press again to restore the audio output or adjust the volume level.

16. HEADPHONE OUT: Connect a set of headphones (not included) to this variable stereo output for pri-vate listening. Plugging in the headphones will mute the primary speakers. The headphone’s volume is adjusted using the front panel volume knob. This stereo output accepts a 3.5 mm stereo male mini connector. Avoid using headphones at high volume levels to prevent possible hearing damage.

17. OPTICAL SENSOR: Automatically adjusts the display brightness based on ambient lighting con-ditions. The display will dim in darker environments and brighten in brighter conditions. Do not obstruct this sensor.

18. IR SENSOR: Receives signals from the included remote control. Do not obstruct this sensor.

19. SLOT-LOAD: Insert a disc (with printing side facing up) until it is drawn inside. The display will say “Loading”. Disc functions will not work while the disc is loading. Playback will begin auto-matically once the table of contents is read. The display will show “No Disc” when the unit is set to CD mode and there is no CD inside. When ejecting a CD the display will show “Ejecting”. For more, see “Important Notes About the CD Player.”

Guide To Features (Rear Panel)

1. FM ANTENNA SWITCH: Switch between internal and external FM antennas. If an external antenna is used, the switch should be in the External position. This switch has no affect on AM reception.
2. EXTERNAL FM ANTENNA INPUT: In most cases FM reception will be improved by sliding the included external FM antenna over this “F” connector and setting the antenna switch to External. To avoid damage, when removing the FM antenna, never pull it by the white cord. Always grasp the antenna’s black connector firmly and pull it straight out. For more, see the section marked “Reception”.
3. EXTERNAL AM ANTENNA INPUT: Connect the supplied external AM antenna’s 3.5 mm stereo male mini connector. Assemble the integrated base, (Figure 13) and adjust for best reception for each station. There will be no AM reception unless the AM antenna is connected. For more, see the section marked “Reception”.
4. AUX IN: To hear audio from another device such as a TV or MP3 player, connect said device’s audio output to this stereo input and set the Source button to AUX. Switching to the Auxiliary position does not turn on the connected device. This stereo input accepts a 3.5 mm stereo male mini connector. Note you may need to adjust the volume level differently for an auxiliary device than the level used for radio or CD listening.
5. MIX IN: Connect your computer’s (or other device’s) audio output to this input to hear its audio mixed in with the tuner, CD, or auxiliary device if one is connected. The volume level of this input must be adjusted at the source. This input accepts a 3.5 mm male stereo mini connector.
6. REC OUT: You can record from the Music System BT by connecting a cassette deck’s audio input (or other recording device) to this fixed level stereo output. The primary speakers will not be muted when using this output. This jack accepts a 3.5 mm stereo male mini connector.
7. BASS LEVEL: Turn this control knob to the right to increase the bass volume level or to the left to decrease the bass volume level. The subwoofer is designed to subtly augment the lower bass frequencies, not overpower the sound. Tivoli Audio recommends setting this knob to the center detent position. If the bass should ever sound distorted, immediately lower the bass level control and/or the front volume control.
8. POWER INPUT: Connect the supplied power cord to this input and plug the cord into a wall outlet not controlled by a switch. If the power cord is removed from the unit or unplugged from the wall outlet, please wait 60 seconds before plugging the cord back into the Music System BT. When power is restored the unit will auto eject a CD if one is inside.
9. BATTERY COMPARTMENT: Properly install the included “AA” batteries to maintain the clock and alarm settings during a power outage. Check the batteries annually. The display will show “No Batteries” if there are no batteries installed or the batteries have no or low power. Dispose of spent batteries according to your state/country’s regulations. When operating on the battery back-up power, the Music System BT’s display and LEDs will not illuminate in order to conserve power, but if set, the alarm will still sound at the designated time. In such a case, the tone will sound instead of the radio or CD to further conserve battery power.

• The Music System BT will remember pairing information for up to 8 devices. Additional devices can be paired, but the least-recently used device will be replaced by the newly paired device.
• If the audio drops out or stops during playback, move your device closer to the Music System BT, or check to be sure another wireless device is not interfering with the signal.
• When switching from Bluetooth to AM, FM, or CD, you may need to re-adjust (lower) the radio’s volume level.

Important Notes About the CD Player

• The display does not show the total disc time for MP3/WMA CDs due to their often very lengthy table of contents. Total time will be shown for commercial music CDs but if either track +/- but-tons are pressed, the total time will disappear since the initial mode was changed
• Playback will be delayed slightly while the table of contents is read.
• Disc functions will not work while the disc is loading.
• Do not use the Eject button to load a CD.
• Changing sources while a CD is playing causes the CD to stop playback. Playback will resume when the source is set to CD again.
• The sound quality of MP3, CD-R/CD-RW, and even commercially recorded discs can vary greatly. The same holds true for the sound quality of portable MP3 players.
• Do NOT use any CD lens cleaning discs since these are not designed for slot-load machines.
• Avoid bending the disc when loading or ejecting.
• Do not move the unit while a disc is playing and do not ship the unit with a CD inside.
• Do not try to insert a disc in the slot if one is already inside the unit.
• Do not insert specially shaped discs or 3″ CD “single” discs.
• You may experience a delay in playback when inserting MP3 or WMA discs while the player reads the directory.
• Paper labels stuck to CD-R/CD-RWs may become loose and possibly damage the player.
• CDs with severe scratches may not play properly.
• Do not insert anything except a CD inside the loading slot.
• In the rare event you experience an error, unplug the power cord for 60 seconds and then plug it back in firmly.\

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 SpacePhase™ 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 dif-ferent 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 SpacePhase™ Wide) mode.
3. Should you ever experience a problem, remove the batteries and the power cord for 60 seconds, 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.

Placement

Place the Music System BT 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 CD player built-into the Music System BT has excellent shock protection, but it is not shock proof. We therefore recommend the Music System BT be placed on a flat, level surface that is not subject to vibration.
The Music System BT is shielded and may be placed near or below a TV or computer monitor.

Cleaning

For your own safety, be sure the Music System BT is disconnected from the power outlet during cleaning. 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.
