About the UP-HT1

① Mode selector
② Universal Port cable
③ UNIVERSALPORT
④ FM antenna jack
⑤ AM antenna terminals

Connecting the UP-HT1

Turn off your Universal Port-compatible Onkyo product. Connect the UP-HT1 to its UNIVERSAL PORT. Set the UP-HT1's Mode selector.

Setting the Mode Selector

Turn off the Universal Port-compatible Onkyo product before setting the Mode selector.

TUNER: Select this to listen to HD Radio.
- THROUGH: Select this to listen to the device connected to the UP-HT1's Universal Port, for example, an iPod in a UP-A1 dock.
- AUTO: When AUTO is selected, the source is selected automatically when the input source is changed on the Universal Port-compatible Onkyo product. For example, selecting the TUNER input source selects the UP-HT1, while selecting the

DOCK input source selects the dock (UP-A1, etc.) connected to the UP-HT1's Universal Port. Note that some Universal Port-compatible Onkyo products do not support this functionality, in which case you will need to set the Mode Selector manually.

Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna

The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.

1. Attach the FM antenna, as shown.

Once your UP-HT1 is ready for use, you'll need to tune into an FM radio station and adjust the position of the FM antenna to achieve the best possible reception.

1. Use thumbtacks or something similar to fix the FM antenna into position.

Caution: Be careful that you don't injure yourself when using thumbtacks.

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead (see page 9).

Connecting the AM Loop Antenna

The supplied indoor AM loop antenna is for indoor use only.

1. Assemble the AM loop antenna, inserting the tabs into the base, as shown.

1. Connect both wires of the AM loop antenna to the AM push terminals, as shown.

Make sure that the wires are attached securely and that the push terminals are gripping the bare wires, not the insulation.

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor AM antenna, try using it with a commercially available outdoor AM antenna.

Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead.

Notes:

• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an attic or loft.
• For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well away from tall buildings, preferably with a clear line of sight to your local FM transmitter.

• Outdoor antenna should be located away from possible noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.

• For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be situated well away from power lines and other high-voltage equipment.

• Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.

Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter

It's best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV reception, as this can cause interference problems. If circumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as shown.

Connecting an Outdoor AM Antenna

If good reception cannot be achieved using the supplied AM loop antenna, an outdoor AM antenna can be used in addition to the loop antenna, as shown.

Remote Controller

You can control the UP-HT1 with your Universal Port-compatible Onkyo product's remote controller. Aim it at your Universal Port-compatible Onkyo product, not the UP-HT1. The layout of the remote controller's buttons varies depending on the Universal Port-compatible Onkyo product you are using.

Tuning into weak stereo FM stations

If the signal from a stereo FM station is weak, it may be impossible to get good reception. In this case, switch to Manual Tuning mode and listen to the station in mono.

Tuning into Stations by Frequency

You can tune into AM and FM stations directly by entering the appropriate frequency.

1. Press the [+10] button.
2. Within 8 seconds, use the number buttons to enter the frequency of the radio station.

To select a multicast channel at the same time, use number buttons [1] to [8] to enter its number immediately after entering the station's frequency.

Listening to HD Radio™ Stations

HD Radio technology brings digital radio to conventional analog AM and FM radio stations, with improved sound quality, better reception, and new data services. HD Radio technology provides CD-quality sound for FM stations, and FM-quality sound for AM stations. In addition, FM HD Radio stations can transmit multiple programs on the same frequency by using multicast channels. Text data display includes station name, song title, artist name, and so on.

About HD Radio Stations

HD Radio stations broadcast on the same AM and FM frequencies they've always used, and you can receive them by tuning into your favorite station as normal. If the current AM or FM station supports HD Radio technology, the HD Radio indicator lights up. When an HD Radio transmission is received, the "HD SPS" indicator appears or "HD Radio" appears on the display.

• If the current AM or FM station supports HD Radio technology, the station's name will be displayed instead of the band and frequency.
• When music data is received, song title and artist name information will be displayed next to the HD indicator.
• If the current HD Radio station supports multicast channels, the currently selected multicast channel will be displayed to the right of the HD indicator.

Selecting Multicast Channels

FM HD Radio stations can transmit multiple programs on the same frequency by using what are called multicast channels.

1. Use the Left/Right Arrow [<] [/▶] buttons to select a multicast channel.

If you select a multicast channel that is not currently broadcasting, a plus [+] symbol or period [] will appear next to the HD indicator, indicating that the channel has been reserved. When broadcasting commences, that channel will be selected automatically.

Note: Multicast channels are not available on AM.

Setting the Blend Mode

HD Radio transmissions contain analog and digital signals. If available, the digital signal is used automatically. In areas with poor reception, you may want to choose the analog signal.

1. Press [ENTER] repeatedly to select Auto or Analog.

Auto: Select to use the digital signal when available.

Anlg (Analog): Select to use the analog signal.

Note: Multicast channels 2 through 8 are digital only, so you must select multicast channel #1 before you can change the Blend mode.

Displaying HD Radio Information

Press the [DISPLAY] button repeatedly to cycle through the available information.

HD channel, Artist name, and Song title are displayed in the 2nd line if the connected product has a two-line display.

Note: The exact information displayed depends on your Universal Port-compatible Onkyo product.

If your Universal Port-compatible Onkyo product supports Universal Port OSD (onscreen display), HD Radio information can be displayed on your TV.

Note: This information is displayed only when receiving HD Radio.

RDS stands for Radio Data System and is a method of transmitting data in FM radio signals. RDS is approved by the National Radio Systems Committee (NRSC) and is available in North America.

Many FM stations use it these days. In addition to displaying text information, RDS can also help you find radio stations by type (e.g., news, sport, rock, etc.). This product supports the following types of RDS information: Program Service Name (PS), Radio Text (RT), and Program Type (PTY).

Displaying RDS Information

The RDS indicator lights up when tuned to an FM radio station that supports RDS.

Press the [DISPLAY] button repeatedly to cycle through the available information.

1. Program Service Name

When tuned to an RDS station that's broadcasting PS information, the station's name will be displayed.

2. Frequency

The frequency of the RDS station is displayed.

3. Radio Text

When tuned to an RDS station that's broadcasting RT text information, the text will be shown on the display.

4. Program Type

When tuned to an RDS station that's broadcasting PTY information, the type of program will be displayed.

Note: If the signal from an RDS station is weak, RDS data may be displayed intermittently or not at all.
