Precautions

1. Recording Copyright

—Unless it’s for personal use

only, recording copyrighted material is illegal with-

out the permission of the copyright holder.

2. AC Fuse

—The AC fuse inside the unit is not user-

serviceable. If you cannot turn on the unit, contact

your Onkyo dealer.

3. Care

—Occasionally you should dust the unit all

over with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft

cloth dampened with a weak solution of mild deter-

gent and water. Dry the unit immediately afterwards

with a clean cloth. Don’t use abrasive cloths, thin-

ners, alcohol, or other chemical solvents, because

they may damage the ﬁnish or remove the panel let-

tering.

4. Power

WARNING

BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE

FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SEC-

TION CAREFULLY.

AC outlet voltages vary from country to country.

nally bought it.

• Do not leave rubber or plastic items on this unit

for a long time, because they may leave marks on

the case.

• This unit’s top and rear panels may get warm

after prolonged use. This is normal.

• If you do not use this unit for a long time, it may

not work properly the next time you turn it on, so

be sure to use it occasionally.

For British models

Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power

supply cord of this unit should be performed only by

qualiﬁed service personnel.

IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance

with the following code:

Blue: Neutral

apparatus may not correspond with the coloured mark-

ings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as

follows:

The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to

the terminal which is marked with the letter N or

coloured black.

The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to

the terminal which is marked with the letter L or

coloured red.

IMPORTANT

The plug is ﬁtted with an appropriate fuse. If the fuse

needs to be replaced, the replacement fuse must

approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362 and have the same

ampere rating as that indicated on the plug. Check for

the ASTA mark or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse.

If the power cord’s plug is not suitable for your socket

outlets, cut if off and ﬁt a suitable plug. Fit a suitable

fuse in the plug.

For European Models

Memory backup

The T-433 uses a battery-less memory backup system in

order to retain radio presets and other settings when it’s

unplugged or in the case of a power failure. Although no

batteries are required, the T-433 must be plugged into

an AC outlet in order to charge the backup system.

Once it has been charged, the T-433 will retain the set-

tings for several weeks, although this depends on the

environment and will be shorter in humid climates.

The clock setting is not retained by the backup system.

Connecting the T-433

—Continued

To use the T-433’s timers with your other Onkyo Sepa-

rate Collection components, connect the power cords,

cables, and audio cables as shown below.

• Be sure to connect the T-433’s power cord to an

unswitched AC outlet, one that supplies power con-

tinuously.

• Be sure to make the necessary audio cable connec-

tions. Refer to the A-933’s instruction manual for

details.

Note:

When you use the T-433’s clock or timer functions,

connect the T-433’s power cord to an AC outlet that

supplies power continuously.

The T-433 has an AC OUTLET on its rear panel. This

can be used to connect the power cord of another audio

component that you intend to use with the T-433.

Caution:

Make sure that the maximum power requirement of the

component connected to the AC OUTLET does not

exceed the capacity printed on the T-433’s rear panel

(100W).

Use the supplied audio cable to connect the T-433’s

OUT L/R jacks to the analog input jacks on the ampli-

ﬁer, as shown.

To use the system functions, use the supplied

cable to make an connection.

Notes:

• The T-433 has two jacks. They’re both the same,

so you can use either one.

•To use , you must make an audio connection

between the T-433 and the other component.

• Use only dedicated cables for connections.

• If the T-433 is used with another component from the

Onkyo Separate Collection, such as the A-933, refer

to its instruction manual as well.

Connecting Antennas

This section explains how to connect the supplied

indoor FM antenna and AM loop antenna and how to

connect commercially available outdoor FM and AM

antennas.

The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied

indoor FM antenna, try using a commercially available

outdoor FM antenna instead.

The supplied indoor AM loop antenna is for indoor use

only.

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied

indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commer-

cially available outdoor AM antenna.

Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna

Attach the FM antenna, as shown.

Once your T-433 is ready for use, you’ll need to

tune into an FM radio station and adjust the posi-

tion of the FM antenna to achieve the best possi-

ble reception.

Use thumbtacks or something similar to

ﬁx the FM antenna into position.

Caution:

Be careful that you don’t injure your-

self when using thumbtacks.

FM antenna jack

AM antenna push terminals

Insert the plug fully

into the jack.

Thumbtacks, etc.

Connecting the AM Loop Antenna

Assemble the AM loop antenna, inserting

the tabs into the base, as shown.

Connect both wires of the AM loop

antenna to the AM push terminals, as

shown.

The antenna connection is polarity sensitive.

Connect the black wire to the ground terminal

( ). Connect the other wire to the other terminal.

Make sure that the wires are attached securely

and that the push terminals are gripping the bare

wires, not the insulation.

Once your T-433 is ready for use, you’ll need to

tune into an AM radio station and adjust the posi-

tion of the AM antenna to achieve the best possi-

ble reception.

Keep the antenna as far away as possible from

your T-433, TV, speaker cables, and power cords.

Connecting Antennas

—Continued

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied

indoor FM antenna, try using a commercially available

outdoor FM antenna instead.

Notes:

• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but accept-

able 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 possi-

ble noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.

•For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be situ-

ated well away from power lines and other high volt-

age equipment.

• Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance

with local regulations to prevent electrical shock haz-

ards.

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.

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.

Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed outside

horizontally, but good results can sometimes be

obtained indoors by mounting horizontally above a win-

dow. Note that the AM loop antenna should be left con-

nected.

Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with

local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.

Setting Accuclock to a Speciﬁc Station

The Accuclock function normally uses the FM station

with the strongest signal to set the clock. If the clock

cannot be set properly using that station, you can spec-

ify which FM station the Accuclock function uses. This

must be an FM station that supports RDS CT (Clock

Time) information.

Before proceeding, turn on the T-433.

Notes:

• If the clock does not set correctly, specify another FM

station and try again, or set the clock manually (see

page 21).

• If you don’t want the clock to be updated automati-

cally each day, you can turn off the Accuclock func-

tion (see page 15).

Listening to the Radio

You can store up to 30 of your favorite radio stations as

presets for quick selection. Stations can be preset auto-

matically using the Auto Preset function or manually.

Notes:

•You can preset up to 30 FM/AM stations. If you try to

store more than this, the message “FULL” will appear

on the display.

• Using the remote controller while listening to an AM

radio station may cause interference.

• If the power cord is disconnected, or the power is off

for more than 2 weeks, the preset settings may be

lost, in which case, you’ll need to store them again.

With the Auto Preset function, you can search and store

all of the radio stations available in your area in one go.

Notes:

• All existing presets will be replaced when the Auto

Preset function is used.

• Be sure that your antennas are positioned so as to

obtain the best possible reception (see page 12).

Note:

Depending on your location, a preset may be stored

with no station and you’ll hear only noise when you

select it. In this case, delete the preset (see page 19).

Here you can tune into stations individually and store

them as presets. This allows you to store stations in any

order you like.

Notes:

•You can store up to 30 stations, and this can be any

combination of FM and AM stations. For example, 17

FM stations and 13 AM stations, or 8 FM stations and

22 AM stations.

• Although the numbering schemes for FM and AM

presets both start at 1, it doesn’t matter because FM

and AM presets are selected independently.

• Stations can be stored to presets in any order. For

example, you could store some AM stations to presets

2, 1, 9, and so on.

Presetting All Stations Automatically

(Auto Preset)

Press and hold the [MEMORY]

button for about 5 seconds until

auto tuning starts.

When the [MEMORY] button is

pressed, ﬁrst, the MEM indicator lights

up. Next, “AUTO PRESET” ﬂashes on

the display, followed by the tuning fre-

quency, and then auto tuning starts.

When a station is found, auto tuning

stops and the indicator lights up.

Starting at the bottom of the frequency

band, the T-433 automatically tunes

and stores up to 20 FM stations, then

up to 10 AM stations.

RDS stands for

Radio Data System

and is a method of

transmitting data in FM radio signals. Many FM sta-

tions use it these days.

The T-433 supports the following types of RDS data:

■

PS: Program Service Name

When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting PS

information, the station’s name appears on the display.

■

RT: Radio Text

When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting RT

text information, the text scrolls across the display.

Note:

If the signal from an RDS station is weak, RDS data

maybe displayed intermittently or not at all.

Displaying Radio Text (RT)

Note:

You must be tuned to an FM station that supports RT

(Radio Text) in order to display any text.

Notes:

• If the current station does not support RDS, only the

frequency, preset name (see page 18), and clock will

be displayed. If the current preset has no name, only

the frequency and clock will be displayed.

• In some cases, it may take between 2 and 15 seconds

for the RT text to be displayed.

• The message “Waiting” may appear while the RT

data is being received.

• When tuned to an RDS station that’s not transmitting

any RT data, the message “No Text” will be dis-

played.

Using the Timers

The T-433 has ﬁve timers: four programmable timers

for automated playback or recording, and a sleep timer

for turning the system off after a speciﬁed time.

The timers can be used with other Onkyo Separate Col-

lection components that are connected to the A-933 via

(see page 11 for connection details).

The settings for the four programmable timers are

explained here. For details on using the sleep timer, see

page 27.

Timer Types

Each timer can be programmed to PLAY or REC.

■

PLAY

PLAY mode can be used to start playback on a compo-

nent at a speciﬁed time. The component must be con-

nected to the A-933 with an cable. You could use a

PLAY timer to turn on the T-433 every morning, just

like a radio alarm.

■

REC

REC mode can be used to start playback on one compo-

nent and start recording on another component both at a

speciﬁed time. The recording component (e.g., Onkyo

MD recorder or cassette deck) and playback component

must both be connected to the A-933 with an cable.

You could use a REC timer to record your favorite radio

show everyday.

Playback & Recording Components

The playback component can be the T-433 (FM or AM),

another Onkyo component (CD player, MD recorder,

cassette deck, etc) that’s connected to the A-933 with an

cable, or a component with its own built-in timer

that’s connected to an audio input on the A-933.

The recording component can be an Onkyo MD

recorder or cassette deck that’s connect to the A-933

with an cable.

Repeat Timers

Each timer can be programmed to work just once

(ONCE), every week (EVERY), every day (EVERY

DAY), or on a range of days (DAYS SET).

■

ONCE

The timer will work just once.

■

EVERY

The timer will work every week on the speciﬁed day

and time.

• EVERYDAY

The timer will work every day.

•DAYS SET

The timer will work on the speciﬁed range of days. With

this setting, you could set up a morning alarm for Mon-

day through Friday.

Timer Usage Examples

Here are three typical applications for the timers.

■

TIMER 1: Early morning radio alarm

PLAY–FM–1–EVERY–EVERYDAY–7:00–7:30

■

TIMER 2: Record a radio show this Sunday

REC–FM–4–TAPE–ONCE–SUN–10:00–12:00

■

TIMER 3: Record an FM radio show to MDR

everyday from Monday through Friday.

REC–FM–1–MD–EVERY–DAYS SET–MON–

FRI–15:00–15:30

Notes:

• Make sure that the T-433, the playback component,

and the recording component are all properly con-

nected to the A-933. Poor connections may cause

timed playback or recording to fail.

• During timed recording, the A-933 is muted. To listen

to the sound during recording, press the remote con-

troller’s [MUTING] button.

• While timed playback or recording is in progress, the

timer’s start and end times cannot be changed.

• The timers cannot be set if the clock has not been set,

so set the clock ﬁrst (see page 14).

• Pressing the [TIMER] button while timed playback or

recording is in progress will turn off the current timer.

•Even if the T-433’s clock is set correctly, recording

may not start exactly at the speciﬁed time if the

recording component requires a few moments to read

CD or MD (TOC) information before it begins

recording. For this reason, it’s recommended that you

set the recording start time about 1 minute early.

About the Timer Display

When one of the timers has been set, the TIMER indica-

tor is shown on the display. While a timer that has been

set is on, its number is displayed. A square ( ) around a

number indicates that it’s a REC timer.

Timer Priority

If two or more timers are set to start at the same time on

the same day, the lower numbered timer has priority and

the other timer is ignored.

Timer 1:

12:00–13:00 (This timer has priority.)

Timer 2:

12:00–12:30

If the times of two or more timers overlap on the same

day, the timer with the earliest start time has priority and

the other timer is ignored.

Timer 1

: 9:00–10:00

Timer 2

: 8:00–10:00 (This timer has priority.)

Troubleshooting

If you have any trouble using the T-433, look for a solution here. If you can’t resolve the issue yourself, contact your

Onkyo dealer.

■

Can’t turn on the T-433.

• Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged into the wall outlet (page 11, 14).

• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait ﬁve seconds or more, then plug it in again.

■

The T-433 turns off unexpectedly.

• If the sleep timer has been set, and the TIMER indicator is shown on the display, the T-433 will turn off automatically

after a speciﬁed period.

• When timed playback or recording ﬁnishes, the T-433 automatically switches to Standby mode.

■

There’s no sound.

• The T-433 is not connected properly. Check all connections and correct as necessary.

• The wrong input source is selected on your ampliﬁer. Check your ampliﬁer’s input source setting. Refer to your

ampliﬁer’s manual.

• Check if the A-933’s MAIN IN function is on. Refer to the A-933’s instruction manual.

• Make sure the ampliﬁer’s volume control is not set to minimum.

■

Reception is noisy, stereo FM reception suffers from hiss, the Auto Preset function doesn’t preset all stations,

or the ST indicator doesn’t light up when tuned to a stereo FM station.

• Check the antenna connections.

• Change the position of the antenna.

•Move the T-433 away from a nearby TV or computer.

•Move power cords and speaker cables as far away as possible from the tuner’s antenna.

• Cars or airplanes can cause noisy interference.

• The radio signal will be weakened if it has to pass through a concrete wall before reaching the antenna.

•Try setting FM mode to mono.

• When listening to an AM station, noise may be heard when you operate the remote controller.

• If none of the above improves the reception, install an outdoor antenna.

■

Timed playback or recording doesn’t work.

• Make sure the clock has been set correctly. If the clock has not been set, timed playback or recording is not possible.

• If a component is On at the speciﬁed start time, the timer will have no effect, so be sure to set the component to

Standby beforehand.

• If the settings of two or more timers overlap, some of the timers will not work, so make sure they do not overlap.

• Make sure that the and audio cables are connected properly.

• Check the settings on the playback and recording components. (Timer recording is not possible with a CDR.)

•For timed recording with an MD recorder, use its analog audio input.

■

The A-933’s remote controller doesn’t work.

• Point the remote controller at the A-933’s remote sensor (page 9).

•To use , you must make an connection and an audio connection between the A-933 and T-433 (page 11).

• Check if the A-933’s MAIN IN function is on. Refer to the A-933’s instruction manual.

Power

Audio

Radio

Remote Controller

The T-433 contains a microcomputer for signal processing and control functions. In very rare

situations, severe interference, noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause it to

lockup. In the unlikely event that this should happen, unplug the power cord, wait at least ﬁve

seconds, and then plug it again.

To reset the T-433 to its factory defaults, turn it on and, while holding down the [MEMORY] button,

press the [STANDBY/ON] button. “CLEAR” will appear on the display and the T-433 will enter

Standby mode.
