Model NV-T3
3-in-1 AM/ FM Tuner
Introduction
Imagine the capability to enjoy AM news in the den … soft rock FM in the kitchen … and a smooth jazz
FM station in the bedroom … all at the same time and without having to purchase three separate tuners.
With the introduction of the NUVO™3-IN-1 AM/FM tuner, this dream is now a reality.
The NUVO™3-in-1 provides three independent AM/FM tuners in one convenient and affordable package.
Using the handy NUVO™ RC1 remote, you can easily control the 3-in-1 from anywhere in your home.
With separate IR (infrared) codes for each tuner, it’s simple to choose preset stations, adjust volume
levels, switch from AM to FM, mute a specific tuner, and more - all with one NUVO™ remote control.
There’s no need for multiple remotes!
The NUVO™3-in-1 Tuner can be used with most any audio system. But when combined with a NUVO™
or Kustom multi-source, multi-zone system, you get complete control, convenience, and flexibility.
That’s the magic of NUVO™.
