The MT 100 is a full-function remotecontrollable FM Stereo Tuner. It has fixed-level low-impedance audio outputs to feed a Myryad integrated amplifier or preamplifier ­ or other high quality amplifier. A coaxial antenna socket is provided for a 75 FM radio (Band 2) antenna. [. . . ] In this mode the internal circuitry of the MT 100 is powered up but disabled, so that it consumes very little power and its audio output is muted by a relay. When the STANDBY button is pressed the MT 100 circuitry will be activated, and, after a few seconds delay, the audio outputs will be enabled. During this delay period the LED in the STANDBY button will flash blue. When the outputs are de-muted it will glow green continuously. When the STANDBY button is pressed again the Tuner will be returned to standby mode. The LED in the STANDBY button will glow red again and the display will be extinguished. CAUTION: WHEN IN STANDBY MODE THE INTERNAL CIRCUITRY OF THE MT 100 IS STILL LIVE, SO ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED. The operation of the tuner is indicated on a high quality blue Vacuum Fluorescent Display. The tuned frequency is always displayed to the left, together with the Preset Number, Signal Strength or SCH to indicate the selected tuning mode (see below, sections 7, 8 and 9). i. e. if station 3 is not programmed, the tuner will skip from station 2 to station 4. If the tuner is stepped beyond the highest number preset stored, it will "wrap-around" and step back to the lowest numbered preset. Preset Display Mode (Figure 2) 4 Stereo indicator This indicator is illuminated when a stereo broadcast is being received and the tuner is not switched to MONO mode. NOTE: PRESET MODE CANNOT BE ENTERED UNTIL AT LEAST ONE STATION HAS BEEN PROGRAMMED (SEE SECTION 11 ­ STORE BUTTON) Wire antenna (Figure 1) Antenna connectors and adaptors 5 On tune indicator This indicator is illuminated when any FM signal, above a very low threshold, is received and is ON TUNE. 8 Manual tuning mode Press the MANUAL button to enter Manual Tuning mode. The display shows the tuned frequency, together with a Signal strength indication (see Figure 3). When the tuning knob is rotated clockwise the tuned frequency will increase by 50kHz at each click step or decrease by 50kHz per click for an anticlockwise rotation. Correct tuning can be obtained either by setting the correct frequency, if it is known, or by tuning until the ON TUNE indicator illuminates ­ which indicates accurate tuning. Once the station is tuned its frequency may be stored as one of the Presets if desired (see above). The signal strength indicator will display a number from 1 to 9, preceded by the letters "SI". A signal strength of "­" indicates no signal, whilst a signal strength of 9 indicates a very strong signal. Normally an indication of 4 or 5 is necessary for a useable signal in stereo, while a figure of 7 should ensure that lowest noise reception is obtained in stereo. If the signal strength of a station tuned in Preset mode is required, 5 Line outputs These outputs are suited to the "TUNER" or other "Line" inputs (e. g. CD or AUX) of any integrated amplifier or pre-amplifier. Never connect to the amplifier's PHONO inputs. 6 Tuning knob The tuning knob is used to set the frequency in MANUAL, PRESET and SEARCH modes. [. . . ] When the tuning knob is turned one step clockwise the MT 100 will commence searching for FM stations at frequencies higher than the start point and the display will change to "SCH" during SEARCH (see Figure 4). If the knob is rotated anti-clockwise the MT 100 will search lower frequencies. When the first station of adequate signal strength is detected the MT 100 will stop searching, the display will return to "SCn" to show the signal strength and the ON TUNE indicator will illuminate. Once the station is tuned, its frequency may be stored as one of the Presets if desired (see below), or the search initiated again by rotating the tuning knob in the required direction. [. . . ]
