Cleaning Unplug the unit from the mains supply before cleaning. The case should normally only require a wipe with a soft, damp, lintfree cloth. Do not use paint thinners or other chemical solvents for cleaning. [. . . ] Try each usable wall of the room to see which gives best reception. Use tacks or adhesive tape to secure the aerial in a T-shape. The tacks should not come into contact with the internal wire of the aerial. Whether you decide to get an aerial professionally installed or opt to use the supplied aerial it should be connected to the FM Antenna input 7 on the rear of the unit. For use in North America, use an F-type antenna connector; for Europe and other areas, use a female Belling Lee-type coaxial connector. SETTING UP THE TUNER AM STEP SWITCH 5 The AM tuning `step size' needs to be set according to your location. This is done using the switch on the rear panel: set it to 10kHz if you are in North America, or 9kHz anywhere else. This switch also ensures correct reproduction of FM broadcasts for your location. AM AERIAL An AM aerial is required to receive AM/Medium Wave radio signals. An external AM loop aerial is supplied as an accessory. This should be attached to the AM Antenna inputs with one end connected to AM 9 and the other to Ground 8. It does not matter which way round this aerial is fitted. Rotate the aerial to discover which position gives the best reception. In areas of weak reception or when the receiver is used inside a steel framed building (such as an apartment building) you can use a wire between 3 and 5 metres long to strengthen reception. Advanced programmable control devices, such as the Philips `Pronto' and other system controllers, can be set up to use the additional codes. Refer to the instructions for your programmable device for details. A table of IR commands is provided on page 10 of this Handbook. CONNECTING TO A POWER SUPPLY WRONG PLUG? Check that the plug supplied with the unit fits your supply and that your mains supply voltage agrees with the voltage setting switch (115V or 230V) indicated on the rear panel of the unit 2. If your mains supply voltage is different, switch the voltage selector across using a small screwdriver. MAINS LEAD The appliance is normally supplied with a moulded mains plug already fitted to the lead. If for any reason the plug needs to be removed, it must be disposed of immediately and securely, as it is a potential shock hazard when inserted into the mains socket. Should you require a new mains lead, contact your Arcam dealer. PLUGGING IN Push the plug (IEC line socket) of the power cable supplied with the unit into the POWER INLET socket 1 in the back of the unit. Put the plug on the other end of the cable into your power supply socket and switch the socket on. 5 Englis h Using your tuner T31 AM/FM RDS TUNER PRESET FM MUTE STEREO SIGNAL TUNED MHz 1­9 2 ­ 10 3 ­ 11 4 ­ 12 5 ­ 13 6 ­ 14 7 ­ 15 8 ­ 16 TUNING BAND RDS MONO STORE POWER 1 67 8 9 bk 2 3 4 5 bl bm FRONT PANEL CONTROLS Preset Memory buttons 1 Directly select up to 32 preset stations (16 AM, 16 FM).
