[. . . ] You may want to turn off the main power switch when your Preamplifier Tuner will be idle for extended periods of time or during periods of power line fluctuations. Your Preamplifier Tuner will not lose its memory while the main power switch is off. 3/($6( :$, 7 From Remote can't turn off main power from remote From Front Panel POWER ON/OFF Action main power on/off SLEEP Normally you will simply put your Preamplifier Tuner to sleep (standby) when not in use. Sleep mode keeps a bare minimum of functions running in order to allow remote control operation and fast start up. Note that the front panel SLEEP button is lit while your Preamplifier Tuner is asleep and is off when your Preamplifier Tuner is operating. The front panel alphanumeric display is off during sleep. Also note that the supplied IR remote's POWER button is a toggle to put your Preamplifier Tuner in and out of sleep. The remote control also has separate OFF and ON buttons.

The front panel display will indicate which LEVEL is currently being modified (VOLUME, BALANCE, BASS, or TREBLE). The VOLUME KNOB never controls volume in the menu system. During normal operation the VOLUME KNOB may switch to controlling other functions but will return to MASTER LEVEL after a few seconds. The remote's VOL - or VOL + will always change master volume level except in the SOURCE LEVEL menus. 12 P/N 13010 REV 0005 CHOOSING A SOURCE In general, the selected source will appear at the PREAMP outputs and the TAPE output.

Manual Tuning - press TUNE + or TUNE - to tune the frequency UP or DOWN in single 10 kHz steps for AM or 200 kHz steps for FM. (9 kHz and 100 kHz steps for European version. ) Direct Frequency Entry Tuning - for a few seconds after performing any tuner operation (TUNER, BAND, AM, FM or TUNE+/-) you may directly enter a frequency from the remote control's numeric keypad. Seek Tuning - Holding the remote TUNE +/- button will cause the tuner to SEEK (tune up or down automatically stopping on strong stations). Once the tuner has started seeking you can let go of the button. Once a station is found you must let go of the button before you can change frequencies again. In strong signal areas the tuner may stop one step above or below the true frequency. [. . . ] Cycle the Preamplifier Tuner's front panel POWER switch to OFF then back to ON. No sound, display on.
