It has fixed-level low-impedance audio outputs to drive a Myryad integrated amplifier or pre-amplifier - or other high quality amplifier. A coaxial antenna socket is provided for a 75 FM radio (band 2) antenna, and spring terminal block for an AM loop antenna (supplied). In addition the MXT2000 has a Smart My-Link® control input/output for communication with other Myryad products. [. . . ] Once the station is tuned its frequency may be stored as one of the Presets if desired (see "Store button" operation overleaf). The signal strength indicator can be displayed in Manual tuning mode in both FM and AM bands, but only when the Station Name function has been switched off in the Control Menu (see 4 section 11 below). Press SELECT to choose this option then use the keys or the rotary tuning knob to set the minutes part of the alarm on time (display will show "MN ON XX. YY" where XX is the hours and YY is the minutes). Press SELECT to confirm that the minutes are correct then use the keys or the rotary tuning knob again to set the hours (display will show "HR ON XX. YY). The alarm off time may then be set using the same procedure. When the Alarm off time has been set, use the keys or the rotary tuning knob to choose between using the tuner or CD player as the source when the alarm is activated. If you choose tuner, it will switch to the last tuned frequency when the alarm-on time is reached. If you choose CD player, ensure that a disc is in the CD player as this will be played when the alarm-on time is reached (providing the linked CD player is also Smart MY-LINK enabled). Once set, for example as a wake-up alarm, the system should be switched into standby. When the alarm-on time is reached, the amplifier and the tuner/CD player will be switched out of standby and the chosen programme will be heard. Please ensure that the amplifier volume is appropriately set. When the alarm off time is reached, the amplifier and tuner/CD player will be switched back into standby. Alarm On/Off (ALARM ON/OFF) [Requires tuner to be linked to a Myryad Smart My-Link® Preamplifier or Integrated Amplifier. ] Use this option to enable/disable the alarm. When the alarm setting option (above) is used, the alarm is automatically set to ON. To disable (or enable) the alarm, select this option, press the SELECT button, use the keys or the rotary tuning knob to select the preferred option and then press SELECT. This procedure allows the alarm to be turned on or off without having to reset the alarm times. Clock Set (CLOCK SET) Use this option to set the clock. The procedure is exactly the same as for setting the Alarm time - using the SELECT and keys or the rotary tuning knob. If you tune to an RDS station which broadcasts a time code, the tuner will set the time precisely using the RDS data. Memory Clear (MEMORY CLR) Use this feature to clear unwanted preset stations from the memory. Press SELECT to choose memory clear then use the keys or the rotary tuning knob to cycle through the three available options: · CLEAR ONE - clears the currently selected preset · CLEAR ALL - clears all preset information from the memory · FACTORY dFLT - returns the unit to the default factory settings. This option includes clearing all preset information from the memory. [. . . ] It is also most important to pay attention to the quality of the coaxial cable used for the downlead from the antenna to your tuner. Avoid joins along the length of the cable and ensure that the exposed end at the antenna is properly weatherproofed against ingress of moisture. All cables lose some signal along their length and it is false economy to use cheap cable of unknown quality. Always specify the best "low loss" coaxial cable. [. . . ]
