User manual PARASOUND TDQ1600

[. . . ] Do not place the unit directly on a pile carpet that could interfere with air flow into its bottom vent openings. If you stack your components, we suggest you place your T/DQ-1600 below or alongside other components which may generate heat. Additionally, close proximity to some power amplifiers or CD players may interfere with clear radio reception of your T/DQ-1600. -1- Connecting Your T/DQ-1600 Audio Connections Before making any connections, turn off the power to your preamplifier and power amplifier. This will avoid an accidental "blast" of sound which could damage your speakers. [. . . ] For example to select preset 16, press the +10 button then press preset 6; to select preset 11, press the +10 button then press preset 1. Memory Button Press this button to program the preset stations into memory. To preset a station first press memory, then press the preset number. You have 5 seconds after you press memory to store a preset. The memory button can also be used in conjunction with the +10 button. AM/FM Button Press this button to toggle between the FM and AM frequency bands. This switch automatically operates according to how you have programmed your presets. Mono/Mute Off Button Your T/DQ-1600 has a circuit that will automatically mute weak or distant stations with excessive interchannel noise. Press the MONO button prior to tuning in weaker stations. This button will defeat the muting circuit and receive the station in mono to significantly reduce the level of noise. -3- Auto and Tuning Buttons This button controls the operation of the up and down tuning buttons. When the AUTO is button engaged, the tuning buttons will advance to the nearest station with enough strength for the tuning circuitry to lock onto. With the AUTO button disengaged, the tuning buttons advance in increments of 100 kHz for FM and 10 kHz for AM (50 kHz for FM and 9 kHz for AM in Europe) whether or not there is a station available at the selected frequency. Front Panel Display The front panel display of your T/DQ-1600 will indicate the following functions: · The selected broadcast frequency · The selected frequency bandwidth (AM or FM) · The selected frequency range (MHz for FM or kHz for AM) · A tuned signal presence indicator showing that adequate strength signal is available · The selected station preset between 1 and 20. If the frequency selected is not a preset station, this indicator will not light. Remote Control The remote control included with your T/DQ-1600 is the same remote used to control the Parasound P/LD-1100 and P/LD-2000. When using the T/DQ-1600 with either of these preamplifiers, you only have to use one of the provided remote handsets to control all of the functions of both units. The remote control duplicates every function on the front panel of your T/DQ-1600 with the following exceptions: · The remote control has the capability of an additional two station presets on the remote control with the buttons labeled P9 and P10 for a total of 20 presets. · The handset Polarity button has corresponding circuitry only in the Parasound P/LD-2000 preamplifier, and it has no function on your T/DQ-1600. The remote control transmitter has a range of approximately 20 feet. Use only AA alkaline batteries in the handset and observe the correct polarity which is marked in the case. Maintaining your T/DQ-1600 Your T/DQ-1600 requires no periodic maintenance and has no user serviceable parts inside. Do not remove the top cover to avoid risk of electric shock.
