SETTING UP THE MD 209 HYBRID AUDIO RECEIVER
1. Position the receiver away from any spot which may have extremes in
temperatures.
2. Place the receiver on a very rigid surface capable of holding 50 pounds (22 KG).
3. The heat sinks located inside the unit are used to keep the unit at a safe
operating temperature. It is important that they are not covered and that the unit
is not installed in a closed area where there is little air circulation. Ensure at
least 2” of clearance on the left and right of the device, and 5” of clearance
above the unit to allow for proper ventilation.
4. Allow the unit to sit for 2 hours at room temperature before connecting the
power.
5. Connect your FM antenna cable to the ANTENNA IN terminal on the rear panel
of the MD 209 Hybrid Audio Receiver. The connector on the rear of the unit is
an “F” type (75 ohms) connector. Should your antenna cable be the 300 ohm
twin lead you may convert to 75 ohm using a 300 to 75 ohm
balum/transformer. Make sure that the center connector of the 75 ohm cable
is properly inserted into the connector. If you do not have an antenna now,
prepare the temporary straight wire antenna that is enclosed with the receiver.
Connect one end into the center of the antenna input connector on the rear of
the receiver.
Please note that the piece of wire provided should only be used as a device to
test the receiver. To obtain optimum benefit from this fine tuner a better
antenna may be required. Magnum Dynalab offers a number of different
antennas. The antennas are discussed in the
Reception Techniques in the back
of the manual. If you have any questions please call your dealer or Magnum
Dynalab.
6. Unwrap the EIA AC cord and plug the EIA end into the rear socket marked Power
Input . Plug the other end of the AC cord into a 120/220/230/240 volt
continuous AC power supply. Be sure that the voltage marked on the rear of the
unit is the same as the AC source that you are using.
Note: Many countries that use 220/230/240 have a special FM transmitter,
deemphasis for these countries may be different. Please consult Magnum
Dynalab for the correct one.
