INSTALLING THE MD 108 T
1. Position the tuner the shortest distance from your preamplifier. Avoid putting
the unit where there are extremes in temperature.
2. Remove the AC cord from the pouch on the lid of the carrying case and plug it
into the AC receptacle at the rear of the unit. DO NOT PLUG THE CORD INTO
THE WALL POWER SOURCE AT THIS POINT.
3. Connect the tuner to your preamplifier using a set of cables consistent with
the caliber and type (balanced or unbalanced) of your system. Select the tuner
input on your preamplifier.
Note: Be sure that the preamplifier volume is set to zero.
4. Connect the FM antenna and/or cable to the A1 (if you have one antenna) or
A2 connector (if you have two antennae) at the rear of the tuner.
5. Plug the tuner’s AC power cord into an AC power source. Be sure to use a
continuous power source so as to allow the stand-by mode feature to function
properly. All the tuner’s amplifiers are muted in stand-by mode.
6. When power is supplied, some of the tuner’s LED devices may be lit, indicating
that the tuner has been activated. It may also be that the tuner’s power is
totally off and that none of the LED devices will be lit. Either condition is
normal.
7. If the power is “OFF”, use the power switch to turn the power to “ON”
Note: Each time the tuner is turned “ON”, there is a 15 second delay before
the tuner will operate. A light click will be heard, indicating that the relay has
been activated and the power is available. Also, the LED devices will be lit
which indicates power.
8. Once power has been initialized, the meters will light and the frequency meter
should show a reading between 87.5 and 108.5.
¾ Switch the tuner to Stereo mode
¾ Turn on the Blend switch
¾ Turn off the Mute switch
¾ Turn off the Dim switch
¾ Turn on the BW 3 switch
The tuner is now ready for operation.
Note: When the tuner is turned off, the LED devices for the main selectors will
stay on.
