INTRODUCTION

The TRIO KW-lOOG is a beautifully engineer-
ed, sensitive AM-FM stereo multiplex tuner.
The extra wide band of the tuner and the special

circuit incorporated within the multiplex cir-
cuitry ensure the finest possible FM stereo
multiplex broadcast with optimum separation.

SPECIAL FEATURES

1. The exclusive Stereo Monitor gives instant
audible indication that the station is broad-
casting in stereo.

2. The 3-gang variable condenser allows highly
sensitive AM and FM reception.

3. The dual limiter enables you to enjoy noise-
free FM multiplex stereOphonic broadcasts.

4. The exclusive multiplex circuit completely
eliminates subcarrier leakage, thereby per-
miting you to make tape recording without
the beat noise problems.

5. The built-in stereo noise filter provides noise-
free reception even in fringe areas.

6. The unit is equipped with tape recording
terminals as well as output terminals.

INSTALLATION

The KW-lOOG is provided with a metal case
so it can be immediately put into operation with
safety on table top or shelf. Although there is
sufficient self-ventilation, do not place books or
other objects on top of the tuner as they will
restrict normal ventilation.

The KW-lOOG can be installed in conventional
cabinets or in any custom built installations by
cutting an opening as shown on the template. In
the installation of this type, the metal case should
be removed and sufficient space should be al-
lowed between the bottom plate and the mount-
ing plate to permit normal circulation of air.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

POWER

Plug the AC line cord into an outlet furnishing
110 to 120 volts AC, 50-60 cps.

AM ANTENNA

The ferrite loopstick built into the KW-lOOG
assures adequate reception of all local AM sta-
tions. However, in fringe and high noise areas
and where surrounding metal objects interfere
with normal reception, a regular antenna lead
should be connected to the terminal designated
AM.

Note: The ferrite loopstick is mounted on a
swivel bracket and to obtain maximum pickup,
the loopstick should be swung away from the
chassis.

FM ANTENNA

Two terminals are provided for connection to
a 300 ohm FM antenna as shown on the diagram

on page 3.

For good FM stereo reception, always use the
best antenna possible. In areas close to trans-
mitter, a simple indoor dipole antenna may
suffice. It should be remembered, however, that
the pick-up of reflections (similar to ghosts on
TV) will result in poor stereo reception. These
reflections must therefore be reduced to a mini-

-l

mum, either by careful orientation of the indoor
antenna or, if this will not eliminate them, by
using a more directional outdoor type antenna.

In areas further from the transmitter, the use
of an outdoor antenna is highly recommended.
These are available in various type. For recep-
tion of stations scattered in many directions, a
non-directional type may be required. If the
desired stations lie mostly in one direction, a
highly directional type of antenna will provide
better results. When using a directional antenna,
always orient it for best reception of the desired
station. The correct position will be indicated
by maximum deflection of the tuning meter on
the tuner.

OUTPUT

A shielded cable should be used to connect the
unit to the TUNER or AUX terminals of an am-
plifier. It has two output terminals, one for the
right (R or B) amplifier input connection and the
other for the left (L or A) amplifier input con-
nection.

TAPE REC

The TAPE REC terminals are provided for
direct connections to the tape recorder. The
connections should be made with a shielded cable.
