Alarm on/off (ALARM ON/OFF) 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 and use the TUNE buttons to choose off (or on) 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 TUNE UP/DOWN buttons. If you tune to an RDS station which broadcasts a time code, the tuner will to set the time precisely using the RDS data. However please note that the RDS clock set facility may not be available in all countries. Memory Clear (MEMORY CLR) Use this feature to clear unwanted preset stations from the memor y. Press SELECT to choose memor y clear then use the TUNE buttons to cycle through the three available options: - CLEAR ONE – clears the currently selected preset - CLEAR ALL – clears all preset information from the memor y and leaves preset 1 tuned to 98.55MHz. - FACTORY SET – returns the unit to the default factor y settings. This option includes clearing all preset information and leaves preset 1 tuned to 98.55MHz. When the desired option has been selected, press SELECT again to execute the chosen Memor y Clear operation. 9 Mono When the MONO button is pressed the tuner is locked into MONO reception mode and the STEREO indicator will not illuminate, whether the tuned station is transmitting in stereo or mono. The green LED next to the MONO button will illuminate to indicate this mode. If noisy reception is experienced in stereo mode, pressing the MONO button will usually result in a dramatic improvement in sound quality. When a station is stored as a preset (see below) the MONO status is also stored, and will therefore be recalled whenever that preset is accessed. 10 Store The STORE button is used when storing the preset station frequencies. The procedure is as follows:- Tune to the desired station using either MANUAL or SEARCH tuning mode, and set to MONO if required. - Press the STORE button to enter STORE mode, which illuminates the green LED next to the button. The display will automatically change to Preset mode at the last used preset number. - If the station is to be stored at a different preset number, press the TUNE UP or TUNE DOWN button until the desired preset number is reached, otherwise move directly to the next step. - Press the STORE button again to store the frequency at the preset number displayed. The tuner will then automatically return to the previous tuning mode ready to tune the next station and the STORE LED will be extinguished. STORE mode can be exited by pressing the MODE button. The preset station data is stored in a permanent memor y. The information is retained when the tuner is switched off. system remote handset operation The Z130 Tuner is supplied with a System Remote Handset. which can also be used to control the Z140 Integrated Amplifier and Z110 CD Player. The System Handset keys allocated to control of the tuner are as follows: Preset, Manual and Search These keys allow direct access to any of the three tuning modes (see front panel MODE button). Tune up and tune down These keys operate exactly as the front panel TUNE UP/DOWN buttons. Mono and store These keys operate exactly as the front panel MONO and STORE buttons. DIM and number keys (0-9) These keys control the tuner but only when the handset is in Tuner Mode. To put the handset into Tuner Mode simply press the TUNER input select key at the top of the handset. The handset will stay in Tuner Mode until the CD input select key is pressed.Keypad 0-9 These keys allow direct access to any preset station. If a preset numbered 10 to 29 is desired, (e.g. 14) press 1, followed by 4. If 1 is pressed without a second digit, the tuner will go to preset 1 after few seconds. Pressing any other number key, from 3 to 9, will tune instantly to the relevant preset station. The 0 key may be used as the second digit in the normal way to choose presets 10, 20 and so on. However, when the 0 key is pressed as the first digit it operates in the same way as the SELECT key on the front panel (see Front Panel #8 on page 5). DIM The display may be switched off using the DIM key. A second press will turn the display on again. The display will come on briefly if any control is used while the display is off. Standby Pressing the STANDBY key by itself sends the command to switch an amplifier into or out of STANDBY mode. However, if your Tuner is linked to the amplifier via the Smart My-Link then it will also be switched into or out of STANDBY. It is also possible to switch only the Tuner into or out of by pressing and holding down the TUNER key and then simultaneously pressing the STANDBY key. This will switch the STANDBY status of the Tuner without affecting any other unit. If Smart My-Link is being used the STANDBY and TUNER keys must be released simultaneously. installing and replacing handset batteries The System Remote Handset uses four 1.5 V type A A A batteries. To fit new batteries first open the batter y compartment in the rear of the handset and remove any existing batteries. Fit the new ones as directed by the symbols moulded inside the batter y compartment, then replace the batter y compartment cover. The batteries should always be removed if they are discharged (indicated by no remote control operation or by operation only at ver y short range), or if the remote control is not going to be used for an extended period. 6 3 setting up your tuner rear panel connections 1Power inlet Before making any connection, check that the mains voltage setting printed on the rear panel is the same as your local mains supply. Plug the female (socket) end of one of the power cords supplied into the power inlet on the rear of each component. Plug the male (plug) end of each cord into a live wall socket or a suitable heavy duty extension cable. UK version: The mains plug is supplied fitted with a 5A fuse. It should only be replaced with a fuse of the same rating (5A) which complies with BS1362. 2Power switch Press one side of this rocker switch (the side nearer the edge of the rear panel) to switch the tuner ON and the other side to switch it OFF. When the POWER switch is in the OFF position all power is disconnected from the tuner and it cannot be powered up from the front panel or the remote control. When the POWER switch is in the ON position (and the power cord correctly inserted and plugged in to a live wall socket) the tuner will power up in standby mode (see FRONT PANEL CONTROLS, STANDBY, below). It is recommended that the POWER switch is turned OFF if the tuner is not going to be used for an extended period of time. 3My-Link input/output When this tuner is used in a system with other Z-Series (or Myr yad M-Series or Cameo) products, all may be joined together via the My-Link. My-Link is a communications bus that allows all the linked components to operate together as a system and distributes the remote commands received by any one to each of the others. The simplest function provided by the My-Link bus is that all linked units will switch into or out of standby mode when the amplifier or remote control standby key is pressed. Use a short RCA-to-RCA (phono-to-phono) interconnect cable to connect from the MY- LINK OUT socket on the amplifier to the MY-LINK IN socket on the tuner. A second cable may then be run from the MY-LINK OUT socket on the tuner to the MY- LINK IN socket on a Myr yad CD player – daisy-chain fashion. Further compatible Myr yad products can be linked in the same way, running from the MY-LINK OUT socket on the CD player. Inexpensive interconnects may be used as the My-Link bus carries only control signals, not audio, so these cables have no effect on sound quality. When Myr yad products equipped with Smart My-Link are connected via the My- Link bus, many more powerful system features are available (see page 7). 4 Antenna input The tuner is fitted with a 75Ω coaxial antenna socket, which must be used with a 75Ω antenna (aerial). The tuner is supplied with a simple wire 300Ω antenna together with an impedance matching adaptor. This antenna is provided to ensure that the tuner can be set up and used straight out of thebox. It is not adequate to provide full performance from the tuner except in areas of particularly high signal strength (e.g. close to the FM transmitter). In most instances a good quality roof or loft mounted FM antenna should be used – see page 7. The tuner has different coaxial antenna sockets to suit different countries. North American models are fitted with F type coaxial connectors while models for most other countries are fitted with DIN style connectors. When using the 300Ω wire antenna the matching adaptor (or balun) must be used and DIN versions also need to be fitted with the adaptor supplied. See the illustrations on page 7 for clarification. When you unfold the wire antenna you will note that it is in the form of a T. The crossbar portion of the T should be stretched out horizontally and tacked in place, either on a wall or the back of a cabinet, or on the ceiling. The vertical section of the T goes to the tuners antenna input via the balun. Experiment with the position and orientation of the antenna to obtain the best reception. 5 Line outputs These outputs should be connected by high quality audio interconnects to the TUNER or or other Line inputs (e.g. AUX) of any integrated amplifier or pre-amplifier. Never connect to an amplifiers PHONO inputs. 4 5
