McIntosh MA6600 Operation Guide

TM2-9
The Instructions in this TM2 Operation Guide are intended
to supplement the MA6600 Owner’s Manual when select-
ing and listening to radio stations. The McIntosh TM2 HD
Radio
TM
AM/FM Tuner Module incorporates an advanced
design AM/FM Tuner with many desirable performance
features to enhance your enjoyment of radio broadcasts.
The three Tuning Modes for selection of AM/FM Stations
are as follows:
1. STATIONS - Allows Manual Tuning of available AM
and FM broadcasts (the default setting).
2. SEEK - Automatic Tuning of available AM and
FM broadcast.
3. PRESET - Selection of AM and FM stations already
entered into memory.
Tuner Trim Functions
With the TM2 Tuner installed into the MA6600 there are
two additional Trim Selections available.
TUNER CONTROL
The Tuning Mode of AM and FM Broadcast Stations may
be changed from the default setting of STATIONS (Manual
Tuning) by performing the following:
1. Rotate the TRIM SELECT Control or press the TRIM
Push-button on the Remote Control until “TUNER
CONTROL” appears on the Front Panel Information
Display. Refer
to figures
TM2-4 and
TM2-5.
2. Rotate the TRIM ADJUST Control or press the
LEVEL + / -

to select either
the SEEK or

Tuning Mode.

ures TM2-6

TUNER BLEND MODE
The BLEND MODE allows selection of the different signal
types received from AM and FM Broadcast Stations. Con-
ventional Radio Broadcast Signals contain Analog Audio
Information only. A HD Radio
TM
Broadcast Signal includes
both Analog Audio Information and Digital Audio Infor-
mation. The Tuners Blend Mode may be changed from the
default setting of AUTO to either the ANALOG ONLY
or DIGITAL ONLY audio information. In the AUTO
Blend Mode the Tuner Audio Output can vary between the
transmitted Analog Audio only, the transmitted decoded
Digital Audio only or a blending of the two. This blending
produces the best possible sound quality even with varing
reception conditions. To change from the default setting of
AUTO perform the following:
1. Rotate the TRIM SELECT Control or press the TRIM
Push-button on the Remote Control until “TUNER
BLEND MODE” appears on the Front Panel Informa-
tion Display. Refer to figure TM2-8 on the next page.
