SETTING UP YOUR TU-505
Before you insert the power cord into a wall AC
outlet, be sure to make the following preparations.
FM Antenna: Connect the T-shaped feeder cable
antenna supplied to the tuner’s FM 300Q, terminals.
Adjust the tuner for FM reception and stretch the
antenna to a full ‘T’ shape, then adjust its height
and direction until you obtain the best reception. _
AM Bar Antenna: In areas where broadcast
signals are sufficiently strong, clear AM reception is
obtained simply by pulling the built-in AM ferrite
bar antenna away from the rear panel.
Amplifier: Connect the OUTPUT terminals of
the tuner with the TUNER or AUX terminals of
your amplifier (integrated amplifier or preamplifier),
using the pair of pin plug cables supplied. Be
FM/AM RECEPTION
1. Turn the Selector Control to FM AUTO or
AM, whichever you may wish to hear.
2. Select the desired FM or AM station by turn-
ing the Tuning Control. The station is correctly
tuned in when the Signal Meter pointer has swung
as far to the right as possible.
If the FM station received is broadcasting in stereo,
the FM Stereo Indicator will illuminate.
HINTS FOR BETTER
RECEPTION
@To receive a weak FM station
Turn off the FM Muting Switch and then tune in
the desired station. With the FM muting circuit at
work, the interstation noise commonly heard during
careful not to confuse the left and right channels.
Tape Deck: If you connect the tuner to a tape
deck, you can record directly from the tuner. Con-
nect the TAPE REC terminals of the tuner with
the recording input terminals of your tape deck,
also using pin plug cables.
FM tuning is shut out but weak stations may also
be cancelled.
@To suppress loud noise during AM or
FM reception
Set the Noise Suppressor Switch to IN. If no loud
noise is heard, be sure to keep it at OUT.
@ When receiving an excessively strong
station
If the FM signal is too strong, the received sound
may be distorted and crack. In this case, change the
FM Local/Distant Antenna Switch over to LOC.
Otherwise, be sure to leave it at DIST.
