INTRODUCTION
GETTING STARTED
WHAT’S IN THE BOX
Packed with your C 426 you will find
·	 An AM loop antenna.
·	 A FM ribbon-wire antenna with balun.
·	 A detachable AC power cord.
·	 An audio cable connector (RCA-to-RCA lead).
·	 The TNR 1 remote control with 2 (two) AAA batteries.
·	 This owner’s manual version in CD-ROM.
SAVE	THE	PACKAGING
Please save the box and all of the packaging in which your C 426 arrived. 
Should you move or otherwise need to transport your C 426, this is by far 
the safest container in which to do so. We’ve seen too many otherwise 
perfect components damaged in transit for lack of a proper shipping 
carton, so please: Save that box!
CHOOSING A LOCATION
Choose a location that is well ventilated (with at least several inches to both 
sides and behind), and that will provide a clear line of sight, within 23 feet/7 
meters, between the C 426’s front panel and your primary listening/viewing 
position—this will ensure reliable infrared remote control communications. 
Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near sources of heat and damp. 
It is perfectly possible to stack the C 426 on top of other components.
QUICK START
In case you simply cannot wait to experience the performance of your 
new C 426, we provide the following “Quick Start” instructions to get you 
underway. 
Please make all the connections to your C 426 with the unit unplugged. It is 
also advisable to power down or unplug all associated components while 
making or breaking any signal or AC power connections.
1	 Use the RCA-to-RCA lead to connect the left and right output of the 
C 426 to the tuner input of your amplifier.
2	 Connect AM and FM antenna.
3	 Connect the supplied AC cord to the C 426 AC mains input and then 
plug into an AC outlet. The Standby LED indicator embedded around 
the bezel of the STANDBY button will illuminate amber.
4 Plug the AC mains plug also of your amplifier into the AC outlet. Power
up your amplifier and set it to the tuner input where the C 426 is 
connected.
5 Press the front panel STANDBY button to turn ON the C 426. The
Standby LED indicator will turn from amber to blue and illuminate the 
VFD.
6	 Toggle front panel’s [FM/AM] button to select AM or FM band.
7	 Toggle front panel’s [PRESET/TUNE] button to switch between “Preset” 
and “Tune” mode. Select TUNE mode (“TUNE” scrolls through the VFD).
8 Rotate the [PRESET/TUNE] control knob to select desired station.
