voltage indicated is acceptable. Contact your
Perreaux dealer for any voltage adjustment
and updating of this label.
- FM ANTENNA SOCKET
This socket is for the connection of the FM
antenna provided. The antenna should be
extended and positioned for the best
reception however it should be noted that
superior performance will be achieved using
a professionally installed outdoor antenna.
NOTE: Outdoor antenna's can be dangerous
if incorrectly installed and through incorrect
earthing - we recommend using the services
of a registered contractor for outdoor antenna
installation.
- AM / GROUND ANTENNA SOCKETS
These sockets are for the connection of the
AM loop antenna provided. Again this
antenna should be positioned for the best
reception. A mounting clip is provided on the
rear panel to hold this antenna. It should be
noted that the inherent performance of AM
signal broadcasts is not of high fidelity and
can be noisy, hence the reason for the
popularity of FM broadcasts.
- LEFT / RIGHT OUTPUT SOCKETS
These are high quality gold plated RCA type
sockets for the connection of the ETR to a
pre or integrated amplifiers TUNER input.
When connecting the ETR to auxiliary
equipment terminate the interconnect cables
with a red plug for the right channel and
white, black or blue for the left channel.
These are the most commonly accepted
colour coding combinations in use
internationally to help maintain channel and
phase integrity i.e. left to left, right to right,
positive to positive, and negative to negative.
An initial set of interconnects is provided
however we recommend substituting higher quality cables at your earliest convenience for
improved fidelity.
- MAINS/LINE INPUT RECEPTACLE
This receptacle accepts the female end of
the mains power cord. For more information
regarding MAINS/LINE VOLTAGE and
connection see the relevant sections.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
PROCEEDURE
The Perreaux Tuner employs a PLL
synthesiser for easy and accurate tuning.
Tuning frequency is visible on the digital
display, and you can tune in to the desired
station very accurately. With the units
memory circuit, you can pre-set station
memory tuning, letting you recall a stored
frequency instantly with a single tap of a
button.
One station can store one AM or one FM
station in its memory; a total of 30 AM or FM
stations can be stored.
Before commencing operation, check to
make sure all antenna preamplifier and
power connections are properly made.
- Set the volume control on the control
amplifier to a low position and selection
switch to the tuner position.
- Turn on the ETR, the control amplifier and
lastly the power amplifier (if applicable).
- Depress the FM or AM Band button on the
remote controller to select the band required.
- Tune in to the desired station( See
relevant sections TUNING and
AUTO TUNING.
-
- Raise the volume to the desired level and
enjoy listening
NOTE: If you have turned off the ETR and
turn it on again, it will tune into the station
frequency to which it was tuned immediately
before turn-off.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
PRECATIONS
Precautions which should be observed
during installation and operation are:
- Leave sufficient clearance between the top
of the ETR and the bottom of equipment
above if installed in a rack or stack.
- Always operate in a horizontal position.
- Install away from excessive heat and
moisture. Do not allow the ambient
temperature around the ETR to exceed 40º
Celsius (105º Fahrenheit.)
- Check the mains/line voltage stated on the
rear panel of your .ETR Supply voltage must
be within +/- 5% of the stated voltage.
- Connect all your hi-fi equipment to the same
mains/line source to avoid possible earthing
problems.
- The protection fuses for the ETR are
internal and not user serviceable.
- Always contact an approved PERREAUX
dealer if any changes are noted in
performance.
- Always ensure the volume control on your
control amplifier is set low before making any
