SETTING UP YOUR MD 106T


1. Place your tuner the shortest distance possible from your pre-amplifier/
integrated amplifier, being careful to avoid areas that may cause extreme
temperatues.

2. Connect your tuner to the pre-amplifier, using cables/ inter-connects that are
consistent with the rest of the inter-connects in your system. For a single ended
(un-balanced) system the cables will be connected to the RCA connectors labeled
“output to preamp” on the rear panel of your tuner to an unused aux. input on the
rear of your pre-amplifier/ integrated amplifier. For connection to a balanced
system, the balanced cables will be connected from the XLR outputs marked
“output balanced” on the rear of your tuner to the balanced inputs on the rear of
your pre-amplifier/ integrated amplifier.

3. Connect your FM antenna cable to the A1 ANTENNA IN terminal on the rear
panel of your tuner. The connection type on the back of your tuner is an “F”
connector (75 ohms). Should your antenna cable be 300 twin lead, you may
convert this to 75 ohms with a 300 ohm to 75 ohm balun/ transformer.

4. Make sure that the center conductor of the cable is properly inserted into the
connector. If you do not possess an antenna, attach the temporary wire
(enclosed in box) to your tuner. Place this into the “F” connector input on the rear
of your tuner.

5. If you have 2 antenna systems, please follow the directions above, but
connecting your second antenna to the A2 ANTENNA IN terminal found on the
rear panel of your tuner.

6. Unwrap the EIA AC cord and plug the EIA end into the rear socket marked
“Power Input” on the rear panel of your tuner. Plug the other end of the AC cord
into a 120/220/230/240 volt continuous AC source that you are using.

Please note that the piece of wire provided as an antenna should only be used as
a medium to test and setup the tuner. A better antenna system is
recommended. Magnum Dynalab offers a number of different antennae, these
antennae are discussed in the

Reception Techniques

in the back of the manual.


Note: Many countries that use 220/230/240 volts have a special FM
transmitter; tuning de-emphasis for these countries may be different. Please
consult Magnum Dynalab for the correct usage. If your tuner is used in a country
where the tuning de-emphasis is set incorrectly the sonic performance will be
seriously affected.
