SETTING UP THE MD 208
1. Position the receiver away from any spot which may have extremes in
temperatures.
2. Place the receiver on a very rigid surface capable of holding 50 pounds (22 KG).
3. The heat sinks on the side of the unit are used to keep the unit at a safe
operating temperature. It is important that they are not covered or the unit is not
installed in a closed area where there is little air circulation. Ensure at least 2” of
clearance on the left and right of the device, and 5” of clearance above the unit
to allow for proper ventilation. Further, keeping the heat sinks clean will maintain
the high level of efficiency for which they were designed. A soft cloth or
paintbrush works just fine to keep them clean.
4. Connect your FM antenna cable to the A1 ANTENNA IN terminal on the rear
panel of the tuner. The connector on the rear of the tuner is an “F” type (75
ohms). Should your antenna cable be the 300 ohm twin lead you may convert to
75 ohm using a 300 to 75 ohm balun/transformer. Make sure that the center
connector of the 75 ohm cable is properly inserted into the connector. If you do
not have an antenna now, prepare the temporary straight wire antenna that is
enclosed with the tuner. Connect one end into the center of the antenna input
connector on the rear of the tuner.
Please note that the piece of wire provided should only be used as a device to
test the tuner, to obtain optimum benefit from this fine tuner a better antenna
may be required. Magnum Dynalab offers a number of different antennas, these
antennas are discussed in the
Reception Techniques in the back of the manual. If
you have any questions please call your dealer or Magnum Dynalab.
5. Unwrap the EIA AC cord and plug the EIA end into the rear socket marked Power
Input . Plug the other end of the AC cord into a 120/220/230/240 volt
continuous AC power supply. Be sure that the voltage marked on the rear of the
unit is the same as the AC source that you are using.
Note: Many countries that use 220/230/240 have a special FM transmitter,
deemphasis for these countries may be different. Please consult Magnum
Dynalab for the correct one.
