User manual MYRYAD MT100

[. . . ] IN PARTICULAR, WHEN THE UNIT IS TURNED OFF AT THE REAR PANEL SWITCH, THE PROCESSOR MUST BE GIVEN TIME TO RESET BEFORE THE UNIT IS TURNED BACK ON. FAILURE TO ALLOW TIME FOR THE PROCESSOR TO RESET MAY RESULT IN INCORRECT PROCESSOR OPERATION. THIS IS COMMON TO ALL MICROPROCESSOR CONTROLLED EQUIPMENT BUT CAN BE AVOIDED BY TAKING THE FOLLOWING STEPS: · MYRYAD UNITS ARE DESIGNED TO BE LEFT IN STANDBY FOR LONG PERIODS ­ YOU DON'T NEED TO TURN THEM OFF AT THE BACK PANEL UNLESS YOU EXPECT THEM TO BE UNUSED FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. · IF YOU TURN YOUR UNIT OFF AT THE REAR PANEL, ALLOW 60 SECONDS TO ELAPSE BEFORE TURNING IT BACK ON.

In this mode the internal circuitry of the MT 100 is powered up but disabled, so that it consumes very little power and its audio output is muted by a relay. When the STANDBY button is pressed the MT 100 circuitry will be activated, and, after a few seconds delay, the audio outputs will be enabled. During this delay period the LED in the STANDBY button will flash blue. When the STANDBY button is pressed again the Tuner will be returned to standby mode. The LED in the STANDBY button will glow red again and the display will be extinguished. CAUTION: WHEN IN STANDBY MODE THE INTERNAL CIRCUITRY OF THE MT 100 IS STILL LIVE, SO ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED. The operation of the tuner is indicated on a high quality blue Vacuum Fluorescent Display. The tuned frequency is always displayed to the left, together with the Preset Number, Signal Strength or SCH to indicate the selected tuning mode (see below, sections 7, 8 and 9). i. e. if station 3 is not programmed, the tuner will skip from station 2 to station 4. If the tuner is stepped beyond the highest number preset stored, it will "wrap-around" and step back to the lowest numbered preset. Preset Display Mode (Figure 2) 4 Stereo indicator This indicator is illuminated when a stereo broadcast is being received and the tuner is not switched to MONO mode. NOTE: PRESET MODE CANNOT BE ENTERED UNTIL AT LEAST ONE STATION HAS BEEN PROGRAMMED (SEE SECTION 11 ­ STORE BUTTON) Wire antenna (Figure 1) Antenna connectors and adaptors 5 On tune indicator This indicator is illuminated when any FM signal, above a very low threshold, is received and is ON TUNE. 8 Manual tuning mode Press the MANUAL button to enter Manual Tuning mode. The display shows the tuned frequency, together with a Signal strength indication (see Figure 3). When the tuning knob is rotated clockwise the tuned frequency will increase by 50kHz at each click step or decrease by 50kHz per click for an anticlockwise rotation. Correct tuning can be obtained either by setting the correct frequency, if it is known, or by tuning until the ON TUNE indicator illuminates ­ which indicates accurate tuning. Once the station is tuned its frequency may be stored as one of the Presets if desired (see above). The signal strength indicator will display a number from 1 to 9, preceded by the letters "SI". A signal strength of "­" indicates no signal, whilst a signal strength of 9 indicates a very strong signal. Normally an indication of 4 or 5 is necessary for a useable signal in stereo, while a figure of 7 should ensure that lowest noise reception is obtained in stereo. If the signal strength of a station tuned in Preset mode is required, 5 Line outputs These outputs are suited to the "TUNER" or other "Line" inputs (e. g. [. . . ] The display will come on briefly if controls are used while the display is off. Searching may be stopped before a station is found by rotating the tuning knob in the opposite direction to the current search, or by pressing the MANUAL, PRESET or SEARCH mode buttons. Standby 10 Mono button When the MONO button is pressed the tuner is locked into MONO reception mode and the STEREO indicator will not illuminate, whether the tuned station is transmitting in stereo or mono. If noisy reception is experienced in stereo mode, pressing the MONO button will usually result in a dramatic improvement in sound quality. Switching the tuner to MONO mode also disables the inter-station muting, so allowing very weak stations to be received. When a station is stored as a preset (see previous page) the MONO status is also stored, and will therefore be recalled whenever that preset is accessed. remote control handset operation The MT 100 may be remote controlled using a Myryad System Remote handset which is supplied with some Myryad Integrated Amplifiers and Preamplifiers, or can be purchased separately.
