REAR PANEL -CONNECTING TO OTHER EQUIPMENT INTERCONNECT CABLES To connect the tuner to an amplifier an interconnect cable is required. Any cable of reasonable quality terminated with RCA plugs will be suitable. Please consult your dealer if you are unsure. AUDIO OUTPUT These outputs are located on the back of the Destiny Tuner and are labelled ANALOGUE OUTPUT. Connect these outputs to the amplifier's tuner input. Match the Red interconnect lead to the R-ANALOGUE OUTPUT and the White interconnect lead to the L-ANALOGUE OUTPUT. ANTENNA One FM and one AM antenna are supplied. Connect the AM (two wire loop) antenna to the AM antenna clips on the rear panel. Connect the FM antenna (single piece of wire) to the FM 75 Ohm connection on the rear panel. To obtain the best FM or AM signal use a high quality directional external antenna. If in doubt consult your supplying dealer for advice. MAINS CONNECTION Check that the MAINS POWER switch on the back of the unit is in the off position. 1 = on 0 = off. Push the plug (IEC line socket) of the power cable supplied with the Destiny Tuner into the socket (MAINS IN) on the rear of the unit. Make sure it is pressed in firmly. Plug the other end of the power cable into an AC wall outlet. Switch the MAINS POWER switch to on – 1. USING THE REMOTE CONTROL Note: Install the two AAA batteries supplied with the remote control. The SRC2 handset is a system remote control and therefore not all buttons control the Destiny Tuner. Some buttons have multiple uses. (Refer to the Destiny CD manual for CD player button descriptions). Do not place anything in front of the display area of the unit, or the remote control may not work. The green coloured buttons allow you to clearly find the features for your Destiny tuner - blue buttons operate the Destiny CD player, ivory buttons operate the amplifier. The dark grey buttons are multi purpose. For example, to use any of those with your tuner, first press the TUNER product button located above the circle of buttons in the middle of the handset. The remote will then be programmed to ensure the dark grey buttons work for that device only. If you wish your tuner to go to a particular pre-set station, first press the Green Tuner button followed by the stored pre-set number. To choose a subsequent pre-set it is not necessary to press tuner again. When in tuner mode, the UP and DOWN buttons refer to pre-set stations, SCAN FORWARD and BACK will scan through stations. Waking up from STANDBY requires a button to be pressed for each product - e.g. to wake up the tuner, press any of the green tuner buttons.
