IN (3-30V AC/DC)
The XTad 3-30V AC/DC input uses a
2.5mm dc jack. To trigger the XTad, plug
one end of the cord into this jack and the
other end into the source component's
trigger output. Some components may use
a 3.5mm trigger output jack, so you may
have to use a 3.5mm jack to 2.5mm plug
adaptor.
OUT (12VDC)
The 12Vdc trigger loop jack lets you
"daisy-chain" the incoming trigger voltage

components.
An FM antenna must be connected to the
75 ohm FM antenna input for effective
reception of FM broadcasts. A ribbon wire
"folded dipole" antenna, which looks like a
"T" when stretched out, is included to get
you started. For best results, the crossbar
portion of the "T" should be stretched out
horizontally and attached to the wall, to
the back of a cabinet or on the floor. The
"Vertical" part of the "T" should be
connected to the 75 Ohm FM antenna
input on the rear panel of the tuner by
using the 75 Ohm matching transformer
which is included in the accessory
package. For additional information on
antenna options, refer to "Notes On
Antennas" section at the end of this
manual.
A single wire is supplied as an AM
antenna. Connect it to the AM antenna
terminal and position it for best AM
reception by inserting one lead into the
terminal marked "AM" and leaving the
other lead unconnected. For additional
information on antenna options, refer to
the "Notes on Antennas" section at the
end of this manual.
Connect standard audio cables from the L
and R output jacks to the Tuner inputs on
your preamplifier or system controller. You
may connect the audio outputs to any line-
level inputs, even if the input isn't label
"TUNER".
Set the switch for the region where you
live. Tuning increments in the USA (North
America) are 200KHz for FM and 10KHz
for AM - Please set the Switch to "US"
p o s i t i o n . Tu n i n g i n c r e m e n t s i n t h e
European Continental (Europe, UK,
Scandinavia) are 50KHz for FM and 9KHz
for AM - Please set the switch to "EU"
position.
This RCA connector is with Audio SPDIF
digital output as option for AM/FM Module.
The AM/FM module of the AMC XTad Dual
Stereo Tuner can be separately hooked to
a control system through the RS-232
connector. The RS-232 can be hooked up
to USB Hub or Ethernet Switch through
RS232 to USB or RS232 to Ethernet
adaptor. Through the RS232 connector,
the AM/FM module can accept commands
from your system controller and feed back
status to your controllers and touch
panels. For details of RS-232 commands,
please refer to the RS-232 appendix.
