INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

Audio Connections
After unpacking the unit and placing it on a
solid surface capable of supporting its weight,
you will need to make the connections to your
pre amplifier or integrated amplifier. These steps
need to be done only when the tuner is first
installed.
Audio Equipment Connections
We recommend that you use high-quality
interconnect cables when making connections to
source equipment and recorders to preserve the
quality of the signals.
When making connections to audio source
equipment it is always a good practice to unplug
the unit from the AC wall outlet. This prevents
any possibility of accidentally sending audio or
transient signals to the speakers that may
damage them.
1. Connect the analog output of the TU 980 to
the tuner input of your pre amplifier or
integrated amplifier.
2. For DAB signals, connect the optical or coaxial
digital output of the TU 980 to an optical
digital audio input of your pre amplifier or
integrated amplifier, if available.
3. Assemble the AM Loop Antenna supplied with
the unit as shown below. Connect it to the
AM terminals
.
For best reception, place the antenna away from
the unit as well as from sources of RF emissions
such as a television or computer. It should also
be placed away from contact with any metal
object. In areas where signals are weak, an
outdoor antenna may improve sound and
reception quality. Connect the antenna making
certain to also connect a ground wire to the
GND terminals.
4. Connect a FM Antenna to the
FM Antenna
connection. The FM antenna may be an
external roof antenna, an inside powered or
wire lead antenna or a connection from a
cable system. Note that if the antenna or
connection uses 300-ohm twin-lead cable,
you need to use a 300-ohm-to-75-ohm
adapter to make the connection. The supplied
antenna is for indoor use only.
5. Connect a DAB Antenna to the
DAB
Antenna
connection. The supplied
antenna is for internal use only. Fix it to the
wall in a vertical direction. The strength of the
incoming signal can be shown on the
Information Display by pressing the
Select
button

. The more segments are
visible in the lower display line, the stronger
the signal. By changing the position of the
antenna, you can increase the signal strength.
You can also opt for an external antenna,
available at your dealer.
When all connections are complete, plug the
power cord into a non-switched 230 Volt AC
wall outlet. You’re ready to enjoy the TU 980 !
