Auto and Tuning Buttons
This button controls the operation of the up and down tuning buttons. When the AUTO is button
engaged, the tuning buttons will advance to the nearest station with enough strength for the tuning
circuitry to lock onto. With the AUTO button disengaged, the tuning buttons advance in increments of
100 kHz for FM and 10 kHz for AM (50 kHz for FM and 9 kHz for AM in Europe) whether or not there
is a station available at the selected frequency.
Front Panel Display
The front panel display of your T/DQ-1600 will indicate the following functions:
•
The selected broadcast frequency
•
The selected frequency bandwidth (AM or FM)
•
The selected frequency range (MHz for FM or kHz for AM)
•
A tuned signal presence indicator showing that adequate strength signal is available
•
The selected station preset between 1 and 20. If the frequency selected is not a preset station, this
indicator will not light.
Remote Control
The remote control included with your T/DQ-1600 is the same remote used to control the Parasound
P/LD-1100 and P/LD-2000. When using the T/DQ-1600 with either of these preamplifiers, you only
have to use one of the provided remote handsets to control all of the functions of both units.
The remote control duplicates every function on the front panel of your T/DQ-1600 with the following
exceptions:
•
The remote control has the capability of an additional two station presets on the remote control with
the buttons labeled P9 and P10 for a total of 20 presets.
•
The handset Polarity button has corresponding circuitry only in the Parasound P/LD-2000
preamplifier, and it has no function on your T/DQ-1600.
The remote control transmitter has a range of approximately 20 feet. Use only AA alkaline batteries in
the handset and observe the correct polarity which is marked in the case.
Maintaining your T/DQ-1600
Your T/DQ-1600 requires no periodic maintenance and has no user serviceable parts inside. Do not
remove the top cover to avoid risk of electric shock. To keep it clean use only a soft cloth and never use
any solvents or abrasives. Fingerprints may be removed with a soft cloth moistened only with a few
drops of clear water.
Your T/DQ-1600 has corrosion-free gold RCA jacks, but each year it is a good idea to twist the input
plugs to preserve perfect signal transfer by removing corrosion which might have accumulated on the
connecting plugs themselves. Make sure the unit is turned off while you do this.
The remote control handset batteries should be removed whenever it will be unused for an extended
period. Remove the battery cover annually to inspect and remove leaking batteries.
