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 inter-
connect 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 dam-
age them.
1. Connect the analog output of the TU 970 to
the tuner input of your pre amplifier or integrat-
ed amplifier.
2. For DAB signals, connect the optical or coaxial
digital output of the TU 970 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 out-
door antenna may improve sound and reception
quality. Connect the antenna making certain to
also connect a ground wire to the GND termi-
nals.
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 sys-
tem. 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 con-
nection. The supplied antenna is for indoor use
only.
5. Connect a DAB Antenna to the
DAB Anten-
na
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 anten-
na, 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 970!
