Before operating your MR 7083 AM/FM Tuner,
familiarize yourself with the controls and what they
do. The lower half of the front panel is the operating
control center. The field of 6 touchbuttons provides
control of AC power, AM or FM, and audio
processing for stereo, mono, or spatial operation.
The 8 touchbutton field controls the 8 AM and 8 FM
preset stations. The remaining 4 touchbuttons
provide search, enter, and scan up and down. The
knob is the manual tuning control.
The upper half of the front panel is the display
area. It shows the operating status, digitally displays
the station frequency and indicates precise tuning as
well as station signal strength.
A. SIGNAL (STRENGTH) INDICATOR
The SIGNAL indicator is at the right of the
station display area. The horizontal row of nine
LED bar indicators, shows the relative strength of
an FM or AM station being received. The greater
the number of bars illuminated, the greater the
received station's signal strength.
B. TUNING INDICATOR
Three LEDs , two horizontal arrows and
a center dot, located above the SIGNAL indicator,
make up the TUNING indicator. A station is
precisely center channel tuned when the center
dot LED, only, illuminates.
All FM stereo broadcasts will cause the FM MPX
bar indicator to illuminate. It is located to the left
of the SIGNAL and TUNING indicators.
C. STATION FREQUENCY DISPLAY
The ¾" high LED digital display of station fre-
quency on both FM and AM provides a high
degree of accuracy and is easy to read. The

1710 kHz.

output of the tuner to MONO and lights the
MONO indicator in the display area. When in FM

The SPATIAL touchbutton connects a Mclntosh
audio processor which influences both frequency
distribution and phase relationships to provide
enhanced special sound distribution. You will
hear an enhanced sound in both AM and FM. It
operates in both mono and stereo. When in

The STEREO touchbutton provides automatic,
FM station activated, stereo/mono operation and
