FRONT PANEL INFORMATION
TUNING DIAL SCALES
The MR 71 has two dial scales, the 88 to
108 scale marked in megacycles and the
0-100 logging scale. The dial scale marked
in megacycles indicates the positions of FM
stations in the 88 to 108 megacycle band.
The logging scale with linear divisions from
0-100 is located directly beneath the 88 to
108 scale. The logging scale can be used to
accurately retune any station. You may find
it easier to keep a record of your favorite
stations by use of the logging scale.
INDICATORS
The MR 71 has four indicators on the
dial panel: MULTIPATH indicator, SIGNAL
STRENGTH indicator, STEREO indicator, and
the TUNING indicator.
MULTIPATH INDICATOR
The MR 71 MULTIPATH indicator is an ex-
clusive Mclntosh development.
The MR 71 MULTIPATH indicator makes it
possible to improve FM reception with
precise FM antenna positioning.
Reduce noise due to multipath reception.
Reduce distortion due to multipath recep-
tion.
Improve stereo separation and the accu-
racy of your STEREO INDICATOR by reducing
multipath reception.
The MR 71 MULTIPATH INDICATOR shows
distortion from multipath signal reception.
Multipath reception causes the two beams on
the indicator to fluctuate rapidly. When the
antenna is rotated to the correct position,
the indicator beams will remain steady. The
directional antenna is picking up only the
desired signal and rejecting the reflected
multipath signals. In some locations, it is
possible that the best reception will occur on
a strong reflected signal rather than the
direct signal. When you tune to a different
station, the multipath indicator will tell you
if multipath is present. Multipath is inde-
pendent of signal strength.
STEREO INDICATOR
The stereo indicator will light when the dial
pointer crosses a station broadcasting multi-
plex stereo. The special circuit used will light
ONLY on the 19KC multiplex carrier. The
indicator will not light on noise pulses or
interference.
TUNING INDICATOR
An FM station is correctly tuned when the
indicator is in the black area of the tuning
indicator. The action of the TUNING indicator
is independent of station signal strength.
VOLUME
Controls volume level when the tuner is
connected to the pair of jacks marked
FRONT PANEL CONTROLLED.
