nates the possibility of the tuner drifting off

the station. The AFC circuit in the MR66 in-
cludes an Electronic Delay which is an exclu-

sive Mclntosh development. As the tuning

dial is moved, the AFC circuit is temporarily

cut off. Approximately three seconds after

the dial pointer has come to rest on a particu-

lar station, the AFC action gradually comes
into operation. The AFC automatically brings

the electrical tuning to the correct point for

minimum distortion. This automatic tuning
repeats itself each time the FM dial is moved

to a different station.

The degree of AFC action is adjustable

with the AUTO FREQ CONTROL. Full left

(MIN) position of the control cuts off AFC
action. Full right (MAX) position gives maxi-
mum AFC action.

Normally, the best tuning occurs with the

AUTO FREQ CONTROL set at or near MAX

position. If several stations are very close

together on the dial or if a desired station is

close to a much stronger station, a lower

AFC setting is usually necessary for best
tuning.

FM FUNCTION SWITCH

FM Out

Turns off the FM section of the MR66.

Mute In

Turns on FM with the Mclntosh developed

ultrasonic mute-in operation. Ultrasonic mut-
ing suppresses all noise between stations

including noises heard tuning in and out of a
station. Weak or distant stations mixed with

noise or interference are also suppressed.

Mute Out

Turns off the ultrasonic muting to allow con-
ventional FM tuning with inter-station noise

present. Use this setting to listen to weak or

distant stations that may be mixed with noise

or interference.
