6
7 AM/FM
Press the AM/FM button change between FM and AM bands, or
vice versa. Either the FM or AM icon in the display will be
illuminated to show the current band.
8 Mono
(FM mode only)
When the MONO button is pressed the Z132 is locked into
MONO reception mode and the STEREO indicator will not
illuminate, whether the tuned station is transmitting in stereo or
mono. The MONO icon in the display will illuminate to indicate
this mode. If noisy reception is experienced in stereo mode,
pressing the MONO button will usually result in a dramatic
improvement in sound quality. When a station is stored as a
preset (see below) the current MONO status is also stored, and
will therefore be recalled whenever that preset is accessed.
9 Store
The STORE button is used when storing the preset station
frequencies. Up to 39FM and 19 AM preset stations may be
stored. The procedure to store is as follows:
• Tune to the desired station using either MANUAL or SEARCH
tuning mode, and set to MONO if required.
• Press the STORE button to enter STORE mode. The display will
automatically change to Preset mode at the last used preset
number, but with a flashing “
∗
” symbol to the right of the tuned
frequency.
• If the station is to be stored at a different preset number, press
the TUNE UP/DOWN buttons or use the remote control number
keys to set the desired preset number, otherwise move directly to
the next step.
• Press the STORE button again to store the frequency at the
preset number displayed. The Z132 will then automatically return
to the original tuning mode ready to tune the next station.
STORE mode can be exited at any time by pressing the MODE
button. The Z132 will exit STORE mode automatically after 10
seconds if no button is pressed.
The preset station data is stored in a permanent memory. The
information is retained even when the tuner is switched off or the
power cord disconnected.

REMOTE CONTROL HANDSET
OPERATION
The MSR2 handset supplied with the Z132 has been
ergonomically designed to be easy and comfortable to use. It will
also control Myryad’s Integrated Amplifiers, Preamplifiers, Tuners
and DVD Players. See the separate MSR2 System Remote
Owner’s manual for details of its use with these products.
Important.
In order to use the MSR2 handset to control your
Z132 you must first press the ‘TUN’ input select button near the
middle of the handset to switch it to ‘Tuner/Amplifier’ mode. The
handset will remain in this mode until either the ‘CD’ or ‘DVD’ key
is pressed to change to CD/Amp or DVD/Amp mode respectively.
The handset keys allocated to control of the tuner are as follows:
Preset, Manual and Search (PST, MAN, SCH)
These keys allow direct access to any of the three tuning modes
(see front panel MODE button).
Tune up and tune down (
។៓
)
These keys operate exactly as the front panel TUNE UP/DOWN
buttons.
Mono and store (MONO, STORE)
These keys operate exactly as the front panel MONO and
STORE buttons.
AM/FM (BAND)
The BAND key operates exactly as the front panel AM/FM button.
DIM
The display may be switched off using the DIM key. A second
press will turn the display on again. The display will come back on
briefly if any control is used while the display is switched off
(remote or front panel).
Keypad 0-9
These keys allow direct access to any preset station up to the
maximum limit of 39 for FM or 19 for AM. To select a preset
numbered 10 or greater – for example 14 - press “1”, followed by
“4”. If “1” is pressed without a second digit, the Z132 will go to
preset 1 after few seconds. Pressing any other number key, from
4 to 9, will tune instantly to the relevant preset station.
Direct frequency entry using keypad 0-9
When a desired station’s frequency is known, it may be tuned
directly by entering the frequency using the keypad. The tuner
can be in any mode, but it must not be in the control menu. The
AM or FM frequency band must be set first.
To tune AM stations
• Press the “SEL” key to go into numeric entry mode. The display
will go to manual tune, but with “----“ in place of the frequency:
“MAN ----“.
• Enter the frequency (3 or 4 digits), starting with the highest digit
– for example, 1, 1, 7, 0 for 1170kHz. Total allowed range is 522
to 1620.
• The Z132 will tune immediately to 1170kHz and remain in
manual tune mode.
• If an attempt is made to tune to a frequency which is not an AM
tuning step (see page 4) the Z132 will tune to the nearest
“allowed” frequency.
To tune FM stations
• Press the “SEL” key to go into numeric entry mode. The display
will go to manual tune, but with “---.--“ in place of the frequency:
“MAN ---.--“.
• Enter the frequency, ignoring the decimal point (4 or 5 digits),
starting with the highest digit – for example 1, 0, 4, 7, 5 for
104.75MHz. Total allowed range is 87.5 to 108. Note: the last
frequency digit can only be 0 or 5. If any other number is entered
it will be interpreted as a “0”.
• The Z132 will tune immediately to 104.75MHz and remain in
manual tune mode.
SETUP
Press the SETUP key to enter the tuner control menu.
SEL,
and
The
and
keys
are used to navigate the menu in the same
way as the front panel tune buttons. The SEL key is used to
select items from the menu in the same way as the front panel
SELECT button, but it cannot be used to enter the menu (see
page 5). When not within the control menu, the SEL key is used
to initiate direct frequency entry – see above.
Standby
Pressing the STANDBY key by itself sends the command to
switch an amplifier into or out of STANDBY mode. However, if
your Z132 is linked to the amplifier via the Smart My-Link then it
will also be switched into or out of STANDBY.
It is possible to switch only the Z132 into or out of by pressing and
holding down the “TUN” key and then simultaneously pressing the
STANDBY key. This will switch the STANDBY status of the Z132
without affecting any other unit.
If Smart My-Link is being used the STANDBY and TUNER keys
must be released simultaneously.
