INSTALLING AND REPLACING
HANDSET BATTERIES
The MSR2 Remote Handset uses two 1.5 V type AAA batteries.
To fit new batteries first open the battery compartment in the rear
of the handset and remove any existing batteries. Fit the new
ones as directed by the symbols moulded inside the battery
compartment, then replace the battery compartment cover. The
batteries should always be removed if they are discharged
(indicated by no remote control operation or by operation only at
very short range), or if the remote control is not going to be used
for an extended period.
SYSTEM OPERATION WITH
SMART MY-LINK
®
When used as a linked system (which must include a Smart My-
Link® equipped Integrated Amplifier or Preamplifier) Myryad
products equipped with Smart My-Link® have a number of extra
features that make the system as a whole easier and quicker to
use than a normal hi-fi. These include:
Start-on-Play (CD)
Press play on the CD player (or the remote control) and both the
CD player and amplifier will switch out of standby (if necessary)
and play the CD. The amplifier will automatically select the CD
source.
Start-on-Open (CD)
Press open/close on the CD player (or the remote control) and
both the CD player and amplifier will switch out of standby (if
necessary) and the CD drawer will open. The amplifier will
automatically select the CD source.
Intelligent Input Selection (Amplifier)
Press a source select button on the remote control and the
system will awaken only the amplifier and the selected source (if
in standby).
Mute/Pause Control (Amplifier/CD)
When using the CD player, selecting mute from the remote
control will mute the amplifier and pause the CD. When the
amplifier mute is cancelled, the CD will continue playing.
Power-Saving Mode (Amplifier/Tuner/CD)
The amplifier will switch the Tuner or CD Player into standby if
either source remains unselected for more than ten minutes.
Automatic Switch-On (Tuner/CD)
If the standby button on the Tuner or CD Player is pressed, the
amplifier will also awaken and select the correct source.
TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDE
Possible solutions to some of the most common problems
No sound:
• Power turned off or system in standby mode. Check that the
STANDBY LED is illuminated blue.
• UK version only: The fuse in the mains plug has failed. Check
and replace if necessary.
Sound in one channel only:
• Interconnect cable pulled loose or making poor contact. Check
and, if necessary, unplug and re-plug all relevant cables.
Loud buzz or hum:
• Interconnect cable pulled partially out of its socket.
• Defective interconnect cable.
Hiss that gets worse with STEREO reception:
• Antenna connector loose. Un-plug and re-plug connector and
check cable.
• Weak antenna signal. Move wire antenna to optimize reception.
If not adequate, install a loft or external antenna.
• If all else fails, switch to MONO reception.
Stereo indicator fails to light during a stereo broadcast:
• Another possible effect of a very weak signal. Attend to the
antenna system as described above.
Distorted reception:
• “Multipath” reception. Rotate antenna to find the orientation that
provides the best reception. Raise the height of the antenna. If all
else fails, switch to MONO reception.

FM ANTENNA
The wire antenna supplied with the Z132 may provide adequate
reception of strong FM signals. However, such an antenna is not
very efficient at rejecting “multipath” and other forms of FM
interference. Nor can it easily be rotated to optimise its pickup
pattern for best reception of stations from different directions. In
most cases you will greatly improve reception by using a better
antenna.
The best choice is a directional FM-only antenna, mounted as
high above ground as possible. The antenna should be mounted
externally for best reception, but loft mounting is a simpler
alternative which is satisfactory in many locations when adequate
loft space is available. The type of antenna necessary will depend
upon both your distance from the transmitter and the local
geography (e.g. intervening hills or large buildings).
It is also most important to pay attention to the quality of the
coaxial cable used for the downlead from the antenna to your
tuner. Avoid joins along the length of the cable and ensure that
the exposed end at the antenna is properly weatherproofed
against ingress of moisture. All cables lose some signal along
their length and it is false economy to use cheap cable of
unknown quality. Always specify the best “low loss” coaxial cable.
The above notes are for guidance only. It will usually be best to
consult a local specialist aerial/antenna contractor who will have
knowledge of local reception conditions. Your Myryad dealer may
also be able to offer advice.
