Tuning to a HD Radio Station on the MA/MAC6700
is the same as tuning to any AM or FM Broadcast.
Once the MA/MAC6700 is tuned to a HD Radio Sta-
tion Broadcast several benefits are immediately appar-
ent. First, there is the improvement in sound fidelity
and sonic imaging. Second, many Stations will offer
ing the control a quick spin and releasing it, either
clockwise or counterclockwise.
Notes: 1. If the signal strength of a station is very weak
SEEK Tuning will not stop.
2. When there is lot of RFI (Radio Frequency
Interferance) the tuner may stop on the inter-
ferance signal instead of a station.
Direct Access Tuning
The MA/MAC6700 Tuner Module allows for direct
AM or FM station access using the Numeric Push-but-
tons on the Remote Control. In the following example
the Tuner is currently tuned to a station at 91.5MHz
and the station to be tuned to is at 103.3MHz. Perform
the following steps:
1. The Front Panel Display is currently indicating
91.5MHz, stereo, signal strength and text informa-
tion. Refer to figure TM13.
2. Start entering the desired station frequency of
103.3MHz using the Remote Control Numeric
Push-buttons by pressing the number 1, 0, 3, 3.
Refer to figures TM14 and TM15.
The same procedure is used when direct accessing an
AM Station.
Stereo/Mono Mode
The MA/MAC6700 Tuner Module Automatically
switches between Stereo and Monaural Broadcasts.
When a Stereo Broadcast is received, the Front Panel
Display indicates the Stereo Mode by the letters “ST”
on the right side. Refer to figure TM15. To change the
reception mode to MONO press the MODE Push-
button on the Remote Control twice to combine left
and right Stereo signal to a Monophonic Signal. Refer
to figures TM15 and TM16.
Note: To return to the STEREO MODE press the
MODE Push-button twice.
