INTRODUCTION

FM TUNER with Remote Control and RDS

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Thank you for purchasing the Musical Fidelity

X-PLORA FM tuner with remote control and RDS.

Used properly and carefully, it should give you many

years of outstanding musical reproduction.

The X-PLORA is fitted with the latest Radio Data

System (RDS) circuitry allowing station names to be

displayed. This function only works if the tuned station

supports RDS. Special noise reduction techniques are used

to achieve both an excellent technical specification and

unparalleled sound quality.

Aesthetically, the X-PLORA is a perfect match for the

X-RAY CD player, X-A1 or X-A100R integrated

amplifiers or the X-P100/X-AS100 Pre/Power amplifier

combination. Together these components form one of the

finest hi-fi systems available.

Dust regularly with a soft duster or soft brush but be

careful when using cleaning or polishing agents - they may

harm the surface finish.

If you have any questions about anything in your

audio system, please consult your dealer who is there to

help and advise you.

BASIC OPERATION BEFORE YOU SWITCH ON AERIAL CONSIDERATIONS Follow this routine before you listen for the first time, and each time you change any connections. Before you will be able to extract the maximum performance from any tuner, it will be necessary to install a good aerial system. This does not inevitably mean an expensive aerial, as the type needed by most households in order to receive the stations within a given service area can be quite simple.
