workmanship under normal use and service for a period of 90 days from date of delivery to the original purchaser.

INSTALLATION:
Because of its attractive appearance, the Tuner may be placed on a table or a bookshelf. If installed in a cabinet,
the cover is to be removed, and ample ventilation must be allowed. Model 292 Tuner is designed to operate on a
110 to 120 volt, 60 cycle A.C. line.

All connections are provided on the rear of the unit. One end of a proper patch cord is to be connected into the
audio jack and the other end inserted in the input jack of the audio amplifier, which is usually designated as a
Radio or “Tuner”. The Multiplex jack can be used for connecting to a Multiplex Converter to receive simultane¬
ous signals on both FM and Multiplex broadcast, and for Multiplex Stereo Reception. The unit is to be plugged
either in the rear of the amplifier or in the event the amplifier does not have an A.C. receptacle, insert in any
1 10 volt A.C. outlet.
The front of the Tuner has three operating controls; the slide switch in the center is to turn the set on by placing
the switch to the “ON” position; the knob at the left controls the various functions and can be turned for either
AM, or FM reception, or for FM with “AFC"; the knob at the right is used to tune the desired station Tor either
AM, or FM reception.
AFC refers to “Automatic Frequency Control** and is an electronic means of keeping the receiver properly tuned
to the F.M. broadcasting station. It should be used only when the selector knob is set for F.M. reception. Even if
the Tuner Pointer is not in the exact center of the channel, the AFC will automatically pull in the signal to the
proper point. However, in tuning in a weak station adjacent to a stronger one, if the AFC is in operation position,
it may “lock on the stronger signal”. It is for this reason that a means has been provided for disabling the AFC.
This is accomplished by using the left hand knob as indicated below.
For normal operation, the left hand knob should be placed at “FM-AFC" position. For very precise tuning or for
tuning a weak station next to a powerful station on FM, it is suggested that the left hand knob be placed in the
"FM” position until the station is received the loudest. The knob is then to be moved to the “FM-AFC" position
and the station will be properly tuned and locked in position.
For normal F.M. reception, a built-in line cord antenna is sufficient for most locations. In the event that the unit
is located in a remote area, an external Dipole antenna will increase the efficiency and a number of distant sta¬
tions can then be received. This external antenna is to be connected across the terminals marked “ANT” and “GND”.
For A.M. reception. Model 292 has a built-in Hi Q Ferrite loopstick antenna which is all that is normally required
for most A.M. reception.
To increase the reception of the weak A.M. stations in the fringe area, it may be advisable to rotate the Tuner to
obtain the loudest signal.
The center marking on the dial glass is a “LOG” scale for easy recording of the position of the pointer for any
specific station.
