INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on purchasing this Cambridge Audio T-Series
Superheterodyne Tuner. It has been custom designed to deliver
maximum listening pleasure together with an unrivalled ease of use
that will provide you with many years of exciting and trouble free
listening. Expect a warm reception!
The T-Series has been developed as a result of the increased demand for
affordable, high quality, full facility tuners and is dedicated for use with the
finest output components. Unlike most similarly priced tuners, and even
those costing much more, the T-Series has been built without compromise
in terms of component quality and construction.
Because of the introduction of numerous new radio stations to the airwaves
the vast majority of today's tuners suffer from the interference breakthrough
of other radio frequencies. In order to minimise this reduction in sound quality
the performance of a tuner is often compromised. To combat this dilemma
the T-Series utilises double Superheterodyne technology. This effectively
rejects all but the required signal, allowing the sonically critical stages to be
optimised. As a result, a crisp, clear and atmospheric soundstage is
achieved with all types of music.
We have worked hard to ensure that your T-Series Tuner is remarkably
simple to use, however below the sturdy exterior there is an array of technical
wizardry. The T-Series offers a choice of three wavebands, coupled with the
ability to memorise up to 29 of your favourite stations in FM and MW (AM for
US version) and 6 in LW. A custom designed rotary control knob offers easy
selection of preset stations together with the precision required for accurately
tuning weak signalled stations. The sophisticated auto tuning facility
automatically searches through a waveband for your desired station. Further
features include a ten bar signal strength indicator and a central tuning facility
that 'locks on' to the optimum signal for crystal clear reception.
Close attention has also been paid to those audiophile features that are a
rarity in today's tuner design and manufacture. Included is the latest 'blend'
circuitry which automatically adjusts stereo separation, resulting in a reception
quality with the least amount of background noise. A multipathing warning
indicator will also let you know that multiple signals of the same station are
being received, thus enabling you to adjust the frequency and locate a
stronger transmission.
To gain the greatest musical rewards from this equipment we would
encourage you to use other high quality components and revealing
loudspeakers. We particularly recommend amplification from the Cambridge
Audio range, all of which has been designed to the same exacting standards
as your T-Series Tuner. Although your Tuner is a very sensitive piece of
equipment we would also strongly recommend that you use an external roof-
mounted aerial to maximise performance.
Interconnects are also something that shouldn't be forgotten. Please do not
compromise your system's performance by using poor quality interconnect
cables to connect this tuner to your amplifier, after all, a system is only as
good as its weakest link. For this reason we do not include cheap "freebie"
cables in the box. Your dealer can supply quality Cambridge Audio
interconnects that will ensure your whole system realises its full potential.
Now we invite you to sit back, relax and enjoy!
