Interstation Noise Suppression; Maintenance - QUAD 66 Instruction Book

This is notas complicated as it sounds and the instructions below give the basic
steps which have to be carried out tor each station you want to put into the tuner
memory, using this method -
a,
Select the presei number to which you want to allocate (stord a
particular station or frequency, using the track < > buftons.
b.
Putthe tuner into its search mode by pressing either searctr > (ascending
frequency) ot seerch < (descending frequency).
c.
As the tuner starts to scan press the other search button; il search >
was initially chosen then press search <. Scanning will immediately
reverse and stop at the frequency at which it started.
d, Pressing the search <> buttons will now cause the tuner to step through
the frequency band in 25 kHz steps (two presses for each 50 kHz display
change).
e,
When you have found the station or lrequency you want, press the slore
butlon and hold it down for about 5 seconds to out it into the tuner
memory.
f. This will be confirmed, in the tuner display, by a box around the preset

frequencies you want to receive.

Interstation Noise Suppression
In normal operation interstation noise is muted to provide a quiet background
whentuning. lf required though this function can be defeated (eg, fortuning into
veryweak stations), butsearch can then only be carried out in 25 kHzsteps (see
Special Search Feature).
MAINTENANCE
No routine maintenance is required- lf necessary the case can be cleaned with
a soft brush or, for more stubborn marks, a slightly moistened lint-free cloth. In
this case remove the mains plug from the supply socket. Do not use cleaning
agents, solvents or abrasives.
It is possible to power the 66 preamplifier control panel from the tuner. This is
useful if a replacement battery is not readily available or if you want the control
panel permanently sited by the tuner.
To do this slide off the control panel battery compartment lid, pull out the
connecting lead and plug this into the DC power supply socket on the front right
hand side of the tuner. lf operated in this way remove the battery.
