Introduction - Carver TX-11b Manual

Introduction
Congratulations! You've purchased the finest tuner available: the
Carver TX-11 b Quartz Synthesized Stereo Tuner with Asymmetrical
Charge-Coupled FM Detector™ and Ultra High Fidelity Wide Band
AM stereo (utilizing Motorola's CQUAM™ system). Your new tuner's
special FM circuitry is Bob Carver's brilliant solution for eliminating
the distortion and noise that usually make FM listening a less than
pleasurable experience. When engaged, these patented circuits
enable the TX-11 b to literally pull music from the morass of hiss and
distortion associated with multipath interference. You'll be able to
consistently, cleanly, quietly enjoy the music in STEREO. The
ambience and localizing information needed to perceive stereo, also
lost to distortion, is restored. Finally, a real breakthrough that makes
FM programming compete equally with records and tapes for audio
quality, and share of your listening time.
The TX-11 b has been exceptionally engineered, and is superbly
crafted for more than sonic excellence. Your tuner has many
sophisticated features that will enhance your enjoyment of stereo
listening, now, and in the future. To take full advantage of all this, be
sure to read the safety, installation, and operating instructions. We've
prepared this owner's manual for learning about the concepts,
controls, and functions that make the TX-11 b a superior tuner in every
way. We've included even more information on getting the most from
your new tuner. See ANTENNAS, and the Appendix of this manual
to ensure you are getting the very best sound you deserve.
Warranty Card
Please, fill out and return the Warranty Card that came with the TX-
11 b's packing kit. It's highly unlikely your TX-11 b will ever need
service, but should the unlikely occur, your Warranty Card is the ticket
to Carver's two years limited Parts/Labor Warranty repair. Eitherfrom
a local Authorized Carver Service Center, or the factory. We also
suggest you fill out the warranty information in the space we included
on the preceding page. Be sure to include any personal ID number
used in further identifying the TX-11 b.
Before Going any Farther...
Here are some suggested do's and don'ts that will make setting-up
and using the TX-11 b a safe, as well as enjoyable experience:
• Don't operate the TX-11 b on any other power line voltage other
than that specified on the rear panel.
• Make all connections to and from the TX-11 b with its power, and
power for all other components in your system, switched OFF.
• Unplug the TX-11 b's power and antenna lead-in during electrical
storms, or if you're not going to use it for a prolonged period of
time.
• When unplugging the ac line cord, grasp the plug and pull; don't
yank on the cord itself.
• If someone accidently spills a drink on the TX-11 b's cabinet,
unplug the tuner and have it checked out or cleaned by a qualified
service technician. This applies to every piece of equipment in
your stereo system.
• Of course, we've mentioned that there aren't any user-serviceable
parts inside your TX-11 b. Please, resist any temptation to fiddle
around inside the TX-11 b. Avoid possible electrical shock and/or
extreme embarrassment. Refer all service work to a qualified
technician.
Again, keep the carton and packing material the TX-11 b came in.
Should you move, the best shipping container is the original carton.
Hang on to this owner's manual, too. When your music system gets
to its new home, the safety, installation, and programming instructions
could be more than useful. Also, please fill out and return the warranty
card, if you haven't already done so. In the remote possibility your
TX-11 b ever needs repair, the warranty card is a passport to speedy,
efficient service from either a local Authorized Carver Service Center
or the factory.
