FIG. 1 DAS-AMFM Satellite Radio Tuner Module
• The DAS-AMFM Tuner Module can be used with both Mi-Series and Tango Audio
Controllers.
• All Mi-Series and Tango Audio Controllers come equipped with a DAS-AMFM Tuner
Module. The Mi-Series and Tango Audio Controllers support two Tuner Modules
(DAS-AMFM and/or DAS-SIRIUS) in any combination (one of each, or two of either
module). Refer to the DAS-SIRIUS Installation Guide for details on installing the
DAS-SIRIUS Tuner Module.
• Each Tuner Module uses 1 source input on the Audio Controller.
Installing/removing Tuner Modules requires removing the cover from the Audio Controller,
removing the Tuner Option cover plate from the rear panel of the Controller, installing the
Tuner Module, and setting Jumpers on both the Tuner Module to specify each Tuner as either
TUNER 1 or TUNER 2, and on the Interface Board pin-bus of the Audio Controller to enable/
disable Tuner 1 and 2.
WARNING: Disconnect all power sources before opening the chassis. Failure to disconnect
power before performing this installation may cause injury or death.
FIG. 2 provides orientation for the various internal components that must be accessed to
install the Tuner and set the Jumpers.

CAUTION: Make sure to discharge all static electricity from your body before touching any
components of the tuner modules or the audio controller. Failure to do so may lead to
permanent damage to the tuner or controller.

Setting the Jumpers

Mi-Series and Tango Audio Controllers come equipped with one DAS-AMFM Tuner Module,
installed into Slot 2 (see FIG. 2). Mi-Series and Tango Audio Controllers support 2 Tuner
Modules in any combination, this document describes installing the DAS-AMFM Tuner
Module into Slot 1, leaving the factory-installed DAS-AMFM Tuner Module in Slot 2.
Note: Because of the location of the Jumpers in the Controller and on the Tuner Module, it
may be easier to make all jumper settings before installing the Tuner Module in the Controller.

Audio Controller Jumpers - Location

Examine the configuration of the jumpers on the left-side Interface Board Pin Bus, as seen
when viewing the Interface Board from the front of the Controller (FIG. 3).

configuration.
The instructions for setting these jumpers differ based on the color of the "Interface Board"
(red or green), as described below:

Red Interface Boards

20-pin ribbon cable connector (as seen when viewing the installed modules from the front of
the controller).

• With only a single tuner, all pins are jumpered.
