INTRODUCTION
The Hafler IRIS FM Tuner combines very high quality radio
and audio frequency processing, convenient automatic
features, and infrared remote-system control.
The tuner employs a quartz-crystal referenced digital
tuning system using a Phase-Locked-Loop (PLL) and a
microprocessor having a proprietary program.
The basic operation of the IRIS FM Tuner is described in
simplified form in Figure 1. Please note that this diagram
can give you just enough information to start operating
your IRIS Tuner. Hafler products are designed to be easy to operate for new
or occasional users, but also to provide access to many
additional features and modes for those who wish to be-
come informed about them.
We all have a tendency to read instruction manuals only if
something doesnt work as expected. However, the IRIS
Tuner is part of a sophisticated remote control system,
designed to enhance listening pleasure and convenience.
Therefore, there are hidden features and modes you may
never know about or understand, if you do not take the time
to read through this manual.
We have tried to provide this additional information in a convenient form, mostly in sections of the manual num-
bered to correspond to the circled numbers on Figure
1.
We strongly suggest that you take the time to read through
this information as soon as poss ble.
INSTALLATION
The gloss black insert on the face-plate of your new Hafler
Equipment has been packaged with a removable protective
coating. Please peel off this protective coating following
installation.
When cleaning the face-plate, we advise a soft cotton cloth
with a non-abrasive cleaner that is safe for Iexan and
painted surfaces. DO NOT use paper towels or any coarse
material to clean the face-plate as these materials may
scratch the insert.

The IRIS Tuner is shipped with styled end caps on its frontpanel. Rack-mounting ears are available from the factory
for standard
19-wide racks.
POWER CONNECTIONS
The IRIS Tuner is internally connectable for virtually all AC line power systems. Unless otherwise labelled, all units are
wired for
120 volts AC, 5O/60 Hz. Consult the factory for
information on alternate connections.
In most audio systems, it will be most convenient to plug
the tuner into the preamplifiers switched outlet.
AUDIO CONNECTIONS
A standard RCA phono-type patch cord has been provided
for the audio signal connection. Simply connect this cord
from the rear-panel output jacks to the tuner or radio
input of the preamplifier.
ANTENNA CONNECTIONS
A simple T shaped dipole ribbon antenna has been sup-
plied with your IRIS Tuner. Connect its leads to the rear
panel terminal strip marked 300 ohm.
For best results, the arms of the antenna should be fully
extended, and mounted against a wall or equipment
cabinet. For further information about placement of this
antenna, as well as guidance concerning alternate antenna
types, see the section Additional Information.
REMOTE CONTROL CONNECTIONS
The following applies only to those audio systems using an
IRIS Preamp with the remote option installed.
The IRIS Tuner has two recessed male connectors on the back panel. They are internally connected together to
allow the IRIS digital data-bus to daisy-chain to other
IRIS-compatible accessories.
Connect either end of the supplied r bbon-type umbilical
cable to either of the tuners connectors. Note that both of
the cables connectors are keyed, and therefore fit only one
