Alarm on/off (ALARM ON/OFF)
Use this option to enable/disable the alarm.
When the alarm setting option (above) is
used, the alarm is automatically set to ON. To
disable (or enable) the alarm, select this
option and use the TUNE buttons to choose
off (or on) and then press SELECT. This
procedure allows the alarm to be turned on
or off without having to reset the alarm times.
Clock set (CLOCK SET)
Use this option to set the clock. The
procedure is exactly the same as for setting
the Alarm time - using the SELECT and
TUNE UP/DOWN buttons. If you tune to an
RDS station which broadcasts a time code,
the tuner will to set the time precisely using
the RDS data.
However please note that the RDS clock set
facility may not be available in all countries.
Memory Clear (MEMORY CLR)
Use this feature to clear unwanted preset
stations from the memor y. Press SELECT to
choose memor y clear then use the TUNE
buttons to cycle through the three available
options:
- CLEAR ONE - clears the currently
selected preset
- CLEAR ALL - clears all preset information
from the memor y and leaves preset 1
tuned to 98.55MHz.
- FACTORY SET - returns the unit to the
default factor y settings. This option
includes clearing all preset information
and leaves preset 1 tuned to 98.55MHz.
When the desired option has been selected,
press SELECT again to execute the chosen
Memor y Clear operation.
9 Mono
When the MONO button is pressed the tuner
is locked into MONO reception mode and the
STEREO indicator will not illuminate, whether
the tuned station is transmitting in stereo or
mono. The green LED next to the MONO
button will illuminate to indicate this mode. If
noisy reception is experienced in stereo mode,
pressing the MONO button will usually result
in a dramatic improvement in sound quality.
When a station is stored as a preset (see
below) the MONO status is also stored, and
will therefore be recalled whenever that preset
is accessed.
10 Store
The STORE button is used when storing the
preset station frequencies. The procedure
is as follows:- Tune to the desired station using either
MANUAL or SEARCH tuning mode, and
set to MONO if required.
- Press the STORE button to enter STORE
mode, which illuminates the green LED
next to the button. The display will
automatically change to Preset mode at the
last used preset number.
- If the station is to be stored at a different
preset number, press the TUNE UP or
TUNE DOWN button until the desired
preset number is reached, otherwise move
directly to the next step.
- Press the STORE button again to store the
frequency at the preset number displayed.
The tuner will then automatically return to
the previous tuning mode ready to tune the
next station and the STORE LED will be
extinguished.
STORE mode can be exited by pressing
the MODE button. The preset station data
is stored in a permanent memor y. The
information is retained when the tuner
is switched off.
system remote
handset
operation
The Z130 Tuner is supplied with a System
Remote Handset. which can also be used to
control the Z140 Integrated Amplifier and
Z110 CD Player.
The System Handset keys allocated to control
of the tuner are as follows:
Preset, Manual and Search
These keys allow direct access to any of the
three tuning modes (see front panel MODE
button).
Tune up and tune down
These keys operate exactly as the front panel
TUNE UP/DOWN buttons.
Mono and store
These keys operate exactly as the front panel
MONO and STORE buttons.
DIM and number keys (0-9)
These keys control the tuner but only when
the handset is in Tuner Mode. To put the
handset into Tuner Mode simply press the
TUNER input select key at the top of the
handset. The handset will stay in Tuner Mode
until the CD input select key is pressed.Keypad 0-9
These keys allow direct access to any preset
station. If a preset numbered 10 to 29 is
desired, (e.g. 14) press 1, followed by 4. If
1 is pressed without a second digit, the
tuner will go to preset 1 after few seconds.
Pressing any other number key, from 3 to 9,
will tune instantly to the relevant preset
station.
The 0 key may be used as the second digit
in the normal way to choose presets 10, 20
and so on. However, when the 0 key is
pressed as the ļ¬rst digit it operates in the
same way as the SELECT key on the front
panel (see Front Panel #8 on page 5).
DIM
The display may be switched off using the
DIM key. A second press will turn the display
on again. The display will come on briefly if
any control is used while the display is off.
Standby
Pressing the STANDBY key by itself sends the
command to switch an ampliļ¬er into or out
of STANDBY mode. However, if your Tuner is
linked to the ampliļ¬er via the Smart My-Link
then it will also be switched into or out of
STANDBY.
It is also possible to switch only the Tuner
into or out of by pressing and holding down
the TUNER key and then simultaneously
pressing the STANDBY key. This will switch
the STANDBY status of the Tuner without
affecting any other unit.
If Smart My-Link is being used the STANDBY
and TUNER keys must be released
simultaneously.
installing
and replacing
handset batteries
The System Remote Handset uses four 1.5 V
type A A A batteries. To ļ¬t new batteries ļ¬rst
open the batter y compartment in the rear of
the handset and remove any existing batteries.
Fit the new ones as directed by the symbols
moulded inside the batter y compartment,
then replace the batter y compartment cover.
The batteries should always be removed if
they are discharged (indicated by no remote
control operation or by operation only at ver y
short range), or if the remote control is not
going to be used for an extended period.

connections
1Power inlet
Before making any connection, check that the
mains voltage setting printed on the rear
panel is the same as your local mains supply.
Plug the female (socket) end of one of the
power cords supplied into the power inlet on
the rear of each component. Plug the male
(plug) end of each cord into a live wall
socket or a suitable heavy duty extension
cable.
UK version: The mains plug is supplied fitted
with a 5A fuse. It should only be replaced
with a fuse of the same rating (5A) which
complies with BS1362.
2Power switch
Press one side of this rocker switch (the side
nearer the edge of the rear panel) to switch
the tuner ON and the other side to switch it
OFF. When the POWER switch is in the OFF
position all power is disconnected from the
tuner and it cannot be powered up from the
front panel or the remote control. When the
POWER switch is in the ON position (and
the power cord correctly inserted and plugged
in to a live wall socket) the tuner will power
up in standby mode (see FRONT PANEL
CONTROLS, STANDBY, below).
It is recommended that the POWER switch is
turned OFF if the tuner is not going to be
used for an extended period of time.
3My-Link input/output
When this tuner is used in a system with
other Z-Series (or Myr yad M-Series or
Cameo) products, all may be joined together
via the My-Link. My-Link is a
communications bus that allows all the
linked components to operate together as a
system and distributes the remote commands
received by any one to each of the others. The
simplest function provided by the My-Link
bus is that all linked units will switch into or
out of standby mode when the ampliļ¬er or
remote control standby key is pressed.
Use a short RCA-to-RCA (phono-to-phono)
interconnect cable to connect from the MY-
LINK OUT socket on the amplifier to the
MY-LINK IN socket on the tuner.
A second cable may then be run from the
MY-LINK OUT socket on the tuner to the MY-
LINK IN socket on a Myr yad CD player -
daisy-chain fashion. Further compatible
Myr yad products can be linked in the same
way, running from the MY-LINK OUT socket
on the CD player. Inexpensive interconnects
may be used as the My-Link bus carries only
control signals, not audio, so these cables
have no effect on sound quality.
When Myr yad products equipped with
Smart My-Link are connected via the My-
Link bus, many more powerful system
features are available (see page 7).
4 Antenna input
The tuner is ļ¬tted with a 75-¦ coaxial
antenna socket, which must be used with a
75-¦ antenna (aerial). The tuner is supplied
with a simple wire 300-¦ antenna together
with an impedance matching adaptor. This
antenna is provided to ensure that the tuner
can be set up and used straight out of thebox. It is not adequate to provide full
performance from the tuner except in areas of
particularly high signal strength (e.g. close to
the FM transmitter). In most instances a good
quality roof or loft mounted FM antenna
should be used - see page 7.
The tuner has different coaxial antenna
sockets to suit different countries. North
American models are ļ¬tted with F type
coaxial connectors while models for most
other countries are ļ¬tted with DIN style
connectors. When using the 300-¦ wire
antenna the matching adaptor (or balun)
must be used and DIN versions also need
to be ļ¬tted with the adaptor supplied. See the
illustrations on page 7 for clarification.
When you unfold the wire antenna you will
note that it is in the form of a T. The
crossbar portion of the T should be
stretched out horizontally and tacked in
place, either on a wall or the back of a
cabinet, or on the ceiling. The vertical
section of the T goes to the tuners antenna
input via the balun. Experiment with the
position and orientation of the antenna to
obtain the best reception.
5 Line outputs
These outputs should be connected by high
quality audio interconnects to the TUNER or
or other Line inputs (e.g. AUX) of any
integrated ampliļ¬er or pre-ampliļ¬er. Never
connect to an ampliļ¬ers PHONO inputs.
