ENGLISH

Select the FM antenna that best meets
your needs:
1. Connect the indoor dipole antenna

supplied with your TU940 to the 
75 Ohm FM ANTENNA input 

➀

as

shown on the left page. This will work
well in a strong signal area, but it may
be necessary to change the position
of the antenna for the best reception
of your favorite stations. Make certain
that the half wave antenna is
extended to full length.

2. Other indoor antennas are available

from your dealer. They may improve
reception by offering greater
positioning flexibility.

3. If reception is unsatisfactory using

indoor antennas, disconnect it and
install an outdoor antenna as shown

➁

. Use a 300/75 Ohm adapter if the

lead from the antenna is 300 Ohm
twin lead wire as shown on the left
page.

4. The FM 75 Ohm imput of the TU940

may also be connected to the FM
service of a cable antenna system.

Connect the supplied AM loop antenna
to the terminals marked AM LOOP
ANTENNA 

➂

. For best reception, place

the antenna away from the unit as well
as from sources of RF emissions such
as a television or computer. It should
also be placed away from contact with
any metal object.
In areas where signals are weak, an
outdoor antenna may improve sound
and reception quality. Connect the
antenna as shown 

➃

making certain to

also connect a ground wire to the GND
terminals.

Using the cable provided, connect the
left and right OUTPUT sockets 

➅

on the

back of the TU940 to the tuner input on
your preamplifier or integrated amplifier.
Be certain to observe proper channel
connections using the color-coded
cables and connectors so that red
connects right channels and white
connects left channels. To avoid
possible damage to your speakers, be
certain to push each plug all the way
into its socket.
NOTE: Before making any audio
connections, unplug all components of
your audio system from their AC power
outlets. To reduce the possibility of hum
or noise in your system, place all audio
interconnection cables away from both
AC power cords and speaker wires.

Via the REMOTE IN/OUT sockets, it is
possible to control the UP/DOWN
tuning, BAND and PRESET functions
(and others, depending on the remote
control used) of the TU940 when used
with a Harman Kardon remote controlled
amplifier, even if the integrated Remote
Sensor (see label on the front side) of
the TU940 is covered. Connect the
REMOTE IN 

➆

of the TU940 to the

REMOTE OUT of another Harman
Kardon product. Use the remote
provided with the amplifier by pointing it
at the amplifier, not at the TU940. If you
have additional Harman Kardon
components, you may continue the
remote control connection by running a
wire from the TU940 REMOTE OUT to
the REMOTE IN of the next component
to be connected.

Plug the POWER CORD 

➇

into an AC

mains outlet or into the switched AC
outlet on the rear of your amplifier.

Use to select the preset number of a
station that has been entered into the
preset memories or to store a station in
the memory in conjunction with
MEMORY 

7.

To recall a previously programmed
station, press the appropriate numeric
button(s). For single digit numbers 
(1-9), press the number and the station
will be tuned at once or in a few
seconds. To recall preset locations 10
through 30, press the desired buttons in
order and the station will be tuned at
once.
To use the buttons to enter a station to
the preset memory, see page 10.

The display panel contains a large
display for station frequency information
and RDS data, as well as status
indicators for various tuner functions
and 5-step RF level indicator bars.

Press to change between FM and AM
frequency bands.

Press to change the passband of the
intermediate frequency to compensate
for interference from adjacent stations.
NARROW: When reception is disturbed
by interference from other stations,
press until NARROW is lit. This improves
reception.
NORMAL: For normal reception, press
until NORMAL is lit.

Press to change between bright and dim
display lighting or display off.

Use to enter stations into the preset
memory or to start the Auto Preset

Press to automatically step through
each of the stations that have been
preset into the memory. Each
programmed station will play for
approximately five seconds. To stop at a
desired station, press again, while the
station is playing.

This knob has a number of functions,
although it's primary use is to select
stations. In normal use, turn the knob in
either direction to move through the
selected band to find a station. When
the TUNED indicator lights, the station is
properly locked in.
A number of automated tuning methods
are also available:
In the FM mode, when AUTO/MAN 

& is

pressed so that the AUTO indicator is lit,
turning the tuning knob clockwise will
cause the tuner to scan higher frequen-
cies. When turned counterclockwise,
lower frequencies will be scanned. The
tuner will stop at the first station that has
acceptable signal strength. Turn the
knob again in the same direction to tune
to the next available station.
When TUNE/P.SET 

8 is pressed so that

the PRESET indicator is lit, turning the
TUNING knob 

) will move the tuner up

or down through the stations
programmed into the unit's memory.
The Tuning Knob also functions as a

Pressing this button will start the
sequence for direct entry of a station’s
frequency. After pressing the button
simply press the proper Numeric Keys
2 to tune the station.
For more information see next page.

Press to display current frequency,
station name or RDS information. Press
again to move to the next item in the
following order:
If a non-RDS-station is tuned:
Frequency, station name (if a name is
entered manually). If an RDS station is
tuned: Station Name, Band and
Frequency, Program Type (PTY), Radio
Text, Time.
If an RDS station is tuned (only FM)
indicators for available RDS information
will be shown next to the red RDS
indicator in the display: PTY (Program
Type), RT (Radio Text) or CT (Clock
Time) will light up, if the station is
broadcasting this information. The RDS
information available will vary.

Press to change mode of FM reception.
• Press so that the MONO indicator is

not lit and all stations received with a
signal strength high enough for
acceptable audio performance will be
heard, eigther in stereo (the red stereo
indicator is lit) or in mono, just as they
are transmitted. The sound of all
weaker stations will be muted.

• Press so that the MONO indicator is lit

and all stations, including all stereo
transmissions, will be heard in mono.

NOTE: When experiencing weak or
noisy reception of a stereo broadcast,
reception quality may be improved by
pressing FM MODE to switch to mono.

Press to compensate for RF intermo-
dulation noise caused by interference
from other strong stations in your area.
• In urban areas or with cable systems

where reception is strong and there
are many stations, press until LOCAL
indicator is lit. This will attenuate the
signal strength of all stations received
(RF LEVEL indicator bars in the display
will show lower signal strength) and
thus may reduce intermodulation noise
and provide better sound quality.

• When tuning distant stations, press so

that the LOCAL indicator is not lit. This
improves the tuner's ability to receive
weak signals with lower noise, and –
when needed – press the FM MODE
button 

% until the MONO indicator is

lit to make weak station audible.

Press so that the AUTO indicator is lit to
engage the automatic tuning system.
When in the AUTO mode, turning the
TUNING knob 

) causes the tuner to

scan for the next available station with
sufficient signal strength and stop.
Turn the Tuning knob again to continue
through the frequency band to the next
station.
