Prior to the installation of the inser-tion, disconnect the mains plug of the amplifier or of the PA-1200EX from the mains socket. Otherwise there is an electric shock hazard.1) Remove the housing cover of the amplifier or of the PA-1200EX. Screw off the cover for the insertion compart-ment on the front side of the amplifier or of the PA-1200EX. Install the insertion and tighten it with screws.3) Connect the bare three-pole cable of the ampli-fier or of the PA-1200EX to the pin housing of position c (see fig. 2). This allows to supply the insertion with 17 V (⎓) and to feed the audio signal to the amplifier. If required, two further audio outputs are available: balanced mono output at the connection d unbalanced stereo output at the connection e To install the supplied antenna jack (fig. 3) on the rear side of the amplifier or of the PA-1200EX, unscrew the cover panel (fig. 4) or remove the cover plate (fig.5).

5.1 Operation of the CD / MP3 player

It is possible to replay audio CDs including those you have burnt yourself (CD-R) and CDs with titles in the MP3 format. In case of rewritable CDs (CD-RW), however, problems may occur during replay depending on the CD type, the CD burner and the burning programme used.Via the USB port, also MP3 files can be replayed from a USB flash drive.Note: Due to the large number of storage device manu-facturers and device drivers, it cannot be guaranteed that all storage media are compatible with the MP3 player.

5.2 Operation of the tuner

Once a CD or a USB flash drive has been inserted, the unit will automatically be switched to replay from the CD or USB flash drive. Press the button MODE (3) to switch between radio reception and replay from the CD or USB flash drive.

5.2.1 Station tuning and storing

The tuner is able to receive FM and medium wave stations. To allow storing of more than six stations with the six station buttons (6, 7, 8, 14, 15), the FM band has been divided into three identical subbands. In each of the three subbands (F 1, F 2, F 3) and in the medium wave band (MW), six stations can be stored

i. e. a total of 18 FM and 6 medium wave stations.

Select the desired band with the button BAND(4). It is recommended to store six stations in the band F 1 first and then to switch over to the band F 2 and then to F 3.

For station tuning, use either the automatic or manual station scan: To start the automatic station scan, briefly press the button (11) (forward) or (backward). The automatic station scan stops at the next station. During the station scan, SEARCH is displayed. Re- start the station scan repeatedly until the desired station is received. For manual station scan, keep the button or pressed until MANUAL is briefly displayed. Then the received frequency can be increased or re duced step by step with each press of the button (in the FM band by 50 kHz, in the medium wave band by 9 kHz). To run quickly through a great range for manual station scan, keep the but- ton or pressed. After manual station scan, the unit switches to automatic station scan again after a few seconds unless the button

has been pressed again before. AUTO is briefly displayed.

3) When the station has been tuned, keep the de-

sired numerical key (6, 7, 8, 14, 15) pressed until the station number and “ch” appear on the right in the display (see fig. 1). Then the station is stored under this number in the respective subband.

5.2.2 Calling up stored stations

Use the button BAND (4) to select the band in which the desired station has been stored.

2) Select the number of the station with the corre-

sponding numerical key (6, 7, 8, 14, 15).

3) Adjust the desired volume with the volume con-

With a stereo programme, ST appears on the top left of the display.

If the selected station transmits RDS information (radio data system), the name of the station is dis- played instead of the frequency. Some stations show additional information alternately with the station name, e. g. music title, artist. If a station offers traffic programme, TP is dis- played. If EON (enhanced other networks) is shown and a programme is received which currently does not offer a traffic programme, the tuner automat- ically switches to another programme of the same broad casting station when traffic messages are transmitted there. After the traffic announcement, the unit switches back to the previous programme. Information With the button DISP (12), the following information can be displayed:

press of button time indication If no time is transmitted, NO CLOCK is displayed. The time is not transmitted continuously; there- fore, it may take a few minutes until the time is available after the radio has been switched on.

press of button indication of the band (F1, F2, F3, MW) and of the station frequency

press of button indication of the programme type If no programme type is indicated by the station, PTY NONE is displayed.

press of button station name (basic setting) The display switches to the basic setting after 5seconds if no button is pressed. This information can also be displayed with the button DISP during the replay from a CD or USB flash drive. Alternative frequencies If AF is continuously displayed (not flashing), the pro- gramme is also broadcast on alternative frequencies of neighbouring stations. Then the unit automatically changes to the station which can be received best. With the button AF/ REG (9), this function can be switched off (AF will be not be displayed any more) and switched on again. Some stations temporarily broadcast a different programme depending on the region, e. g. regional news. To make sure that the same regional pro- gramme will be selected when the unit switches to a station with better reception, the regional pro- gramme mode can be switched on. Keep the but- ton AF/ REG pressed for 3 seconds until REG ON is briefly displayed. With the mode switched on, REG is displayed. To switch off the mode, keep the button AF/ REG pressed again for 3 seconds until REG OFF is briefly displayed.13 English Programme type With the button PTY (16) one of the stored stations can be selected which currently broadcasts music or information of a special category.

Switch on the function programme type with the button PTY (16). Thus, a more detailed selection of the music group is possible. One category of this group is displayed. To switch to the word group, press the button PTY again. The display shows a category of this group. (With the third press of the button, the function programme type is switched off again.)

2) (Repeatedly) press the corresponding nu merical

key to select the desired category of the group chosen before. Among the stored stations, the unit searches for the station which currently broadcasts a programme in the selected cate- gory. During the search, the sound is switched off. If the unit cannot find a station with the de- sired category, the message PTY NONE flashes in the display after some time, and the unit goes to the station last tuned.
