Basic Operation
The TU 970 is simple to operate, and very similar
to tuners you may have used in the past.This
section will explain the use of several features
that may be new to you.
• Install the two supplied AAA batteries in the
remote as shown. Be certain to observe the (+)
and (–) polarity indicators shown in the bottom
of the battery compartment.
• When using the TU 970 for the first time, it
will be placed in a standby mode, as indicated
by the amber color of the Power Indicator
1
.
Once the unit is in standby, you may begin a lis-
tening session by pressing the System Power
Control
2
on the front panel or the Power
On button
0
on the remote control. Note
that the Power Indicator
1
will turn blue.To
turn the unit off at the end of a listening session
simply press the System Power Control
2
on the front panel or the Standby button
0
on the remote.This places the unit in the Stand-
by mode, and the Power Indicator
1
will turn
amber to remind you that the unit is ready for
operation when a power command is received
from the remote.
When you will be away from home for an
extended period of time it is always a good idea
to completely turn the unit off by unplugging it
from the AC wall outlet. Note that the backup
system in the TU 970 will retain information
such as programmed presets for 14 days.

play, press the Dimmer button

panel.The first press will dim the lights to half
