CREEK T40 FM TUNER

GETTING STARTED – Quick Instructions

Carefully unpack your T40 from its box. Don' t throw the box and packing away – in the unlikely

event that you may need to return your T40 to the factory for service, the specially designed

packaging will prevent damage in transit.

Check that the voltage of your mains electricity supply (house current) is the same as that stated on

the rear panel of the T40. If you are in any doubt please contact your dealer. Permanent damage

to your tuner may be caused if it is connect to a mains supply of the wrong voltage.

Attach a mains plug to the end of the 3-core mains supply lead, if one is not already attached. Make

sure that the coloured wires are connected to the correct terminals in the plug. If you are in any

doubt, please consult your dealer. Permanent damage to your tuner (or to you) may be caused if

the plug is incorrectly connected to the cable. Plug in to a convenient socket (receptacle).

Connect the audio output of the T40 to the " TUNER" or " RADIO" input of your amplifier. There are

two sets of outputs on the rear panel of the tuner –

¦ Two phone (RCA) sockets, left and right, providing low level output (100mV)

¦ One 5-pin DIN socket providing medium level stereo output (350mV)

Use whichever is more suitable for your amplifier, or the connecting leads you have. It

matter which you use for now – no damage will occur either to the tuner or to the rest of your

equipment if you use the wrong one, but the sound may be either distorted or too quiet. This is

covered in more detail later in the handbook.

Note:

A short lead is provided in the tuner packaging with a DIN plug at each end for

connecting the DIN output on the T40 to the "TUNER" input on our companion amplifiers

CAS4040 and CAS4140.

If stacking the two unis ALWAYS stand the amplifier on top of the tuner, not the other way up. This

is to allow adequate airflow to the heat-sinks at the rear of the amplifier for cooling, and avoids

' cooking' the tuner in the amplifier' s heat.

Connect an aerial (antenna) to the aerial socket or terminals on the tuner' s rear panel. There are

screw terminals provided for ribbon type cable, and a socket for a 75 ohm co-axial cable. Aerials,

Signals and Noises are covered in more detail later in this handbook, but please note that

however good a Tuner may be, it is only as good as the signal it receives. Good Signals mean Good

Aerials. The CAS3140 will perform better than most tuners using only a cheap indoor aerial, but you

will not benefit from its full capability unless you and your tuner are treated to a good quality aerial

installation.

You should now have your CAS3140 connected to an aerial of some kind, a suitable amplifier (and

loudspeakers) and plugged into the mains supply.

loudspeakers (or your ears) make sure that the Volume control on the amplifier is turned to a low

setting. You can now switch on the amplifier, and select the Tuner or Radio input with the selector

switch.

On the CAS3140 make sure that the four push-button switches on the left of the front panel are in

the ' out' position. (This is the normal operating position for these switches.)

Press in the power switch on the right end of the front panel. The Frequency Display in the centre of

the panel should now have green numbers showing, and the other indicator lights may also be lit.

Don' t worry if they aren' t – that comes next.

Turn the Tuning knob on the right of the display until the frequency of a local broadcast programme

is displayed. If you don' t know the frequencies of any local broadcasts, then go to Step 11 below.

10.

The Tuning Indicator above the tuning knob should now be lit and, if you turn up the volume control

on the amplifier, you should now be able to hear the broadcast. If so, then move straight to 15

below. If the Tuning Indicator is not lit, then the station you have chosen may not be strong enough,

or you may have selected the frequency incorrectly.

11.

Turn the tuning knob slowly to tune along the FM band and you should fid a station which is strong

enough to light the indicator, and be audible. If you are now listening to a broadcast, go to 15 below.

As a precaution against damage to your
