- MUTE OFF / MONO BUTTON  
The Mute Off / Mono control button is not  
replicated on the remote control. It is  
designed to enable the TU6 to receive weak  
signal strength stations. Operation of this

This socket is for the connection of the FM  
antenna provided. The antenna should be  
extended and positioned for the best  
reception however it should be noted that  
superior performance will be achieved using  
a professionally installed outdoor antenna.  
NOTE: Outdoor antenna's can be dangerous  
if incorrectly installed and through incorrect  
earthing - we recommend using the services  
of a registered contractor for outdoor antenna  
installation.

NOTE: If you have turned off the TU6 and  
turn it on again, it will tune into the station  
frequency to which it was tuned immediately  
before turn-off.  
INSTALLATION  
PROCEDURES  
/
OPERATION  
The Perreaux Tuner employs a quartz PLL  
synthesiser for easy and accurate tuning.  
Tuning frequency is visible on the digital  
display, and you can tune in to the desired  
station very accurately. With the units  
memory circuit, you can pre-set memory  
tuning, letting you recall a stored station  
frequency instantly with a single tap of a  
button.  
- AM / GROUND ANTENNA SOCKETS  
These sockets are for the connection of the  
AM loop antenna provided. Again this  
antenna should be positioned for the best  
reception. A mounting clip is provided on the  
rear panel to hold this antenna. It should be  
noted that the inherent performance of AM  
signal broadcasts is not of high fidelity and  
can be noisy, hence the reason for the  
popularity of FM broadcasts.  
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION  
PRECAUTIONS  
Precautions which should be observed  
during installation and operation are:  
- Leave sufficient clearance between the top  
of the TU6 and the bottom of  
equipment  
above if installed in a rack or stack.  
One station can store one AM or one FM  
station in its memory; a total of 20 AM or FM  
stations can be stored.  
- Always operate in a horizontal position.  
- LEFT / RIGHT OUTPUT SOCKETS  
These are high quality gold plated RCA type  
sockets for the connection of the TU6 to a  
pre or integrated amplifiers TUNER input.  
When connecting the TU6 to auxiliary  
equipment terminate the interconnect cables  
with a red plug for the right channel and  
white, black or blue for the left channel.  
These are the most commonly accepted  
- Install away from excessive heat and  
The power source of the TU6's memory  
circuit is a capacitor back-up type. The  
electrical energy accumulated in the  
capacitor while the unit was switched ON will  
retain the frequencies stored in the memory  
circuit for a minimum of seven (7) days.  
moisture.  
Do not allow the ambient  
temperature around the TU6 to exceed 40º  
Celsius (105º Fahrenheit.)  
- Check the mains/line voltage stated on the  
rear panel of your .TU6 Supply voltage must  
be within +/- 5% of the stated voltage.  
Before commencing operation, check to  
make sure all antenna preamplifier and  
power connections are properly made.

- Connect all your hi-fi equipment to the same  
mains/line source to avoid possible earthing  
problems.  
- Set the volume control on the control  
amplifier to a low position and selection

- Always contact an approved PERREAUX  
dealer if any changes are noted in  
performance.  
The TU6 will operate satisfactorily within a  
voltage variation of up to +/- 5% of that  
voltage at which the unit has been set.  
If you require the voltage setting to be  
altered, e.g. relocation to another area, city or  
country, or extraordinarily high or low  
voltages, contact your Perreaux dealer. This  
modification can only be performed by  
qualified service personnel.  
- Always ensure the volume control on your  
control amplifier is set low before making any  
connection alterations or when changing  
input sources. The reason for this precaution  
is to protect your loudspeakers against bursts  
of very high powered signals from high level  
sources such as a CD player or whilst tuning  
the TU6 between stations when high level  
spurious noise can be present. Situations can  
arise when playing a low output cassette with  
a fairly high volume control setting then  
switching to CD or Tuner where a high level  
of signal may be present at the source input  
sockets. The resulting burst of high power  
may damage your speakers or cause  
damage in some power amplifiers.  
NOTE  
:
Always ensure this unit is  
disconnected from the Mains/Line supply  
before any covers are removed  
Any modifications to the mains/line voltage  
setting within your Perreaux product may only  
be carried out by a approved Perreaux  
service agent. Failure to recognise this  
warning will void any warranty.  
MAINS/LINE FUSE  
- Make all connections logically and care-  
fully, checking that you are maintaining  
channel integrity.  
The Perreaux TU6 is equipped with internal  
mains/line fuses which are not user  
serviceable. These fuses do not usually blow  
without a reason. Any doubts about fuse  
failure should be conveyed directly to your  
Perreaux dealer.  
- Install your Tuner close enough to your  
control amplifier to avoid stretching or  
extending your interconnect leads.  
- Keep your interconnect cables and antenna  
leads away from all mains / line cables and  
speaker leads.  
NOTE: Always ensure your TU6 is  
disconnected from the mains/line supply if  
attempting to change the mains/line fuse.  
MAINS/LINE VOLTAGE CHANGE  
It is important that the TU6 be operated from  
the correct mains/line voltage. This unit is  
factory set for the voltage applicable to the  
original country of destination. The correct  
operating voltage is indicated by the voltage  
label on the rear panel (see section MAINS  
LINE VOLTAGE LABEL).
