themselves must change as well as the rear panel jumpers (to identify
each Tuner module as Tuner 1 or Tuner 2).
Examine the configuration of the jumpers located on the Tuner Modules,
to the right of the 20-pin ribbon cable connector (as seen when viewing
the installed modules from the front of the controller).

Removing the Pre-Installed Tuner Module
Mi Series Audio Controllers include one DAS-AMFM Tuner Module as a
standard accessory. Since each tuner module uses one source input on
the audio controller, in some cases it may be desirable to remove the
tuner module in order to use that source input for other purposes.
WARNING: Disconnect all power sources before opening the chassis.
Failure to disconnect power before performing this installation may cause
injury or death.
1. Remove the cover from the controller.
2. Carefully remove the ribbon cable from the tuner module.
3. Remove the screws from the Tuner module cover plate at the right
top corner of the rear panel and slide the tuner module out of the
chassis.
4. Place all jumpers in the “Off” position (FIG. 8).

FIG. 6 Dual Tuner Cable Hook-Up
Setting the Jumpers in the Controller
Examine the configuration of the jumpers on the rear board (see FIG. 5).
The jumpers should be in the “Off” position, with the top pair of pins in
each configuration exposed and the jumpers connecting the second and
third set of pins.
Move the top and bottom set of jumpers to the “On” position,
connecting the first two sets of pins and leaving the third set exposed.
• Reconnect power to the unit and turn it on to make sure that the
tuners are properly integrated with the controller.
• If both tuners are functioning properly, remove power and replace the
unit cover.
