INTRODUCTION
A3 Tuner
FM TUNER with Remote Control and RDS
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Thank you for purchasing the Musical Fidelity
A3 Tuner FM tuner with remote control and RDS.
Used properly and carefully, it should give you many
years of outstanding musical reproduction.
The A3 Tuner is fitted with the latest Radio Data
System (RDS) circuitry allowing station names to be
displayed. This function only works if the tuned station
supports RDS. Special noise reduction techniques are used
to achieve both an excellent technical specification and
unparalleled sound quality.
Aesthetically, the A3 Tuner is a perfect match for the
A3 CD player and A3 or A300 integrated amplifiers.
Together these components form one of the finest
hi-fi systems available.
Dust regularly with a soft duster or soft brush but be
careful when using cleaning or polishing agents - they may
harm the surface finish.
If you have any questions about anything in your
audio system, please consult your dealer who is there to
help and advise you.
