How to Adjust Zone B Volume Preset
The McIntosh RAA1 Remote Antenna is designed to im-
prove the AM reception in any installation, especially if the
tuner or A/V unit is located in a noisy reception area. Place
the RAA1 away from all interference sources such as AC
power cords and florescent lights, etc. Rotate the antenna
in any direction necessary to reduce interference and re-
ceive maximum signal strength.
Notes:
1. The RAAI Remote AM Antenna of your MX132 has been
factory adjusted for optimum reception in a typical
urban location. If you wish to customize the antenna for
the best possible performance in your location, have
your installer perform the two adjustment operations
listed below.
2. An additional long line AM antenna or external ground
can be connected to the GND and ANT terminals if
desired.
3. Refer to Tuner Functions in the How to Operation the
AM/FM Tuner Section of this Owners Manual when
performing the following steps.
1. Tune to a weak AM station near 600kHz on the AM
band. Using a small NON - METALLIC screwdriver,
adjust the

trans-
former L1

mum sig-
nal

2. Tune to a weak AM station near 1400kHz on the AM
