TU 970
OWNER’S MANUAL
Power for the Digital Revolution®
Introduction
Congratulations! With the purchase of the
Harman Kardon TU 970 you are about to begin
many years of listening enjoyment.
Description and Features
The TU 970 is equipped with DAB (Digital Audio
Broadcast) and RDS (Radio Data System),
bringing a wide range of information to radio
listeners.
While sophisticated systems are hard at work
within the TU 970 to make all of this happen,
hookup and operation are simple.
Until now, analogue radio signals such as FM
or AM have been subject to numerous kinds of
interference on their way from the transmitter to
your radio. These problems were caused by
mountains, high-rise buildings and weather
conditions.
To obtain maximum enjoyment from your new
tuner, we urge you to take a few minutes to read
through this manual. This will ensure that
connections are made properly. In addition, a
few minutes spent learning the functions of the
various controls will enable you to take advan-
tage of all the power the TU 970 is able to deliver.
With DAB, you can now receive CD-like quality
radio programs without any annoying interference
and signal distortion.
If you have any questions about this product, its
installation or operation, please contact your
dealer. He is your best local source of information.
Now in use in many countries, RDS is a system
for transmitting station identification, a descrip-
tion of the station’s program type, indication of
national, regional or local programs and the
correct time. RDS also allows you to search for
favorite program types. A DOT-matrix display
brings all this information to you with high
visibility. As more FM stations become equipped
with RDS capabilities, the TU 970 will serve as
an easy to use center for both information and
entertainment.

only.
When making connections to audio source
equipment it is always a good practice to unplug
the unit from the AC wall outlet. This prevents
any possibility of accidentally sending audio or

When all connections are complete, plug the
power cord into a non-switched 230 Volt AC
wall outlet. You’re ready to enjoy the TU 970!
For best reception, place the antenna away from
the unit as well as from sources of RF emissions
such as a television or computer. It should also
be placed away from contact with any metal
object. In areas where signals are weak, an out-
door antenna may improve sound and reception
quality. Connect the antenna making certain to
also connect a ground wire to the GND termi-
nals.
