Creek Audio Radio Evolution RDS User Manual

EVOLUTION  
RDS AM/FM TUNER  
Designed and engineered  
in the United Kingdom  
Instruction Manual  
Thank you for purchasing the Creek Evolution tuner. You are now in possession of a State of the Art RDS AM/FM tuner.  
The Evolution is the matching tuner for the Evolution Integrated Amplifier and CD Player, although it will also work very well  
with any other manufacturers’ amplifiers. The functions and operation of the Evolution tuner are deceptively simple for the  
many features that it offers, all of which can be remotely controlled.  
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS  
Read all the instructions before connecting or operating the unit. Keep this manual so you can refer to these safety  
instructions.  
WATER & MOISTURE  
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the unit to moisture or water. If the unit is exposed to moisture,  
immediately disconnect the power cord from the wall. Take the unit to an authorised service centre for inspection. Do not  
touch the unit, power cord, or plug with wet hands.  
VENTILATION  
You must allow 5 cm (2 inches) of unobstructed clearance around the unit. Do not place the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or  
similar surface that could block ventilation from the bottom.  
HEAT  
Keep the unit away from naked flames, radiators, stoves, or any other heat-producing appliances (including amplifiers).  
RACK & STANDS  
Place the unit on a fixed, level surface strong enough to support its weight, such as the Creek Audio Rack. Do not place  
it on a moveable device that could tip over.  
CLEANING  
Unplug the unit from the mains supply before cleaning. The case should normally require only a wipe with a soft lint-free  
cloth.  
POWER SOURCES  
Only connect the unit to a power supply of the type and voltage described in the operating instructions or specified on the  
rear panel of the unit.  
POWER CORD PROTECTION  
Connect the unit to the power outlet only with the cord supplied. Do not modify the supplied cable in any way. Do not  
attempt to defeat grounding and/or polarisation provisions. Do not use extension cords. Do not route the power cord  
where it will be crushed, pinched, bent at severe angles, exposed to heat, or damaged in any way.  
NON-USE PERIODS  
If the unit is to be left unused for a long period of time, the power cord should be unplugged from the wall outlet.

Stereo at the top of the display. Auto will disappear and Mono will change to Stereo when a station is tuned in stereo and

USING THE REMOTE CONTROL  
Note: Install the two AAA batteries supplied with the remote control.  
The Evolution handset is a system remote control and therefore not all buttons control the Evolution tuner. To use the  
remote control with the Evolution tuner make sure the CD/TUNER button is in the up position. Buttons that function with  
the tuner are shown in green type on the handset. CD player buttons are shown in grey against a black background. Some  
buttons are dual use and will have both grey and green descriptions. Refer to the Evolution CD manual for CD player  
button descriptions. Do not place anything in front of the display area of the unit, or the remote control may not work.
