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.

We recommend that you use high-quality inter-

quality of the signals.

lead antenna or a connection from a cable sys-  
tem. Note that if the antenna or connection uses  
300-ohm twin-lead cable, you need to use a  
300-ohm-to-75-ohm adapter to make the con-  
nection. The supplied antenna is for indoor use  
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  
transient signals to the speakers that may dam-  
age them.

segments are visible in the lower display line, the  
stronger the signal. By changing the position of  
the antenna, you can increase the signal  
strength. You can also opt for an external anten-  
na, available at your dealer.  
2. For DAB signals, connect the optical or coaxial  
digital output of the TU 970 to an optical digital  
audio input of your pre amplifier or integrated  
amplifier, if available.  
3. Assemble the AM Loop Antenna supplied with  
the unit as shown below. Connect it to the AM  
terminals

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.
