[R-390] R-391 Set-up

[Paul]

>Time to tap the collective's knowledge and experience again - I am in the
process of setting up my R-391 and PP-629 and need to know what the other
connector marked "Auto Tune" on the back panel of the R-391 is for ? 
>Am I missing another piece of the pie ? Also, where is the best spot for me
to find a copy of the manual for this receiver ?


Yup, you're missing a couple pieces. The Auto Tune connector on the back
panel is for the remote channel selection switch cable and the separate
remote channel switch. I don't recall the nomenclature but they are just a
cable and a remote control box with a rotary channel selection switch
similar to what is on the front panel, which allows remote operation of the
channel selection. That is the purpose of the "Remote-Local Autotune" switch
on the R391 panel, just below the left hand side of the frequency bezel. You
use that to select between the panel mounted "local" switch and the remotely
mounted switch for channel control.

I have a couple versions of the R-391 manual in .pdf format, but they are
quite huge, even when zipped and I couldn't email them as complete
documents, too big for an email attachment with my ISP. I could probably
split them up into four or five sections so I could send them individually
and you could either merge them together to make a complete manual yourself,
or just view them as separate files to see the entire document.

Let me know if you would like that, or if you are after a paper manual. I
won't let go of my original manuals so you have to find a paper manual
elsewhere. If you didn't want an original, just print off the .pdf file, a
little over 300 pages.
