Help! Is My new Kenwood KT-917 tuner working OK?

[Kuja]

Hi all!

I know that it is a long shot to ask this question here, but I have found members on this forum to be the most knowledgeable around...

My new Kenwood KT-917 tuner has finally arrived.

It is in near mint condition and seems to works flawlessly.

I got no user manual, so I have this question:

There is this DDL LED signal lamp (it is located right above the 102 MHz mark on the tuning scale - see picture).

What is DDL? On this picture found on the net, it is lit up.There is no button on the tuner that controls it.



I tuned to all available stations, but couldn't get this DDL LED to be in the "operate" status...

Is my tuner ok? Everything else works perfectly.

The only thing that I could find on Google, is that DDL could stand for: Distortion Detection Loop

This tuner is 25+ years old and without alignment, its sound quality is better than on my two years old Cambridge Audio T-500 tuner. So I can't really complain...

Thanks in advance,

Aleksandar
