Magnetic tuning question.
#1

I  have a 37-116.  The magnetic tuning works but i have a "understanding" question.
I have read some theory etc on line but...

The alignment instructions say that when you turn off  the magnetic tuning there should be no
change in tone response.  Im having a hard time understanding this.  If the purpose of the magnetic tuner is to get to and keep the exact center of the broadcast, then when it is turned off  would not treble decrease?  -- because you are now not perfectly centered?  ( ie back to manually tuning) 

SO, If i am not likely perfectly centered  (manually) and especially if i have the treble/selectivity  knob to the widest band,  then i would be outside of the 10khz broadcast  range on one side. If  I turn off the magnetic tuner,  i  am now off-centered and dont get both sides of the  end of band (treble).  Thus tone would change.

The opposite when i turn it on?  I should hear a more tone (treble)  change because i now am getting the whole band because i am centered. 

Sorry newbie question, i am obviously missing something.
