FRONT PANEL
@ POWER Switch
@ PHONES Jack
© SPEAKERS Select Buttons
These buttons are used to select speaker
systems A and/or B.
Note:
When a speaker system with an impedance
of less than 6 ohms is connected, do not
press the SPEAKERS A and B buttons
simultaneously.
@ BASS/TREBLE Tone Controls
These two tone controls — BASS and TRE-
BLE — can be used to obtain a "flat" fre-
quency response or a tone which suits your
individual
listening preference. The BASS
control
adjusts low frequencies
and the
TREBLE control adjust the high frequencies.
If the SOURCE
DIRECT button is pressed
ON, the frequency response is always flat
regardless of the settings of the BASS and
TREBLE controls.
© LOUDNESS Button
Press this switch to ON (the indicator above
the button lights) to boost the high and low
frequency response when listening to the
sound at a relatively low level. Normally
set this switch to the OFF
position (the
indicator goes out).
@ SOURCE DIRECT Button
When this button is pressed and the indi-
cator above the button
lights, the signal
selected by the INPUT SELECTOR switch
is connected
to the
VOLUME
control
circuit
directly,
bypassing
the
BASS,
TREBLE, BALANCE,
LOUDNESS control
and SUBSONIC
circuits so that
higher
signal
quality
is obtained.
When
the
source direct mode is selected, the indi-
cator lights and only the VOLUME control,
REC
SELECTOR
and
MUTING
button
are effective. This function is held until the
button is pressed again.
@ SUBSONIC Button
When this button is pressed, low-frequency
noise due to motor wobble, etc. can be cut.
@ REC SELECTOR Switch
This switch is used to select the source of
the signals to be output from the TAPE
REC (excluding TAPE 3) jacks on the rear
panel,
to
be recorded.
When
the
REC
SELECTOR switch is in the SOURCE posi-
She
tion, the signal selected
by the
INPUT
SELECTOR switch can be recorded.
© INPUT SELECTOR Switch
@ BALANCE Control
This control is used to adjust the balance
between the left and right channels. Normal-
ly set to the center (click) position.
@® MUTING Button
Press this button to momentarily reduce the
gain by -20 dB.
Note:
If this button is released when the volume
level is too high, the speakers
may
be
damaged. Be careful.
@ CARTRIDGE Selector Button
Press this button according to the type of
the cartridge in the turntable (to either MC
(moving coil) (2) or MM (moving magnet)
(O)).
® VOLUME Control
This control is used to adjust the level of the
signals output to the speaker systems and
headphones.
@ ADAPTOR/TAPE3 Button
Press this button to the ON position (the
LED above the button lights) when using
the ADAPTOR/TAPE 3 jacks on the rear
panel. If a tape deck is connected to these
jacks, these jacks allow only the source
selected by the INPUT SELECTOR
switch
to be recorded and during playback, it has
priority over other sources. (However, when
the SOURCE
DIRECT button is set to the
ON position, other sources are output to the
speaker terminals.)
If these jacks are not
used, be sure to set the ADAPTOR/TAPE3
button to the OFF ( 1)
position (the LED
above the button is unlit).
