When it is pushed again, the power is switched off. @ LOUDNESS SWITCH Push this switch to the "ON" position for low- volume sound listening. The bass and treble are em- phasized and you can sit back and listen to a dynamic sound even under low-volume conditions, @ SUBSONIC FILTER SWITCH ‘The subsonic filter with the 15 Hz cutoff frequency is actuated when this switch is depressed to the 15 Hz (ON) position This filter serves to attenuate frequencies lower than 15 Hz with @ 6 dB/oct slope and, therefore, it can be used to suppress the ultra-low-range noise which is generated by record warp and other factors. This noise cannot actually be heard by the ear but it can ‘cause cross modulation distortion and even speaker damage. Use this switch when required during record play. @ ADAPTOR/TAPE 2 SWITCH This is used when operating an adaptor (such as a tape creating amplifier} or when playing back @ tape in a tape deck connected to the rear panel ADAP- TOR/TAPE 2 terminals. @ ADAPTOR/TAPE 2 INDICATOR This lights when the ADAPTOR/TAPE 2 s\ set to ON. Ch is @ OUTPUT POWER INDICATORS. ‘The left and right indicators show the output level (in watts) when a speaker system an 8ohm nomial impedance has been connected to the unit. “L"" indicates the left channel output level and "R” the right channel. @ FUNCTION INDICATORS ‘The indicator corresponding to the function switch which has been pushed lights. Each indicator has a " @" for PHONO, “ #8” for TUNER, “ for CD/VIDEO and” ao “ for TAPE 1 © FUNCTION SWITCHES PHONO: Used when playing records on a turntable @ connected to the rear panel PHONO ter- minals. TUNER: Used when listening to broadcasts on the # tuner connected to the rear panel TUNER terminals. CD/VIDEO: Used when operating @ TV tuner or com- © __ pact disc player etc. connected to the rear panel CD/VIDEO terminals. TAPE 1: Used when playing back tapes in the tape ao deck connected to the rear panel TAPE 1 terminals. @ SPEAKER SELECTOR SWITCHES. Select the switch that corresponds to the speaker systems through which the sound is to be heard. When the switch is pressed, the sound is heard through the speaker systems selected.FRONT PANEL FACILITIES ‘A: The sound is heard from the speakers con- nected to the speaker A terminals on the rear panel. B: The sound is heard from the speakers con- nected to the speaker B terminals on the rear panel. No sound will be heard when SPEAKERS A and B switches are both released. This is the position at which the sound can be heard through the head- phones. NOTE: ‘No sound will be heard through the speakers when both the A and B switches are depressed if only one set of speakers has been connected to either the A or B ‘SPEAKERS terminals. @ PHONES JACK Plug the headphones into this jack securely for private listening. Nore: ‘Make ita rule to turn down the volume before plugging in the headphones. A loud sound can hurt your ears. @ BASS CONTROL This is used to adjust the bass sound, When rotated clockwise from the center DEFEAT position, the bass is emphasized; when rotated counterclockwise, the bass is attenuated. @ TREBLE CONTROL This is used to adjust the treble sound. When rotated clockwise from the center DEFEAT position, the treble is emphasized; when rotated counterclockwise, the treble is attenuated. @ BALANCE CONTROL This is normally kept at the CENTER position. It should be adjusted when the left/right stereo balance has become lopsided, Rotate the control to the left when the right channel sound is too loud; rotate it to the right when the left channel sound is too loud. @ CD/VIDEO 1, 2 SELECTOR SWITCH Use this to select the component which has been connected to the auxiliary (CD/VIDEO 1, 2) terminals on the rear panel. @ VOLUME CONTROL This is used to adjust the sound volume of the speakers and headphone. No sound will be heard when the control has been set to the “0” position. Rotate the control clockwise to increase the sound level, y-~ OUTPUT POWER INDICATORS — LEeT FIGHT The output power indicators show the output level when speaker systems with a nominal im- pedance of 8 ohms have been connected to the rear panel speaker terminals. The output level (peak value) is indicated in watts by the scale units, Since a logarithmic compression scale is Used, outputs ranging from the weak (0.01 W) to the strong (100 W) can be displayed without selecting the range. During actual play the impedance of the speaker systems changes in accordance with the frequen- cy. For this reason, the value indicated is not an exact representation of the output but only a rough guide.
