(19) SPEAKERS
This switch enables you to select the following
speaker combinations:
"OFF": Headphones only, all speakers switched
off.
"A': Speaker set connected to “A“ and
headphones switched on.
"B': Speaker set connected to “B“ and
headphones switched on.
“A + B": Speaker sets connected to "A" and “B"
and headphones switched on.
(20) BASS
These knobs adjust the bass of each channel
individually.
(21) TREBLES
These raise and lowerthe intensity ofthe higher
frequencies.
(22) BALANCE LEFT/RIGHT
When the BALANCE control is in the centre
position, the playback signal will be divided
equally between both channels. By turning it
RIGHT or LEFT, the balance can be shifted
more or less onto the right or left channel.
(23) VOLUME
(24) LOUDNESS OFF/ON
At low volumes, the human ear is, by nature,
much less sensitive to extreme bass and treble
notes than it is to the middle range. The BASF
D 6160 HiFi Receiver has been designed to
accommodate this factor through the intro-
duction of a device to raise the volume of the
more extreme bass and treble notes at low
volumes. This device can be activated by
pressing the LOUDNESS ON switch. Inthe OFF
position, frequency response will be linear at all
volume settings.
(25) NOISE FILTER ON/OFF
In the ON position, a noise filter is activated.
This will reduce the noise level (e. g. on old
cassettes or a weak radio station) without
noticeably affecting the tone.
(26) MUTING ON/OFF
The muting switch is for the purpose of
suppressing the noise between individual
stations during FM tuning. However, in the ON
position, some weaker stations may also be
suppressed. If you wish to hear these stations,
turn the muting function off.
(27) MODE STEREO/MONO
If you wish to combine both stereo channels to
form a mono signal, turn the switch to MONO.
In this way, it is possible to up-grade the quality
of a stereo signal. For 2-channel sound
reproduction, the switch should be brought
back to the STEREO position.
(28) This switch controls the playback of tape or
cassettes recorders, the equipment connected
to the rear panel of the Receiver (“A“ and/or
“B"), or the programme source you have
chosen on the SELECTOR switch (29). If you
possess a tape recorder with separate record
and playback heads, it is possible to achieve
immediate “after-tape" monitoring of a record-
ing, either over speakers, or over headphones.
Simply switch on the MONITOR function on
your 3-head deck, and, using the TAPE
MONITOR on the D 6160, select the tape or
cassette recorder (“A“ or “B“) which you wish to
monitor.
The Receiver also offers the facility of
simultaneous recording on two tape recorders
connected to "A' and “B". Simply choose your
recording source on the SELECTOR switch
(29), and switch the TAPE MONITOR to
“SOURCE".
(29) SELECTOR AM/FM/PHONO/AUX
Use this switch to select the required wave-
length (FM or AM), or, alternatively, a
programme source connected to PHONO or
AUX.
(30) AM/FM TUNING DIAL
(31) STEREO
When a stereo station is received, the stereo
indicator will automatically light up. This, of
course, assumes that the MODE switch (27) is
set in the STEREO position.
(32) FM/AM
This indicates which wavelength is being
received.
(33) TUNING (= CENTRE TUNING)
(34) SIGNAL (=FIELD STRENGTH)
Both indicators (33) and (34) serve as tuning
aids for the Receiver, helping to minimise
background noise. Reception of an FM station
is at its best when the SIGNAL indicator gives
its highest reading and the TUNING indicator
points to the centre of the dial. AM reception is
at its best when the SIGNAL indicator gives the
highest reading. The TUNING indicator will not
register with AM reception.
