SPEAKERS (Speaker select switch)
ENGLISH
The PMA-500V allows two speaker systems, designated A and B, to be connected.
@ System-A: The speaker system connected to the speaker output terminal A is operated.
@ System-B: The speaker system connected to the speaker output terminal B is operated.
@ A+B: The speaker systems connected to the speaker output terminals A and B are operated
simultaneously.
e@ Off: Sound from both speaker systems is cut off. This setting is used to eter to playback
through the headphones.
@ PHONES (Headphone jack)
This jack is used to plug in the headphones.
@ monitor copy
(Tape monitor/copy switch)
Set this switch to Source for tape deck recording. The signal from the program source selected by the
FUNCTION switch will then be output from the REC terminals for TAPE-1 and TAPE-2.
When using two tape decks to make a recording of one tape on another, set the switch to either tape-
1/1 > 2 or tape 2/2 » 1 copy.
The tape.1/1 » 2 position is used to play the tape deck that is connected to the tape-1 terminal.
The tape- -2/2 » 1 position is used to play the sabe deck that is connected to the tape-2 terminal.
© PHONO SELECTOR
(Cartridge selection/Subsonic filter switch)
This switch is used for the player cartridge type selection function (for MC or MM cartridges), and to
eliminate subsonic speaker vibrations caused by record player motor vibrations or warping in a record.
@ MM: Used when an MM cartridge is used in the player connected to the PHONO cartridge.
@ MC: Used when an MC cartridge is used in the player connected to the PHONO cartridge.
@ SUBSONIC-MC: Used to eliminate subsonic speaker vibrations caused by record player motor
vibrations or warping inthe record, when an MC cartridge is used.
‘@ SUBSONIC-MM: Used to eliminate subsonic speaker vibrations caused by record player motor
, vibrations or warping in the record, when an MM cartridge is used.
@ BASS (Bass contro!)
This is used to regulate the degree of bass in the sound.
When the knob is ‘set to the center ‘position, the frequency characteristic curve is flattened in the
range below 1000 Hz. The bass increases as the knob is moved off center to the right, and decreases
as it is moved to the left.
@ TREBLE (Treble control)
This is used to regulate the degree of treble in the sound.
When the knob is set to the center position, the frequency characteristic curve is flattened in the
range above 1000 Hz. The treble increases as the knob is moved off center to the right, and decreases
as it is moved to the left.
BALANCE (Balance control)
The balance between the amount of sound on the left and on the right is adjusted by using this knob.
When it is set to the center position, the amplifier gain is the same for the left and the right.
lf there seems to be a difference in the left and right channel output voltages for the cartridge, try
moving the knob to the left and the right to. adjust it. |f the volume on the right side is too low, turn
the knob to the right. If the volume on the left side is too low, turn the knob to the left.
Video Input Function
The PMA-500V provides a video input function. The image selection circuitry gives preference to
VIDEO-1 for all settings of the INPUT SELECTOR button, unless VIDEO-2 has been specified.
This function might be used, for example, to watch a TV monitor while playing a compact disc.
In this case it would connect the image input circuitry of the VIDEO-1 terminal.to the image output
' of a video recorder, tape recorder, or video disc recorder. The resultant monitor out signal would be
sent to the TV monitor, for “background video” audio-visual entertainment combining sound and
images. ‘
