AMPLIFIER OPERATION
Before switching on the power to the amplifier, the strict
observance of the following steps will protect your speaker
systems from damage and prevent possible problems.
(1) Set the VOLUME control knob to “0” (minimum).
(2) Set the TAPE MONITOR switch to SOURCE.
(3) Set the TAPE DUPLICATE switch to center.
(4) Set the BALANCE control knob to center.
(5) Set the MODE selector to STEREO.
(6) Set the SPEAKERS selector to A, B or A+B position,
depending on the rear terminals to which your speaker
system is connected.
Push the POWER switch to ON only after completing the steps
described above.
LISTENING TO RADIO BROADCASTS
First, make sure that the tuner output cables are connected to
the TUNER INPUT jacks on the rear panel.
1) Set the FUNCTION selector to TUNER.
2) Turn the power on and tune in an AM or FM station by
turning the tuning knob on your tuner.
3) Adjust VOLUME, BASS and TREBLE controls for the
most pleasing sound.
NOTE:
Refer to “OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS” supplied with your
tuner.
LISTENING TO RECORDS
First, make sure that the turntable output cables (with
magnetic cartridge) are connected to the PHONO INPUT jacks
on the rear panel. If the turntable has a ground wire, connect
it to the GND terminal below the PHONO INPUT jacks.
1) Set the FUNCTION selector to PHONO.
2) Turn the power on and play a record on our turntable.
3) Adjust VOLUME, BASS and TREBLE controls for the
most pleasing sound.
NOTE:
Refer to “OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS” supplied with your
turntable.
CAUTION:
(1) Set the VOLUME control knob to “0” (minimum)
before placing the tone arm on the record.
(2) Howling may occur while a record is being played when
the sound volume is increased. This is caused by feedback
of sound between the turntable and the speaker systems
and should not be mistaken for a problem with the
amplifier. To correct, place the speaker systems as far
away from the system turntable as practical. It is also
advised that the speaker systems be placed on rigid
individual supports.
LISTENING THROUGH HEADPHONES
Set the VOLUME control knob to “0” (minimum) and then
plug the headphones into the jack marked FHONES.
Adjust VOLUME, BASS and TREBLE controls the same way
as when listening through the speaker systems.
Set the SPEAKERS selector to OFF when speaker systems are
connected to the SPEAKERS terminals, and sound will be
heard through the headphones only.
NOTE:
The VOLUME control knob should be set to “0” (minimum)
before connecting or disconnecting the headphones. This
precaution is necessary to protect the headphones from
damage.
REPRODUCING SOUND FROM COMPONENT
CONNECTED TO AUX TERMINALS
First, make sure that the component output cables are con-
nected to the AUX INPUT jacks on the rear panel.
1) Set the FUNCTION selector to AUX.
2) Turn the power on and also tum on the component unit
connected to the AUX INPUT jacks.
3) Adjust VOLUME, BASS and TREBLE controls for the
most pleasing sound.
