Fisher RS-2010 - Tape Monitor Switches

RECEIVER
h which you would normally use them. Follow the instructions
bn of the unit in a very short time.
The frequency bands controlled by the five slide controls
with stepped detents have been chosen to yield the maxi¬
mum possible control action within the audio spectrum.
50 Hz — The 50 Hz control is very useful in enhancing low
bass notes as in organ music, and it also offers the possi¬
bility to make corrections when a deficiency in bass exists,
caused either by a listening room with poor acoustic
properties like bass absorbing curtains, carpets and furni¬
ture, or by a component part of your system like a speaker,
cartridge or record with a poor bass response.
250 Hz — The 250 Hz control will allow you to vary the
upper bass frequencies.
1 kHz — The 1 kHz control is the presence control and can
be used very effectively to emphasize, bring out front, or
de-emphasize vocalists.
4.5 kHz — The 4.5 kHz control will add brilliance and
clarity to brass instruments and violins.
15 kHz — The 15 kHz control can be used to make up for
missing high frequencies absorbed by the environment and
to add a natural crispness to music.
0 EQUAL Switch
In the OFF position, the GRAPHIC EQUALIZER controls
are disconnected and a perfectly flat frequency response
is obtained. Set it to the ON position, to bring GRAPHIC
EQUALIZER controls into operation.
0 TUNING Knob
If you have selected FM or AM in step 2, tune in the
desired station.
0 FM STEREO Indicator
With the FUNCTION switch in the FM position, the indi¬
cator will light when an FM stereo broadcast is received. If
the indicator does not light during the reception of an FM
stereo program, this indicates insufficient signal strength.
Flashing of the indicator is due to spurious interference.
Neither phenomenon indicates any problem with the unit.
0 SIGNAL-STRENGTH Meter
Maximum deflection of the meter pointer indicates that
an AM or FM station is tuned in with optimum accuracy.
0 CENTER-OF-CHANNEL Meter
Turn the tuning knob and observe first the pointer of the
signal-strength meter for maximum deflection to the right.
Then turn the tuning knob very slowly until the pointer
of the CENTER-OF-CHANNEL meter is in the center of
the scale within the gap.
0 SPEAKERS Switch
Set the SPEAKERS switch to A or B or C or A+B positions,
depending on the rear terminals to which your speaker
system is connected. Use the PHONES position when
you intentionally want to turn off your speakers (to
listen privately through headphones, or to silence the music
system momentarily, etc.).
0 POWER Meters
The power meters indicate the approximate music program
power output levels delivered to the speaker systems.
The power meters may also be used for continuous system
monitoring where they provide an instantaneous indication
of left and right channel power distribution and channel
balance.
0 LOUDNESS CONTOUR Switch
Set this button to the ON or OFF position as desired.
Pressing it to the ON position will restore tonal balance and
brilliance at normal and lower volume levels.
0 MONO MODE Switch
The only times you will have to press the MONO MODE
button are:
• When listening to the occasional FM stereo broadcast
that sounds noisy and causes erratic STEREO Light
blinking with the MONO MODE button out.
• When playing a mono auxiliary source or mono record
through the receiver.
0 FM MUTE Switch
Keep this button in the ON position to silence between-
station noise and weak, noisy FM stations. Push this
button in, to the OFF postion only when you wish to listen
to such stations.
0 FM MPX FILTER Switch
Push this button in, to the ON position to reduce noise
interference during FM stereo program reception.
0 SUBSONIC FILTER Switch
Push this button in, to the ON position only when playing
old phonograph records which contain rumble, or when
using a record player which produces low-frequency noise.
At all other times this button should be set to the OFF
position.
0 TAPE MONITOR Switches
Keep these buttons in the SOURCE position so that you
do not accidentally silence any program source chosen with
the FUNCTION switch. Push the TAPE MONITOR 1
button in, to the TAPE position only when you wish to
play back or monitor tapes from a tape recorder or deck
connected to the receiver’s TAPE-1 IN jacks. Push the
TAPE MONITOR 2 button in, to the TAPE position only
when you wish to play back or monitor tapes from a tape
recorder or deck connected to the receiver’s TAPE-2
IN jacks. Push the TAPE MONITOR 1 button in, to the
TAPE position and release the TAPE MONITOR 2 button
out, to the SOURCE position when you wish to duplicate
from a tape recorder or deck (in the playback mode)
connected to the receiver’s TAPE-1 jacks to a tape recorder
or deck (in the recording mode) connected to the receiver’s
TAPE-2 jacks.
0 PHONES Jack
For private listening insert STEREO HEADPHONES.
