REMOTE SPEAKER SWITCH
In order to hear all of the speakers connected to your remote system,
the respective FRONT and BACK REMOTE speaker switches must be depressed.
When in the "ON" position the speakers connected to the remote system
are "ON". Should you desire to listen to stereo or 4-CH headphones alone, the
speakers can be turned off at your discretion.
EXT DOLBY NR/TAPE MON 2 SWITCH
When an FM station broadcasts a Dolby encoded program, it may be
decoded by use of an external Dolby processor. If you use an external proces-
sor, the Dolby switch when depressed, will decode an encoded program. If
the Dolby button is depressed without an external processor connected, you
will get zero output from your speaker system.
Dolby IN receptacles may be used as a 2-channel Tape Monitor provided
you are not using the Dolby Function.
TAPE MON 1 SWITCH
If your 4-CH tape recorder has a special monitoring feature, depressing
this switch "IN" will permit you to monitor your tapes a split second after they
are recorded. When not in use this switch must be in the "OUT" position,
otherwise it will defeat the output of the receiver.
This switch and associated rear panel receptacles can also be used as an
additional set of stereo or 4-CH high level inputs.
CONTOUR SWITCH
One of the limitations of human hearing is its tendency to lose sensitivity
to the very low pitched sounds as the program sound level is reduced. It is
this characteristic (known as the Fletcher-Munson effect) which causes one to
play music programs at high listening levels in order to experience the full rich
tone available from fine modern recordings.
The Harman/Kardon CONTOUR switch compensates for this effect, thereby
eliminating high listening levels as a requisite for full enjoyment of reproduced
music. For warm, full-bodied reproduction at low listening levels, throw the
CONTOUR switch to the IN position. At high levels, the CONTOUR switch has
no effect.
FM MUTING SWITCH
The purpose of the muting circuit is to reduce audible noise when tuning
from station to station. Since very weak signals may be muted at the same
time, the front panel FM MUTING switch may be used to defeat the muting
circuit on weak signals.

To reduce interstation noise, push the MUTING switch "ON". To defeat
the circuit, push the switch "OFF".
To adjust muting levels see MUTING ADJUSTMENT CONTROL.
HIGH CUT SWITCH
The HIGH CUT filter has been designed to reduce the high frequency
response of your receiver. This will reduce arinoying record scratch, tape hiss,
FM background noise, etc.
LOW CUT SWITCH
At times, record changers, turntables and even some FM stations produce
an objectionable low frequency signal that is strong enough to be introduced
into the playback system. This is known as rumble and can be cancelled out by
the special low frequency cut off filter network included in this receiver. When-
ever rumble is present depress the LOW CUT switch.
FUNCTION SWITCH
This switch selects the desired program source to be heard through your
music system.
PHONO 1/PHONO 2
Use these positions for all mono, stereo or SQ matrix records.
Any standard stereo record player can play SQ matrix discs without special
modifications. The SQ disc is completely compatible with stereo systems and
can be played on any quality record changer or manual turntable using a high
compliance magnetic pickup.
Your existing record player connected to the LEFT and RIGHT, PHONO 1
or PHONO 2 input receptacles will play your mono, stereo and SQ records.
In order to play SQ discs in 4-CH the mode switch should be placed in either
the SQ matrix 1 or SQ matrix 2 positions.
STEREO FM
This is the normal listening position for all monophonic or stereophonic
FM broadcasts. In this position the stereo indicator light and automatic switch-
ing circuit built ino your receiver are operative. For further details refer to
paragraph on "SELECTING MONOPHONIC OR FM STEREO BROADCAST".
Should you receive a weak stereo signal whose quality has been degraded
by noise or poor signal conditions, and you wish to listen to this stereo broad-
cast monophonically, switch to the FM position.
FM
In this position you can listen to stereophonic broadcasts monophonically
while monophonic broadcasts will appear unchanged.
