Harman Kardon 100+ - Mode Switch

DISCRETE FM/ AUX
In this position, the addition of an accessory 4-CH decoder will permit the
reception of discrete FM.
This position, when not being used for discrete FM, may be used as an
additional 4-CH/ AUX position. As soon as an FM broadcast system has been
selected, Harman/Kardon will be in the position of supplying an appropriate
decoder.
DISCRETE PHONO/AUX
This selects the four discrete phono/aux receptacles on the rear panel for
playback through your system (tape recorder, cartridge player, discrete phono
system) with appropriate decoder.
This quadriphonic system is different than the SQ matrix design and re-
quires a special decoder between your phonograph and Harman/Kardon 1 00 +
receiver. Your phonograph should employ a high compliance, low tip-mass
phono cartridge capable of extending in frequency response to beyond 45,000
Hertz to play back the CD-4 disc. The special decoder should be connected to
the LEFT and RIGHT FRONT/BACK DISCRETE PHONO/AUX receptacles located
on the rear panel of the 1 00 +. (Refer to "Connecting a Stereo Record Player
with 1 00 + Decoder").
Harman/Kardon intends to manufacture a decoder for use with discrete
systems. For additional information on this system and the availability of the
Harman/Kardon discrete phono decoder, write to our Customer Service
Department.
AM
This selects the AM section of your receiver.
BASS & TREBLE CONTROLS
These controls are employed to set the tonal balance of your stereo or
4-CH system. The Bass control adjusts the low frequencies, either strengthening
or diminishing the intensity of these sounds. The Treble control adjusts the
higher frequencies in the same manner - either strengthening or diminishing
the sound.
In most instances these controls will be set to the "flat" or center position.
If bass or treble adjustment is necessary, do not rotate these controls to their
maximum settings. This may introduce distortion especially if your speakers
cannot handle the power of the boosted sound. These controls should be used
sparingly and with the knowledge that live music is neither excessively sharp
or boomy.
7
You may adjust both the BASS and TREBLE for front and back pairs of
speakers simultaneously or individually. The inner knobs adjust the front speakers
and the outer knobs, the back speakers. In order to adjust both pairs, turn
both inner and outer knob. In order to adjust front or back only, hold one knob
while adjusting the other.
MODE SWITCH
This switch allows you to select the proper mode of operation for the
various sources available.
MONO
In this position, all program sources will be reproduced in the monophonic
mode.
If an external monophonic source (one channel) is used it MUST be con-
nected to the appropriate LEFT FRONT input receptacles in order to reproduce
sound in all speakers.
The D mode indicator light will be illuminated indicating a monophonic
mode of operation.
STEREO
In this position, all stereophonic program sources will be reproduced in
the STEREO mode.
All pairs of speakers connected to the FRONT terminals will reproduce
stereo program material. With the STEREO/4-CH REAR PANEL SWITCH in
4-CH position, speakers connected to the BACK terminals will also reproduce
stereo in each pair.
In the STEREO position, the ~ mode indicator light will be illuminated
indicating a stereophonic mode of operation.
SQ MATRIX 1 /2
These positions may be used to reproduce all SQ program material.
In the SQ MATRIX 1 and SQ MATRIX 2 positions the D ~ D mode
indicator lights will be illuminated.
These lights denote the methods used from the source material to the
recording, to reproduction.
The SQ MATRIX 2 position performs the same function as the SQ MATRIX
1 position except that it changes the relationship of separation between the
LEFT and RIGHT and FRONT and BACK speakers.
