Harman Kardon PM655 Vxi - Controls and Functions; Phase-Correct Loudness Switch; Subsonic Filter Switch; High Cut Filter Switch

@® PHASE-CORRECT LOUDNESS SWITCH (phase-correct
loudness)
This switch activates a unique low frequency equalization
circuit that provides full, natural sound from small speakers
that are normally deficient in the bass region. It can also be
used in place of conventional loudness compensation.
@ SUBSONIC FILTER SWITCH (subsonic)
When playing the turntable, this fitter switch is used to reduce
subsonic frequencies, which may excessively vibrate the
speaker cones or turntable and cause feedback.
@® HIGH CUT FILTER SWITCH (high cut)
This switch is pressed to cut off high frequency noise such
as disc scratches or tape hiss.
@® MODE SWITCH (mode)
This switch is used to combine the left and right channels and
create a mono signal.
@ VCR/TAPE MONITOR SELECTOR (VCR/TAPE MONI-
TOR)
This selector is used when playing a VCR or tape deck, or
monitoring during recording. The VCR/TAPE MONITOR in-
dicator lights up in red corresponding to the selector position.
1 ‘Select this position to play a video or cassette tape,
or to monitor during recording on the VCR or tape
deck connected to the VCR/TAPE 1 jacks.
source : Select this position to listen to a program source other
than a video or cassette tape.
2 : Select this position to play a video or cassette tape,
or to monitor during recording on the VCR or tape
deck connected to the VCR/TAPE 2 jacks.
@® RECORD OUT SELECTOR (RECORD OUT)
This selector is used for recording from another input on the
VCR(s) or tape deck(s) connected to the VCR/TAPE 1 and/or
VCR/TAPE 2 jacks, for dubbing between two VCRs or tape
decks, or for recording another source independent of the
FUNCTION selector.
tuner :In this position, the tuner signal is available at
the VCR/TAPE 1 and VCR/TAPE 2 OUTPUT
jacks regardless of the position of the FUNC-
TION selector. This permits recording the tuner
signal on the VCR(s) or tape deck(s) connected
to VCR/TAPE 1 and/or VCR/TAPE 2 jacks while
using the preamplifier and power amplifier
sections in another mode (phono, CD or other
sources, for example).
source : Select this position to record the program source
selected by the FUNCTION selector in either
or both of the two VCRs or tape decks connected
to the VCR/TAPE 1 and VCR/TAPE 2 jacks.
off : Select this position to prevent the degradation
of quality when recording function is not op-
erated.
copy-1 to 2 : Select this position to duplicate the video or
cassette tape in the deck connected to the
VCR/TAPE 1 Jacks onto the tape in the deck
connected to the VCR/TAPE 2 jacks.
copy-2 to 1 : Select this position to duplicate the video or
cassette tape in the deck connected to the
VCR/TAPE 2 jacks onto the tape in the deck
connected to the VCR/TAPE 1 jacks.
CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS
@ FUNCTION SELECTOR (FUNCTION)
This selector is used to select a program source other than a
tape.
A/V : Select this position to playback programs from an
audio/video component such as a camcorder, video
player, or TV tuner connected to the A/V jacks.
aux : Select this position to listen to the sound from a
component connected to the AUX jacks.
tuner: Select this position to listen to an FM or AM broadcast
from the stereo tuner connected to the TUNER jacks.
cD : Select this position to listen to the sound from the
compact disc player connected to the CD jacks.
Phono : Select this position to listen to a disc played on the
turntable connected to the PHONO MM or MC jacks.
Each function indicator illuminates in red corresponding to
the setting of the FUNCTION selector.
@ VOLUME CONTROL KNOB (VOLUME)
This knob controls the sound level. Turning clockwise increases
the sound volume, and turning counterclockwise decreases
it. Set this knob at a minimum level before turning the power
on or changing the sound source to protect the speakers from
being damaged by a sudden high level sound.
@ CARTRIDGE SELECTOR (cartridge)
This switch selects the gain and input impedance of the phono
input circuitry to match the type of phono cartridge used. Be
sure to connect the turntable to the appropriate PHONO input
jacks (MM for moving magnet type cartridges and MC for
moving coil type cartridges), and to select that input with this
selector switch.
@ CAPACITANCE TRIM SELECTOR (CAP. TRIM)
This selector is used to select the optimum load capacitance
for the MM cartridge used in the turntable connected to the
PHONO MM jacks.
