@ TAPE MONITOR SELECTOR (TAPE MONITOR)
This selector is used when listening to a tape or monitoring
the sound during recording. The tape monitor indicator
lights up in red corresponding to the selector position.
tape 1 : Select this position to play a tape or to monitor the
sound during recording on the tape deck
connected to the TAPE 1 jacks.
source : Select this position to listen to a program source
other than a tape.
tape 2 : Select this position to play a tape or to monitor the
sound during recording on the tape deck
connected to the TAPE 2 jacks.
NOTE: The TAPE 1 and/or TAPE 2 jacks on the rear panel
can also be used to record and playback audio signals with
video cassette recorder(s).
The VIDEO/AUX jacks can be used to play audio signals
from a video disc player or video cassette recorder.
@ TAPE OUT SELECTOR (TAPE OUT)
This selector is used for recording from another input on the
tape deck(s) connected to the TAPE 1 and/or TAPE 2 jacks,
for dubbing between two tape decks or for recording an-
other sound source independent of the FUNCTION selector.
tuner ; In this position, the tuner signal is available at
the TAPE 1 and TAPE 2 outputjacks regardless
of the position of the FUNCTION selector. This
permits recording the tuner signal on the tape
deck(s) connected to TAPE 1 and/or TAPE 2
jacks while using the preamplifier and power
amplifier sections in another mode (listening
to phono, video, 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 tape decks connected
to the TAPE 1 and TAPE 2 jacks.
off : Select this position to prevent the degradation
of sound quality when recording function is
not operated.
copy-1to2 : Select this position to duplicate the tape in the
deck connected to the TAPE 1 jacks onto the
tape in the deck connected to the TAPE 2 jacks.
copy-2to1 : Select this position to duplicate the tape in the
deck connected to the TAPE 2 jacks onto the
tape in the deck connected to the TAPE 1 jacks.
@® FUNCTION SELECTOR (FUNCTION)
This selector is used to select a program source other than a
tape.
phono 1 : Select this position to listen to a disc played on
the turntable connected to the PHONO 1 (MM)
jacks.
phono 2 : Select this position to listen to a disc played on
the turntable connected to the PHONO 2
(MM) /(MC) jacks.

CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS
@ 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 aminimum level before turning
the power on or changing the sound source to protect the
speakers from being damaged by asudden high level sound.
@® CARTRIDGE SELECTOR (phono 2 cartridge)
This switch selects the gain and input impedance of the
phono 2 input circuitry to mach the type of phono cartridge
used in the turntable connected to the PHONO 2
(MM)/(MC) jacks. Set this switch to the “MM” position when
an MM (Moving Magnet) cartridge is used and to the “MC”
position for an MC (Moving Coil) cartridge.
@ PRE-OUT/MAIN-IN SWITCH (pre-out main-in)
Usually this switch is kept in the “integrated” position. By
depressing this switch to the “separate” position, the
preamplifier and power amplifier sections are separated
from each other for their independent function. To use the
preamplifier section independently, connect the input jacks
of the other power amplifier to the PRE-OUT jacks on the rear
panel. To use the power amplifier section independently,
connect the output jacks of the other preamplifier to the
MAIN-IN jacks on the rear panel.
@ BASS CONTOUR SWITCH (bass contour)
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 filter 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.
@ MUTE SWITCH (mute)
This switch is used to attenuate the signal level by —20dB.
Press this switch to reduce the reproduced sound
temporarily for answering a phone call, tuning to another
station, cuing tape and other purposes. When this switch is
pressed, it illuminates in green, indicating the operation.
CAUTION: Carefully release the MUTE switch from the ON
position so as to prevent sudden booming sound from
speakers.
@ CAPACITANCE TRIM SELECTOR (CAP. TRIM)
This selector is used to select the optimum load capacitance
for the MM cartridge used tn the turntable connected to the
PHONO 1 (MM) or PHONO 2 (MM)/(MC) jacks.
