Switch
(MONITOR)
The
input
function
selector
(phono,
AUX,
etc.)
is
separated
from
the
volume
and
tone
contro]
section.
If
a
tape

is
not
connected,
and
this
switch
is
moved
from
NORMAL
to
either
of
the
tape
inputs,
no
sound
will
be
heard.
In
case
a
3-head
tape
recorder
is
used,
simultaneous
playback
monitoring
is
possible
while
recording.
In
this
case,
the
amplifier
receives
the
playback
signals
either
from
the
Tape
Monitor
terminals
(32,
34),
the
Tape
Connector
(23)
or
the
tape
reproduction
jack
(17),
while
at
the
same
time
feeding
the
recording
signals
to
the
Recording
Output
terminals
(31,
33),
the
Tape
Connector
(23),
or
DECK-

recording
jack
(18).
In
case
a
matrix
4-CH
decoder
is
connect-
ed
to
the
DECK-2
Monitor
(34)
and
Recording
Output
terminals
(33),
this
lever

must
be
set
at
the

Dubbing
Switch
(DUBBING)
Tape
dubbing
(reprinting)
is
possible
with
this
switch.
When
the
leveris
set
at
the
“1
to
2”
position,
the
playback
sound
of
the
DECK-1
terminals
can
be
printed
on
DECK-2,
and
vice
versa
when
set
at
the
2
to
1°”
position.
While
in
the
dubbing
process,
it
is
possible
to
monitor
with
the
Tape
Monitor
Switch
(12).
Except
when
reprinting
a
tape,
it
is
recommended
that
this
switch
be
set
at
the
centre,
SOURCE
position.

@ DECK-1 Reproduction Jack (IN)
This
jack
has
a
function
equivalent
to
that
of
the
Deck-1
Moni-
tor
terminals
(32)
on
the
rear
panel.
Plug
in
the
line
output
of
the
tape
recorder,
and
you
can
monitor
by
setting
the
Monitor
Switch
(12)
at
the
““deck-1"
position.
@ DECK-1 Recording Jack (OUT)
This jack hes a function equivalent to that of the Deck-1 Re-
cording Output terminals (31). Recording output is always a-
vailable from this jack in so far as an input is given to the
amplifier. If the Dubbing Switch (13) is set at the ‘2 to 1” posi-
tion, this jack will be connected with the Deck-2 Monitor termi-
nals, and recording output will be available from the Deck-2
terminals (33).
© Attenuator (ATTENUATE)
Adjustment
of
this
control
makes
it
possible
to
pre-set
efficiency
of
the
Volume
contro!
(20)
in
the
range
of
0
dB
to
—18
dB
(about
).
Also,
since
this
attenuator
is
placed
at
the
entrance
of
the
main
amplifier
section,
it
can
be
used
as
an
input
level
setter
for
independent
use
of
the
main
amplifier
section.
@ Volume Control (VOLUME)
A clockwise turn of this control increases volume, while a
counter-clockwise turn decreases and finally cuts out volume.
@ Balance Control (BALANCE)
The volume balance on right and left channels can be adjusted
with this control. Turn it clockwise, and the volume of the left
channel will decrease; counter-clockwise causes a dectease of
the right channel. When the volume of both channels is balanced,
monaural reproduction sound comes from the centre of both
right and left speakers. This point is usually obtained by setting
the click-stopper at its centre point.
