VACUUM TUBE CONTROL AMPLIFIER CL-38uC

7. Monitor switch (MONITOR)
Selects the monitor input terminal (MONITOR) on the rear
panel.
ON: Enables to play back the data from the recorder.
OFF: Enables to play back the data from the source
selected with the input selector.
8. MC impedance switch
(MC IMPEDANCE)
When the cartridge selector (16) is set to MC, the input
impedance can be selected with this MC impedance switch.
Select a position in accordance with the compatible input
impedance specified in the operating instructions of the
cartridge, or select HIGH or LOW in accordance with your
taste.
MC IMPEDANCE switch HIGH LOW
Impedance 100 Ω 30 Ω
9. Input selector
Selects an input device from the devices such as a CD
player, an SACD player, and a tuner connected to each
input terminal.
This selector has five positions consisting of PHONO, LINE-1,
LINE-2, LINE-3, and BAL LINE that correspond to each input
terminal on the rear panel. To select an input source, set the
selector to the position of the input source to be played back.
10. Pilot light
Turns orange when the power is turned on.
11. Volume control (VOLUME)
Adjusts the sound volume.
Sound is not generated when this control is rotated counter-
clockwise to the end. The sound volume gradually becomes
higher as the control is rotated clockwise.
12. Remote sensor (R)
Receives signals from the accessory remote control. Do not
block the front of the photo receiver.
13. Sound volume indicator
Indicates the sound volume level.
This indicator blinks during the muting time immediately
after turning on the power and at activating the mute func-
tion using the main unit or remote control.
14. Balance control (BALANCE)
Adjusts the balance of sound volume between right and left
channels. Rotating the control counterclockwise gradually
cuts the volume of the right channel, rotating the control
clockwise gradually cuts the volume of the left channel. This
knob shall be set to the center position under normal condi-
tions, and rotated to make adjustment if necessary.
15. Mute button (MUTE)
Temporarily mutes the sound. Pressing this button activates
the mute function and blinks the sound volume indicator
resulting in no sound generated. Pressing this button again
to cancel the mute function allows sound to be generated.
16. Cartridge selector switch (CARTRIDGE)
Changes the gain level of the equalizer amplifier (amplifier
circuit required to play an analog record).
MC: Selects the MC (moving coil) type cartridge of
low output voltage.
MM: Selects the MM (moving magnet) type cartridge
of high output voltage.
17. Tone control for treble (TREBLE)
Controls the frequency characteristics of the high-fre-
quency range. When this switch is set in the center posi-
tion, flat frequency characteristics is obtained. Rotating the
knob clockwise makes the high frequency range enhanced,
and rotating the knob counterclockwise makes the high fre-
quency range attenuated.
18. Tone control for bass (BASS)
Controls the frequency characteristics of the low-frequency
range. When this knob is set to the center position, flat fre-
quency characteristic is obtained. Rotating the knob clock-
wise makes the low frequency range enhanced, and rotat-
ing the knob counterclockwise makes the low frequency
range attenuated.
