Operation of the LEVEL MATCH and SPEED con-
trols is explained on page 13 under the Compandor
System description.
AUTO-ON SENSITIVITY
The SENSITIVITY control is located at the right of
the C 33 top panel. For normal operation with most
turntables, the control can be left at mid-position.
Some turntables, however, have electronic circuits
that draw current whether they are turned "off" or
not. The C 33 AUTO-ON SENSITIVITY control can be
used to "fine tune" for the smaller difference be-
tween on and "off" currents.
If your turntable does not control the AUTO-ON
feature of the C 33 correctly, use one of the follow-
ing procedures:
1. Switch on the turntable. If the C 33 does not go on,
or goes on but does not stay on, rotate the AUTO-
ON SENSITIVITY control clockwise towards MAX
until the C 33 goes on and stays on. Then check
for proper operation.
2. Switch off the turntable. If the C 33 does not go
off, rotate the AUTO-ON SENSITIVITY control
counterclockwise towards MIN until it does go
off. Check for proper operation.
If this doesn't correct the problem, your turntable
probably has electronic circuits that draw the same
or nearly the same current whether on or off. AUTO-
ON control is not possible when using this turntable.
The green AC outlet can still be used but the AUTO/
MANUAL switch must be set in the MANUAL posi-
tion. The red POWER pushbutton must be used in-
stead.
In the event you are using two record players, ad-
just the SENSITIVITY control as described above
with both turntables connected to the C 33 green
outlets. Start with both turntables switched off, and
then one at a time switched on.
MONITOR AMPLIFIER
HEADPHONES
The built-in Monitor Amplifier can drive head-
phones, loudspeakers, or provide a low impedance
line output. The input to the Monitor Amplifier is se-
lected by the INPUT switch located near the center
of the C 33 top panel. This switch selects the LISTEN
program, RECORD program, or separate EXTERNAL
input. For normal listening use the LISTEN position.
The Monitor Amplifier LEFT and RIGHT GAIN con-
trols are located to the left of the INPUT switch.
When the switch is in the LISTEN position, the LEFT
and RIGHT GAIN controls regulate the monitor vol-
ume along with the main front panel VOLUME con-
trol. When the INPUT switch is in the RECORD or EX-
TERNAL position, only the LEFT and RIGHT GAIN
controls regulate the monitor volume.
The monitor amplifier can be used with any low
impedance dynamic headphones. High impedance
headphones will work but at a reduced listening
level.
