2) Connect the headphones to the headphones JACK connector (31) or (L). Use headphones with
impedance between 32 and 600Ω.
ATTENTION!
Always turn headphones volume to “0” (fully counter clockwise) BEFORE
putting the headphones on your or somebody else her/his ears! Then slowly
raise the volume by turning the volume knob in clockwise direction.
3) Choose with the input select switch (1) the right audio-source.
4) Switch the PFL button (8) in position ON to listen at the desired source. Turn the phones select
button (29) completely to the left and turn the phones volume potentiometer (30) to the desired
position to get the stereo signal on the headphones and the two left VU-meters. The PFL circuit
works as a sum-system, there is a possibility to listen to more sources at the same time. All
these operations have no influence on the output signal! Adjust with the level control (2) the
input signal until the red indicators of the level meters (13) will light up occasionally. Adjust if
necessary the quality of the sound with the equalizer (3).
