M@ input resistance selector (RESISTANCE)
Set to the value which most nearly corresponds to the
specified resistance of the cartridge to be used. (Refer
to the cartridge operation instructions.)
Note that most cartridges can be used at the ‘50 ka"
position. Setting to the high value (100 kn) results in an
over-emphasis of the high range, and setting to the low
value (25 ka) results in a decrease of the high range.

® Tape-monitor selector
TAPE 1:
Set to this position to playback or monitor the sound
from tape deck 1.
SOURCE:
Set to this position to listen to phono discs or radio
broadcasts, or to listen to equipment connected to
the auxiliary-input terminals (‘‘AUX’’) on the rear panel
of this unit.
TAPE 2:
Set to this position to ptayback or monitor the sound
from tape deck 2.
Note:
Refer to page 9 for detailed information concerning
tape monitoring.
@ Recording-mode selector
TAPE 1p 2:
Set to this position for recording from tape deck 1 to tape
deck 2.
SOURCE:
Set to this position for recording phono disc sound or
radio broadcasts to tape deck 1 and/or tape deck 2.
TAPE 2p 1:
Set to this position for recording from tape deck 2 to tape
deck 1.
@® FM muting switch
Set this switch to the ‘‘ON’’ position to eliminate the
characteristic noise between stations when tuning to an
FM broadcast.
In an area where reception is poor because signal
Strength is weak, such as in mountainous regions, the
broadcast signal might also be eliminated (at the ‘‘ON”’
position). If so, set this switch to the ‘‘OFF”’ position for
reception. Between-station noise might be heard at the
“OFF” position, however, so the volume level should be
reduced when tuning to the broadcast.
@ Mode selector
STEREO:
Set to this position to listen in stereo.
MONO:
Set to this position to listen monaurally. The left and right
sounds will be mixed, and the same sounds will be
heard from both speakers. Set to this position to listen
to an FM stereo broadcast which is very noisy.
- @® Balance control
To balance the left and right volume level, set the mode
selector@ to the ‘‘MONO” position, and use this control
to balance the sound so that is seems to be heard from
the position half way between the speakers.
@) Loudness switch
It is usually difficult for human ears to clearly hear low-
range sound when the volume level is low.
When listening at a low volume level, therefore, this
switch can be set to the ‘‘ON”’ position to compensate for
this, making sound more dynamic and powerful.
a ; eee
&) Muting switch
When this switch is set to the ‘‘—20 dB”’ position, the
output fevel will be reduced to 1/10th, making it useful
for temporary reduction of the volume level, without dis-
turbing the setting of the volume contro!, such as when
changing discs, etc. It is also possible, when listening
at a low volume level, to set it to the ‘‘—20 dB” position
and thereby make more delicate adjustments of the vol-
ume fevel than at the ‘‘0dB”’ position.
@® Acoustic control switch
This is the switch used to turn on and off the adjustment
function of the tone controls@,@,@6 and the boost/filter
selectors@.
When this switch is set to the “OFF” position, charac-
teristics are ‘‘flat’’ regardless of the settings of these
controls, and they will not function.
Note:
This switch does not affect the filter function of the boost/
filter selectors@ at either position.
& Boost/filter selectors
These selectors can be used to select the characteristics
of change of the low-sound range and high-sound
range adjusted by using the tone controls@4,@6. These
selectors function only when the acoustic control
switch@ is on.
BOOST:
When
the
‘‘LOW"”
switch
is
set
to
the
“BOOST”
position,
low-range
sound
is
emphasized
(‘‘boosted’’)
in
the
100
HZ
range.
When
the
‘HIGH’
switch
is
set
to
the
“BOOST”
position,
high-range
sound
is
emphasized
in
the
10
kHz
range.
The
amount
of
actual
emphasis
will
differ
depending
upon
the
settings
of
the
bass

tone
controls@,
@6,
but
the
maximum
level
of
the
emphasized
range
will
be
the
same
as
when
the
tone
controls@,@8
are
set
to
their
maximum
position
(+5).
When
listening
to
music
witha
strong
beat,
such
as
rock,
set
both
switches
(““LOW”’
and
“‘HIGH")
to
this
position.
OFF:
When the switches are set to this position, the boost
and filter functions are turned off.
FILTER:
When the ‘‘LOW”’ switch is set to the ‘‘FILTER”’ position,
low-range sound of 30 Hz and lower is cut.
When the ‘‘HIGH”’ switch is set to the ‘FILTER’ posi-
tion, high-range sound of 8 kHz and higher is cut.
Set the “LOW” switch to this position to eliminate low-
range
noises
such
as
motor
rumble,
and
set
the
‘‘HIGH”’
Switch to this position to eliminate high-range noises
such as tape “‘hiss’’ noise, etc.
