The following section describes the operation of these

controls.

Cartridge loading switches S101 and S201

Resistance:

The 47K load resistor is permanently connected to the cartridge input. If

a different loading value is desired, it can be obtained by switching in

additional resistors, installed on the

VK-P6 PC board. This is accomplished by using the two DIP switches, S101

and S201, that allow multiple choices for resistive and capacitive cartridge

Four positions are reserved for the choice of resistance and four for

capacitance. Out of each group of four, one position is loaded with female

pins and allows the user to install any desired value component (this position

is marked “USER”).

The following resistors can be added in parallel with the 47K load:
