1. Source Selector:

 Selects the appropriate 

input signal source.               
 

2. Tape Monitor:

 If you have connected a 

tape recorder to the “tape in” on the back 
of the unit, then switching ´Tape’ will 
make it possible to listen to tapes. 
 
If your tape recorder has a monitor 
capability (usually requires a separate 
playback head), you can monitor your 
tape recording as it is being recorded by 
switching the tape button. 
 
The Tape Monitor function can also be 
useful when adding an Equalizer / Room-
correction unit in the signal chain. 
 
A blue lamp right above the tape key 
indicates Tape Monitor activated. 
 
NOTE: When the Tape Monitor is engaged, 
it bypasses the Selector Switch. Regardless 
of witch source the selector is set for, you 
only hear the tape input. 

If the Tape Monitor is accidentally left on, 
none of the inputs on the Source Selector 
will operate. 
        

3. Display:

 The display shows the selected 

source input. 
 A flashing ‘ON’ lamp indicates that the 
amplifier is under its 30 seconds start up 
procedure. 
When the ‘ON’ lamp stops flashing, the 
amplifier sound stages starts operating 
after another 20 seconds. 
 

4.  Power Switch:

 Pressing this key, the 

amplifier will switch cyclically between 
operation and standby mode. Power On 
and Stand By are indicated in the display. 
 

5.  Audio Level:

 To adjust the volume to 

the desired listening level, turn the control 
clockwise to increase the volume. 
 

6.

 Headphone output terminal.
