CONNECTING LOUDSPEAKERS
The left and right loudspeakers are connected to the rear
panel sockets and
respectively of the
Cyrus Straight
Line
using the plugs provided. First, fit the plugs to the
loudspeaker cables. Carefully note that the cable carries
marking or colours for polarity, (+ and -) may also be
marked for direction with an arrow. For correct operation,
it is essential that the (+ and - ) terminals of the
Cyrus
Straight Line
are connected to the corresponding (+ and -)
terminals of the loudspeakers. When fitting the plugs to
the cables be sure to line up (+ and -) at each end. The
loudspeaker plugs can now be fitted into the speaker
sockets of the
Cyrus Straight Line
.
POWER CONTROL
The mains power switch
is located on the rear panel of
the
Cyrus Straight Line
(refer to the rear panel drawing on
page 4). This switch should be left on for normal
operation, except when left unattended for a long period.
In this case the mains power should then be switched off
or the product disconnected from the AC supply.
Refer now to the front panel drawing on page 7.
When the
Cyrus Straight Line
is in regular use and the
power is permanently on, the STANDBY key
should
be used
for power control. The Standby light
will show red
when the
Cyrus Straight Line
is off and green when
operating.
SELECTING AN INPUT FOR LISTENING
Use the Input Selector switch
to select the desired
source input. Remember to turn the volume control
to
minimum when switching between sources.
RECORD AND PLAYBACK
If the tape recorder connections are made according to the
previous instruction in this manual, then you will be able
to listen to a recording by selecting the TAPE MONITOR

.
To cancel this, press the TP switch again. If your tape

hearing pattern in a stable and consistent manner.
