Before operation
1. Ensure that the connections are correctly performed.
(Normal playback cannot be achieved with wrong con-
nections of R and L.)
2. When the power is toggled between on and off or the
input selector is changed over, set the volume control to
the minimum position in advance.
Playback procedure
1. Press the power switch after ensuring that the volume
control is set to the minimum position.
2. Select a source to be reproduced with the input selector.
3. Adjust the sound level with the volume control.
4. Operate the tone defeat switch, balance control, or tone
control according to the reproduced source.
How to operate tone defeat
The tone defeat switch is used to play back with the short-
est signaling route to prioritize the purity of the source se-
lected with the input selector. When this switch is set to on,
the tone control circuit is bypassed.
How to operate balance control
The balance control allows users to adjust the balance of
sound volume between right and left channels.
When balance adjustment is not required, the balance con-
trol is set to the center position.
How to operate tone control
This unit has the tone control function for the low frequency
and high frequency ranges.
The low frequency tone control (bass) is a function to adjust
the tone range lower than the selected one with the se-
lector switch (for low frequency). The tone control is set to
flat frequency characteristic at the center position. Rotating
the control clockwise makes the low frequency range en-
hanced, and rotating the control counterclockwise makes
the low frequency range attenuated.
The high frequency tone control (treble) is a function to ad-
just the tone range higher than the selected one with the se-
lector switch (for high frequency). The tone control is set to
flat frequency characteristic at the center position. Rotating
the control clockwise makes the high frequency range en-
hanced, and rotating the control counterclockwise makes
the high frequency range attenuated.
For both the low frequency and high frequency ranges, the
right and left channels interlockingly function.
When the tone defeat switch is set to on, the tone control
does not function.
How to record a source
1. Select a source to be recorded with the input selector.
2. Play the source to be recorded and set the recorder to
the recording state.
Operation of the tone control or balance control does not
affect the recording signals.
