When wiring or connection is performed, be sure to turn off 
this switch.

2.  Input selector  
 

 (LINE-1, LINE-2, LINE-3, LINE-4, BAL-1, 
BAL-2, PHONO, MONITOR)

Selects an input terminal from among the unbalanced in-
put terminals on the rear panel (LINE-1, LINE-2, LINE-3,  
LINE-4, PHONO, and MONITOR) or the balanced input ter-
minals (BAL LINE-1 and BAL LINE-2).

3.  Monaural switch (MONO)

Mixes the signals from right and left channels. The monaural 
indicator lights up when this switch is pressed. 
Pressing this button again to turn off the monaural switch 
provides regular stereophonic reproduction.
*  When the line straight switch is set to on, this switch does 

not function.

4.  Separate switch (SEPARATE)

Separates the pre-amplifier and main-amplifier section each 
other.
off (separate indicator off): 

 

Uses this unit as a normal integrated amplifier.

on (separate indicator on): 

 

 Feeds external signals from the MAIN IN terminal on 
the rear panel to the main-amplifier section.

•  Holding down this switch for 1 second toggles the sepa-

rate switch on and off. 
The separate indicator lights up when the separate switch 
is on.
