13. Tone control for bass
TONE CONTROL (BASS)
Controls the frequency characteristics of the low-frequency
range.
When this control is set to the center position, flat frequency
characteristic is obtained. Rotating this control clockwise
causes the low-frequency range to be enhanced, and rotat-
ing this control counterclockwise causes the low-frequency
range to be attenuated.
When the line straight switch is set to on, this switch does
not function.
14. Speaker selector (SPEAKERS)
Selects either of 2 speaker systems, A or B, located at the
rear panel.
OFF:
Set to off when using headphones. No sound is
generated from any speakers.
A (center): Selects the A system speaker terminals.
B:
Selects the B system speaker terminals.
A+B: Simultaneously activates both A and B system
speakers. When both speaker terminals are si-
multaneously used, select speakers with imped-
ance of 8 ohms or more because both output
terminals are connected in parallel.
15. Recording switch (REC OUT)
Sends recording signals to the recorder connected to this
unit.
OFF:
Does not send recording signals to the record-
er output terminals on the rear panel.
When not using the recorder, set the recording
switch to OFF.
ON: Selects an input source to be recorded with
the input selector and sends recording signals
to the recorder connected the recorder output
terminals of this unit.
16. Cartridge selection switch
(CARTRIDGE)
Changes the gain level of the equalizer amplifier (amplifier
circuit required to play an analog record).
MC:
Selects the MC (moving coil) type cartridge of
low output voltage.
When “MC” is selected during use of the MM
type cartridge, be aware that the sound volume
becomes higher and unbalanced sound without
high frequencies is generated owing to the im-
pedance.
MM: Selects the MM (moving magnet) type cartridge
of high output voltage.
17. Monitor switch (MONITOR)
Toggles between use and nonuse of the monitor input ter-
minals (MONITOR) on the rear panel.
on (monitor indicator on):
Enables to reproduce the data from the recorder.
off (monitor indicator off):
Enables to reproduce the signals from the source se-
lected with the input selector.
• This switch toggles the monitor on and off.
The monitor indicator lights up when the monitor switch
is on.
