Tape
position: The LED above the Tape/Source
switch
illuminates to show that tape playback has been
selected. While your tape machine is recording, you can
carry out off-tape monitoring, i.e. you can monitor the actual
recording off-tape as you are making it. For more information
on this facility, refer to the instruction manual for your
cassette recorder, DAT, etc.
Input selector switch
When the LED above the input selector rotary switch
illuminates (Tape/Source knob
switched to Source), your
preamplifier will play your selected source:
Disc CD
playback
Aux
Input for an additional line level device.
Tuner
Radio or tuner playback
Phono
Line version: line level input for an external phono
preamplifier.
Phono version: playback of MM or MC (see rear
panel diagram)
You can record the source you are listening to via a recorder
connected to the REC output on the rear of the HP 500.
Please note:
The HP 500 SE is fitted with a switch-on delay. This increases the life of the tubes and
suppresses switch-on noises, as the output of the preamplifier is muted during the switch-on
process. At the end of the 4-minute delay, the output is enabled and the LED above the Tape or
Input Selector switch will illuminate, depending upon the position of the Tape/Source knob.
