Names and Functions

Front Panel

1) POWER Switch

 

This is the switch to turn the power on/off.

2) POWER Indicator

 

When the power is turned on, it lights up blue.

 

Right after the power is turned on, it keeps on blinking until the internal circuit is in a

 

stable condition and sounds will not come out during that time.

3) LOW CUT FILTER Changing Switch

 

If records with large warps are played, not only the music signals, but unnecessary

 

ultra-low region signals are inputted into the phono amp and the vibration board of the

 

low regional speakers will greatly shake back and forth and this may damage the

 

speakers or distort the sounds. In this case, by turning this switch on, it can attenuate

 

the ultra-low region signals and lessen the above phenomenon.

4) PLAYBACK CURVE Changing Switch

 

This is the switch that changes the playing equalizer characteristics.

 

The following three types of playing curves are installed. Switch according to the type

 

of record you want it to play.

 

-STEREO : RIAA curve for stereo LP playing

 

-MONO1 : Curve 1 for monaural LP playing (used on a DECCA label and

 

 

        so forth : FFRR)

 

-MONO2 : Curve 2 for monaural LP playing (used on a Columbia label

 

 

        and so forth)
