Selecting the Input Source
Select signals from TAPE, TUNER, CD, AUX or PHONO jacks
using the push button switches on the front panel.
Adjusting Volume and Tone
Adjust the various tone controls, mic input level (if used)
and master volume to suit your taste or performance
requirements.
Adjusting the Balance
The balance control positions the audio program material
in your listening environment by balancing the relative
volume of left and right channels. This may be highly useful
in a mobile performance system where environmental
acoustics vary widely.
Filtering the audio program
The Low Frequency Filter has been designed to assist in the
elimination of low frequency noise such as turntable rumble.
Engage this filter by pressing the button marked LOW FILTER.
The High Frequency Filter removes high frequency noise
from the audio stream, such as that caused by record
scratches. This filter is activated by pressing the HIGH
FILTER button.
Muting the audio
When you need to lower the volume level temporarily, such
as when changing records or tapes, you may wish to take
advantage of the PYP-1’s muting function. This function
reduces the audio output level by 20 dB when the MUTE
button is depressed. Pressing again returns the audio to the
full level set by the MASTER VOLUME control.

Grounding the preamplifier
Grounding your turntable to an earth ground is a good idea
in order to reduce or eliminate hum or static that the phono
system may introduce to the audio signal path. Securely
fasten a wire from the ground screw on the rear panel to
the ground lead from your turnable.
