Adjusting the
Top Panel Controls
PHASE — T h e PHASE is a two-position switch
that reverses the phase in the left channel. Im-
properly phased program sources can be cor-
rected with this switch.
1. Set the MODE SELECTOR switch to MONO.
2. Stand about 10 feet in front of and mid-way
between your loudspeakers. The sound
should appear to be directly in front of you.
If the sound is not directly in front of you
with the PHASE switch in the 0° reverse the
leads on one loudspeaker. When the sound
comes from the mid-point between the
speakers they are in PHASE.
CENTER CHANNEL LEVEL — Left and right
channels are added to make a center channel pro-
gram source. The program can be fed to a third
amplifier for a center channel speaker or for mono-
phonic remote speakers. The CENTER CHANNEL
LEVEL control adjusts the volume on CTR CHAN-
NEL output jack only. Adjustment is from —6 dB to
+6 dB with respect to the MAIN output. Clockwise
rotation increases the loudness.
