Cue/Mute Button - 

Pushing this switch in will attenuate or

mute the phono stage output, depending on the setting of the
internal 2 position dip switch. When this dip switch is set to
“CUE,” the output will be attenuated by approx. 9dB. 

Note: This is not a gain switch, and is not intended to be used for playback. When

this switch is set to “MUTE,” full muting of the phono stage output occurs.

C -

Power Button - 

This switch, when pushed to the “ON”

(IN) position powers up the phono stage. After a delay of
approx. 40 seconds, the phono stage is ready for play-
back. Pressing and releasing the Power Switch while in the
“ON” position will remove AC power from the unit.

Note: Before switching off the phono stage, make sure the line level preamplifier is

muted or off.
