@ GRAPHIC EQUALIZER CONTROLS
(GRAPHIC EQUALIZER)
Operating these controls that divide the entire fre-
quency spectrum into 7 sections can induce changes
in the sound quality of the signals in the selected
mode (MIC, TAPE or SOURCE).
These controls have many uses: they can add an
equalization effect to the playback sound of a tape,
to the stereo source (such as record play) or to a
microphone.
The equalization effect is applied to all the selected
modes.
NOTE:
In order to protect the speakers from damage
resulting from power overload, do not excessively in-
crease the stereo amplifier's volume level when
boosting the treble range on this unit.
@ HEADPHONES JACK (PHONES)
Connect the headphones plug to this jack for
monitoring the sound.
@ HEADPHONES OUT SELECTORS
(PHONES OUT)
These switches are used to select the mode (TAPE,
SOURCE, EFFECT) to be monitored:
TAPE: For monitoring the tape playback sound.
SOURCE: For monitoring the program source
sound (FM broadcast or record).
EFFECT: For monitoring the effects produced by
operating the unit's controls.
@ MIC JACKS (1-MIC-2)
Facilities are provided for the connection of two
microphones. Use PIONEER's JK-6 plug conversion
adaptor to connect any plug (mini) except the stan-
dard plug (6.3 mm diameter). Always disconnect the
microphone plug when the microphone is not being
used.
@ TAPE MONITOR SWITCH
(TAPE MONITOR)
Set this switch as follows:
OFF: For mixing play of sound played back on the
tape deck connected to the unit's tape ter-
minals or for creating sound
ON: For playing the sound of the tape deck con-
nected to the unit's tape terminals without
adding any effects
@ TAPE MONITOR INDICATOR
When the TAPE MONITOR switch is pressed, this in-
dicator lights to indicate that the monitoring function
has been made operational.
FRONT PANEL FACILITIES
@® TAPE FADE-IN SWITCH
(TAPE IN <)
The playback sound from the tape deck connected to
the unit can be faded in with this switch. When the
switch is pressed during program source play, the
tape playback sound can be faded in while the
source sound is faded out. When the switch is used
together with the CROSS POINT switch, the degree
- of overlap between the end of the song (example:
source side) and start of the song (example: tape
side) can be varied.
@ FADER CONTROL ON/OFF SWITCH
When this switch is pressed, the controls on the
FADER CONTROL section can be operated (the in-
dicator lights). Press the switch again to release the
function.
The power output is indicated on the level meter
when this switch is in the OFF position.
@ FADE-OUT SWITCH
(FADE OUT > <)
When this switch is pressed during tape playback or
program source play or even when either the tape or
source sound is being played, the sound volume is
gradually reduced to provide a fade-out effect.
@ CROSS POINT SWITCH
This switch sets the degree of overlap between the
end of a song and the start of a song or program dur-
ing fade-in (example: source side) and fade-out (ex-
ample: tape side) operations. Set the switch to the
following positions:
—o; Set here so that the source and tape
sounds are not overlapped but one sound is
first faded out and immediately it has disap-
peared completely, the sound of the other
(tape or source) is faded in.
—20 dB: Set here for a relatively shallow overlap of
the source and tape sounds.
—6 dB: Set here for a relatively deep overlap of the
source and tape sounds.
