Front Panel Controls and Functions
Power switch (power)
This switch turns on and off the secondary circuit power only.
The unit is in the "standby" condition when this switch is set to the "off" (.= _ II) position.
Regardless of the switch setting, the primary circuit is always "live" as long as the power cord is
connected to an electrical outlet.
I
Left channel Band-level controls (left)
These levers are used to adjust the 7 frequency levels.
When these levers are moved in the "+ dB" direction, peak frequency
characteristics are obtained. When they are moved in the"- dB" direction,
dip frequency characteristics are obtained. These characteristics can be
adjusted a maximum of _+ 12 dB.
When the power switch is set to the "on" position, the tip of these levers will
illuminate.
II
T
Right channel Band-level controls (right)
These levers function the same as the left channel band-level
controls.
• Equalization switch (equalizer)
This switch is used to turn the equalization circuitry on and off.
on (1_ =):
Set to this position for equalizer correction.
off(=_Jt):
Set to this position to turn off equalizer correction. By turning this switch on and off, the
equalizer effect can also be checked. When this switch is in the "off" (.,=-- l) position,
signals will still pass through the unit and be emitted, regardless of whether the power
switch is in the "on" or "off" position.
• Recording mode selector (rec mode)
straight (a _ In'):
Set to this position to record without equalizer correction.
EO (n __ .=,.):
Set to this position to make a tape recording of a radio broadcast or a disc while controlling
the frequeny response.
Note:
The equalization switch must be set to the "on" ( II _.=,.) position and then the input
selector must be set to the "source" (A _ II) position, otherwise the frequency response
cannot be controlled.
This only works for tape decks connected to this unit.
.)
• Reverse mode selector (reverse)
off(=_lt):
This is the normal position for use, when set to this position, the sound level of desired frequencies can be raised
or lowered 12 dB by moving the lever in the (+dB) direction or (-dB) direction.
on (l-- =):
When set to this position, characteristics are obtained which are completely inverted with respect to those
obtained in the "off" position.
This is convenient for purposes such as reducing tape hiss, etc.
• Input selector (input selector)
source (.,,.-- n):
Set to this position to listen to the radio or a compact disc, etc.
tape (11_ =):
Set to this position to listen to a tape deck connected to the back of this unit.
