PLEASE NOTE: ALWAYS CLOSE THE CD TRAY (1)
WITH THE UNIT SWITCHED ON. PUSHING THE TRAY
CLOSED WITH THE POWER OFF MAY LEAD TO
DAMAGE DURING SUBSEQUENT TRANSPORTATION.
Power from Mains
The Mains ON/OFF switch is located on the side panel. When ON, the
power indicator (1) on the front panel will illuminate.
Amplifier Controls
● Volume control (7)
To protect listeners, always adjust the volume control (7) to
minimum before use - particularly if headphones are being used.
Turn the volume level up once the CD or cassette is playing.
If necessary restart the CD or cassette once the volume level is set.
● Balance Control (8)
The balance control (8) allows fading between the speakers.
Maximum output of both speakers is achieved when the dial is set
to the centre point.
When turned fully left, the right hand speaker cuts out completely
and vice versa - ideal where music is recorded on one track and
voices on the other.
● Treble (9) and Bass (10) Controls
The treble and bass controls allow listeners to adjust the sound
output to suit, enhancing sound quality as required.
NB Recording
The position of the above mentioned amplifier controls will not
affect recordings, regardless of their position.
● Input Volume (14) Control
The input volume control is used for public address work and
controls the volume of microphones or auxiliary equipment.
Public Address (PA) facility
Microphone(s) can be used to amplify your voice. External sources such
as a guitar or keyboard etc, played through the PA amplifier.
● To amplify your voice: Connect microphone(s) to either or both of
the two mono microphone input sockets (3).
● To amplify an external source: Connect line level equipment using a
stereo jack plug to the Aux socket (4).
● Volume: Adjust the Input Volume (14) to suit.
NB The MIC and AUX inputs are passively mixed and may be
connected simultaneously.

1. Make sure the microphone is switched off before switching the
system on.
2. Ensure that the INPUT VOLUME (14) is turned down (anti-
clockwise) to its lowest position.
3. Switch on the microphone.
4. Gradually turn up the INPUT VOLUME (14) until feedback just
starts to occur (you should hear a whine noise) and then turn the
volume down a little until you can no longer hear the feedback.
You might have to experiment with the volume control to
get optimum results.
Note: Some microphones are not designed for Public Address and
further advice may be needed.
Headphone Sockets (11 & 12)
Connecting Mono or Stereo headphones to the MASTER headphone
socket (12) automatically disconnects the internal loudspeakers.
Up to five more pairs of headphones may be connected to Sockets (11).
Note: If the MASTER socket is not used, then the internal loudspeakers
are not disconnected and sound will be reproduced through the
internal loudspeakers and any headphones connected.
SAFETY: For safety you are advised to use only 600 ohm headphones
such as Coomber 1929 headphones.
Prior to using headphones, always turn the volume down,
fit the headphones and then adjust the sound to a
comfortable level.
Tape / CD Selector (5)
The SELECT button (5), should be pushed IN to play CDs or OUT to play
cassette tapes.
External Amplifier Outputs (6)
Use EXT AMP L & R (6) outputs to connect to an external amplifier,
Coomber Booster Speakers or a mixing desk.
The output level is not fixed and may be adjusted by using the
VOLUME and BALANCE controls.
