@ e ns s AN D T R EB L E co N T R oL S
Use these controls to adjust the bass and the treble. lf you
turn the bass control to the right from its center {0) posi-
tion, you will be able to emphasize the sound in the low-
frequency range. Conversely. turning this control to the
left from the center (0) position will attenuate the sound.
You can use the treble control to adjust the sound in the
high-frequency range.
@ B A L AN cE co N T Ro L
Use this control to balance the volume of the left and
right channels. First, however, set the mode/FM muting
switch to MONO/OFF. lf the sound appears to be louder
on the right, it means that the volume of the right channel
is higher. Turn the balance control to the left and adjust.
Conversely, if the sound appears to be louder on the left.
it means that the volume of the left channel is higher.
Therefore, turn the balance control to the right and
adjust. After adjusting, return the mode/FM muting
switch to STEREO/ON.
@ TAPE MONITOR SWITCHES
Depress the switch 1 with a tape deck which is connected
to the TAPE 1 jacks (REC and PLAY) when you want to
monitor the playback or recording of a tape. The tape on
a deck which is connected to the TAPE 2 jacks (REC and
PLAY) can be similarly monitored by depressing the
switch 2.

@ MoDE/FM M UTTNG swr rcH
This switch is a combination of the FM muting switch and
the mode selector switch. When the switch is left unde-
pressed (STE REO/ON) the reproduction is in stereo
mode, while the FM muting function acts to suppress un-
pleasant interstation noise while listening to FM broad-
casting.
When the switch is depressed (MONO/OFF position),
however, reproduction is in mono mode, while the FM
muting function does not act, thus enabling suitable
reception of weak radio stations when tuning in to the FM
broadcasting station.
NOTE:
Recording stereophonically with the mode/FM muting switch in
the MONO/OFF
position may cause deterioration in channel se-
pantion.
@ louolrrEss swtrcH
When listening to a performance with the volume con-
trol turned down, depress this switch and the bass will be
accentuated.
When the volume is low, the human ear finds it harder to
hear the bass than when the volume is high. The loudness
switch is thus designed to compensate for this deficiency.
By depressing this switch, the bass come through much
more strongly and the sound takes on a punch even when
the volume control is turned down.
@ volulrE coNTRoL
Use this control to adjust the output level to the speakers
and headphones. Turn it clockwise to increase the output
level. No sound will be heard if you set it to "0".
