DESIGNATIONS AND FUNCTIONS OF PANEL CONTROLS

q
POWER (Power Switch)
When the POWER switch is turned ON (
MUTE/STANDBY LED
When the power switch is turned ON, power is supplied to the
unit. It takes a few seconds after the power is turned on for the
unit to warm up. This is due to the built-in muting circuit that
eliminates noise during the on/off operation.
w
PHONES (Headphone Jack)
This jack is used to plug in the headphones.
e
SPEAKERS (Speaker Selection Switch)
The PMA-495R can be connected to two speaker systems:
speaker system A and speaker system B.
When A is pressed, the speaker system connected to speaker
output terminals A operates.
When B is pressed, the speaker system connected to speaker
output terminals B operates.
When A and B are pressed on together, both speaker systems
operate simultaneously. When the A and B switches are both
off (in the out position), there is no output from the speaker
terminals. This setting is used to listen to playback through the
headphones.
r
SOURCE DIRECT (Source Direct Switch)
The controls (BALANCE, VARIABLE LOUDNESS, and TONE)
can be used when this switch is in the OFF (
When set to the ON (
passed and the signals are input directly to the volume control
circuit, providing high quality sound.
t
VOLUME (Volume Control)
This knob controls the overall volume level.
Turn the knob to the right ( , ) to raise the volume and to the
left ( . ) to lower it.
y
BALANCE (Balance Control)
This knob is used to adjust the balance between the left and
right channels. When it is set to the center position, the
amplitude of the amplifier is equal on both sides. If there is a
difference in the left and right channel output voltages for a
cartridge, move the knob to the left and the right to adjust it. If
the volume on the right side is too low, turn the knob to the
right ( , ). If the volume on the left side is too low, turn the
knob to the left ( . ). This will achieve an even balance on the
left and right sides.
u
BASS (Bass Control)
This knob is used to control the bass quality of the sound.
When the knob is set at the center position, the frequency
characteristics are flattened in the range below 1000 Hz. The
bass is emphasized as the knob is moved off center to the right
( , ), and reduced as it is moved to the left ( . ).
i
TREBLE (Treble Control)
This knob is used to control the treble quality of the sound.
When the knob is set at the center position, the frequency
characteristics are flattened in the range above 1000 Hz. The
treble is emphasized as the knob is moved off center to the
right ( , ), and reduced as it is moved to the left ( . ).

), the At low volumes, the human ear is less sensitive to low (BASS)
and high (TREBLE) frequencies. Use this control to compensate
for this deficiency when listening at low volume levels. Turn
this control counter-clockwise until a natural balance of bass
and treble sound has been restored.
!0
REMOTE SENSOR (Remote Control Sensor)
This sensor receives the infra-red light transmitted from the
wireless remote control unit.
For remote control, point the wireless remote control unit
towards the sensor.

MUTE/STANDBY LED
This LED flashes while the muting circuit is activated when the
power is turned on and when muting is turned on from the
remote control unit, and remains lit (without flashing) while the
power is on. In addition, this LED flashes rapidly when the
protection circuit is activated.

TAPE SELECTOR (Tape Selector/Monitor Buttons)
• COPY/TAPE-1/CD-R:
Press this button once, COPY/TAPE-1/CD-R indicator will
light up and then you can play tape source on TAPE-1/CD-R
terminal. In this state you can copy COPY/TAPE-1/CD-R
source to TAPE-2/MD terminal.
Press again the button currently accessed, to play sources
selected by input selector
• TAPE-2/MD:
Press this button once, TAPE-2/MD indicator will light up and
then you can play tape or video source of TAPE-2/MD
terminal.
Press again the button currently accessed, to play sources
selected by input selector

INPUT SELECTOR (Input Select Switch)
Use these to select the program source.
When the switch for the desired program source is selected, its
LED lights. One program source only can be selected at a time,
as follows:
• PHONO:
Use this position when using the record player connected to
the PHONO jacks. The record player should have an "MM"
cartridge.
• CD:
Use this position when using the CD player, etc., connected
to the CD jacks.
• TUNER:
Use this position when using the tuner, etc., connected to
the TUNER jacks.
• AUX:
Use this position when using the component connected to
the AUX jacks.
