Inputs
Single ended operation:

Outputs
REC:
Tape outputs are used for recording.
The source you listen to will be monitored through this output.
The record function is not influenced by the volume control setting, but will be shut off by the
MUTE function.
Never use shorting plugs in outputs.
PRE OUT:
The pre out is dependent by the volume control setting, and MUTE function.
These outputs (balanced and single ended) can be used to control an additional power amplifier.
If more than one amplifier is used, and these amplifiers are DC coupled on the input side, they will
influence on each other when the amplifiers are switched on/off.
To avoid any problem, these amplifiers must be turned on/off simultaneously.
Never use shorting plugs on the outputs.

Use this switch to accommodate the signal source to the amplifier.

SPEAKER OUTPUT:

Never short the positive output to ground or chassis.
Switch the amplifier off when connecting the speakers.
