RECORDING A TAPE
If you connect a tape deck to the receiver as
described in "Connecting Signal Sources," you
can record from one of the other signal sources.
Press AM, FM, PHONO, TV/AUX, Or CD/AUX to
select the signal source you want to record
from. Then, begin recording.
To ensure that the tape deck is receiving the
signal, press tape mon so that the tape mon
indicator is on. If your tape deck has a tape
monitoring function, you can hear the actual
recording as it is made.
If you want to listen directly to the signal source
as you record, press TAPE mon so that the
TAPE MON indicator is off.
USING HEADPHONES
Warnings:
• To prevent possible ear injury and hearing
loss, turn VOLUME to 0 before you put on the
headphones and before you change the sig¬
nal source. After you put on the headphones
or change the signal source, adjust volume
to a comfortable listening level.
• Do not listen to your receiver at extremely
high volume levels, especially when listening
through headphones. Extended high-volume
listening can cause permanent hearing loss.
To listen through headphones, insert the V4-inch
plug of a pair of low-impedance stereo head¬
phones into the receiver's PHONES jack.
For private listening, turn off the speakers by
pressing both speakers buttons to release
them.
OUTPUT POWER METER
The output power meter shows the relative
amount of power being drawn from the re¬
ceiver's amplifier.
BUILT-IN PROTECTION CIRCUITS
#
The receiver has two special protection circuits:
• The thermal overload protection circuit auto¬
matically turns off the receiver's amplifier if it
overheats.
• The overdrive protection circuit automatically
turns off the amplifier if too much power is
being drawn from it.
If a protection circuit turns off the amplifier, the
receiver stops producing sounds and the output
power meter indicators go off. However, the
receiver continues to receive power, so the
other indicators remain on.
If this happens, press power to turn off the
receiver's power. Then, check for proper ventila¬
tion and proper speaker connections, and be
sure the speakers have an impedance of 8 to 16
ohms.
The protection circuits usually reset in only a
few minutes, so you can turn on and use the
receiver again. The circuits seldom take longer
than 30 minutes to reset.
