Operations

Before operation
1. Ensure that the connections are correctly performed.
(Normal playback cannot be achieved with wrong con-
nections of R, L, !, or @)
2. When the power is toggled between on and off or the
input selector is changed over, set the volume control to
the minimum position in advance.
Playback procedure
1. Press the operation switch to turn on the switch after
ensuring that the volume control is set to the minimum
position.
2. Select a source to be reproduced with the input selector.
3. Adjust the sound level with the volume control.
4. Operate the line straight switch, balance control, and
tone control according to the reproduced source.
How to operate line straight switch
The line straight switch is used to play sound with the short-
est signaling route for enhancing the purity of the source
selected with the input selector. When this switch is set to
on, the balance control, tone control, subsonic, monaural
and loudness are bypassed.
How to operate balance control
The balance control allows users to adjust the balance of
sound volume between right and left channels.
When the balance adjustment is not required, the balance
control is set to the center position.
When the line straight switch is set to on, the balance con-
trol does not function.

How to operate the tone control
This unit has the tone control function for the low-frequency
and high-frequency ranges.
The low-frequency range type works in the 300 Hz or lower.
The tone control is set to flat frequency characteristics at
the center position. Rotating the control clockwise makes
the low-frequency range enhanced, and rotating the control
counterclockwise makes the low-frequency range attenu-
ated.
The high-frequency range type works in the 3 kHz or more.
The tone control is set to flat frequency characteristics at
the center position. Rotating the control clockwise makes
the high–frequency range enhanced, and rotating the con-
trol counterclockwise makes the high-frequency range at-
tenuated.
For both the low-frequency and high-frequency ranges, the
right and left channels interlockingly function.
When the line straight switch is set to on, the tone control
does not function.
How to record a source
1. Select a source to be recorded with the input selector.
2. Set the recording switch to on.
3. Play the source to be recorded and set the recorder to
the recording state.
* Operation of the tone control or balance control does not
affect the recording signals.
* The recording switch works when the power is on.
