This window is composed of 7 indicators and 2 power me-
ters.
6. Remote sensor (REMOTE)
Receives signals from the accessory remote control.
7. Volume control (VOLUME CONTROL)
Adjusts the sound volume. Sound is not generated when
this control is rotated counterclockwise to the end, and
then, the sound volume gradually becomes higher when the
control is rotated clockwise as follows: mute → –87 dB →
–86 dB → ...... → 0 dB in steps of 1 dB.
8. Headphone jack (PHONES)
Insert the headphone plug into this output jack. Even when
the plug is inserted, signals to the speaker output terminal
are not interrupted. Accordingly, to listen to sound with only
use of headphones, set the speaker selector to "OFF".
INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER L-509X
9. Separate switch (SEPARATE)
Separates the pre-amplifier and main-amplifier each other.
off (separate indicator off):
Uses this unit as a normal integrated amplifier.
on (separate indicator on):
Feeds external signals from the MAIN IN terminal on
the rear panel to the main-amplifier section.
• This switch toggles the separate on and off.
The separate indicator lights up when the separate switch
is on.
When the separate switch is set to on, the volume control
of this unit cannot adjust the volume of the speakers con-
nected to this unit. Volume adjustment shall be performed
at the input device side such as a control amplifier con-
nected to the MAIN IN terminal.
Entry of direct output into the MAIN IN terminal from a CD
player or other devices that cannot adjust sound volume
always provides full power and accordingly there is a risk
of speaker damage.
For such input devices, be sure to use a control amplifier
equipped with the sound volume adjustment function as a
relay, generate sound through the speakers with volume
lowered, and adjust the volume to your favorite level.
When arranging the wiring, be sure to turn off the power
of this unit.
