@) Volume control (LEVEL ATTENUATOR)
Use this to adjust the sound volume.
It is con-
figured
as a 32-contact
attenuator,
and
the
'0'
position
indicates
the
maximum
output
power.
Attenuation
can
be provided
in 1 dB
steps
between
O and
10dB,
in 2dB
steps
between
10 and 22dB,
in 3dB steps between
22 and
46 dB, and in 4dB
steps between
46
and
70d8.
The
attenuator
system guarantees
accurate sound volume adjustments.
@ MUTING switch
This switch
is set to ON when depressed, and
an
attenuation
of 20dB
is provided.
Use this
switch when lowering the sound volume tempo-
rarily
or
when
finely
adjusting
the
level
to
listen to the sound at a low volume.
Note: High-output signals will be applied to the
speakers when the MUTING
switch is set
to
OFF,
and
they
may
be damaged.
Therefore,
always check
the position of
the volume control, or set the control to
its minimum
position
(%) if you are not
sure of the strength of the sound, before
setting the MUTING
switch to OFF.

which
is
connected
to
the
TAPE
2 terminals
(this pro-
cess is called dubbing).
At
position

tics of the listening room or the characteristics
of the cartridge. The bass turnover frequencies
are 150 Hz and 300 Hz, while the treble turn-
over frequencies are 3 kHz and 6 kHz. The con-
trol range is shown in the following figure.
