controls as follows:
1. Set the TONE switch to OFF.
2. Set the SUBSONIC switch to OFF.
. Set the MUTING switch to OFF.
. Set the VOLUME control to ~.
. Set the TAPE MONITOR
switch to SOURCE.
. Set the DUPLICATE switch to OFF.

PLAYING RECORDS
1. Set the FUNCTION
switch to PHONO
1 when
your
turntable
is connected
to the PHONO
1
jacks. Set to PHONO
2 when the turntable is
connected to the PHONO 2 jacks.
2.@ Set the PHONO MM/MC switch to MM (upper
position) when using a moving magnet (MM)
cartridge. Then set the CARTRIDGE
LOAD
controls
in accordance
with the cartridge's
specified load resistance and load capacitance.
(For further details, refer to ""LOAD RESIST-
ANCE
AND
LOAD
CAPACITANCE"
on
page 12).
e Set
the
PHONO
MM/MC
switch
to
MC
(bottom position) when using a moving coil
(MC) cartridge. You will not be able to vary
the load resistance and load capacitance even
if you
rotate the CARTRIDGE
LOAD
con-
trols.
3. Operate the turntable to play the record.
4, Adjust the volume with the VOLUME control.
5. To adjust the tone, first set the TONE switch to
ON, and then adjust the BASS
and TREBLE
controls for the preferred bass and treble levels.
On
SD of
Precautions when playing records.
e Lower the stylus gently onto the surface of the
record.
It is a good idea to set the MUTING
-—20dB
switch to the NORMAL
position or to
turn the volume down when lowering the stylus
.
onto the record.
|
.
e Set the SUBSONIC
switch to 6dB/oct or 12dB/
oct when
there is a great deal of noise in the
low-frequency region or when the bass speaker's
diaphragm
moves even though no sound can be
heard during a performance.
10
e Do
not cause
the turntable to vibrate while a
record is being played since this will cause the
stylus to jump and scratch the record.
Do not
turn off the power
if the stylus is still tracing
grooves on the record.
LISTENING TO THE BROADCAST
1. Set the FUNCTION switch to TUNER.
2. Operate
the tuner
and tune
in to the desired
station.
3. Adjust the volume
with the VOLUME
control.
4. To adjust the tone, first set the TONE switch to
ON
and
then
adjust the BASS
and
TREBLE
controls for the preferred bass and treble levels.
USING THE AUX JACKS
1. Set the FUNCTION switch to AUX.
2. Operate the audio component
which you have
connected to the AUX jacks.
8. Adjust the volume
with the VOLUME
control.
4. To adjust the tone, first set the TONE switch to
ON and then adjust the BASS and TREBLE con-
trols for the preferred bass and treble levels.

Protection circuitry
e No
sound
will be heard from the speakers
for about 10 seconds after the power has
been switched on. This is due to the built-in
muting circuit which eliminates unpleasant
noise generated when the power is switched
on,
and
the _ relay-combined
protection
circuits
which
prevent
the
speakers
from
being damaged
when
DC. components enter
the output.
@ When the sound from the speakers suddenly
stops
during
a performance,
it may
mean
that the speaker jacks have been shorted or
that there is an overload (if you are using
speakers
with
an
impedance
of under
4
ohms). In such cases, the high-speed overload
detecting
protection
circuitry will be actu-
ated at a moment's notice and the output-
stage
transistors
will
be
protected
from
possible
damage.
The
protection
circuitry
resets
itself
automatically,
so that normal
operation is resumed
as soon as the fault is
corrected.
