mMIC jack
This
IS
a microphone jack for monophonic sound only. The SOUND INJECTION switch should be turned
ON when using the microphone
CBTUNING knob
The TUNING knob selects the desired AM or FM station signal. Adjust it for maximum deflection of the
SIGNAL meter as you listen to the sound output from the speakers. For broadcasts also observe the
TUNING meter to achieve accurate reception.
Ci)FM MUTING switch
This switch silences interstation noise on the FM band. but it may also eliminate the signal of a weak and
distant station along with the interstation noise. Therefore. set this switch to OFF (by pressing button re­
lease)
In
the reception of a weak and distant station.
CD FM 25 1-'$ (De-emphasis) switch
