(_D POWER SWTTCH
Power is supplied to the model SR-9 when this switch
is depressed. The power indicator comes on as soon as
the power is supplied.
e PowER tNDtcAToR
This comes on as soon as the SR-9's power switch is
set to ON to indicate that power is being supplied.

This displays the reverberation effect graphically. When
the reverberation time is increased (the reverb time
control is rotated clockwise), the winking intervals of

reduced (the reverb time control is rotated counter-
clockwise), these intervals are cut short. Also, the
lighting area increases in proportion to the size of the
reverberation components. This area is increased as
the depth control is rotated clockwise. The reverb
time and depth controls are set to the preferred posi-
tion as you check out the reverberation, but if the re-
verberation indicator's circle of light remains on the
display, it means that the reverberation componenrs
are excessive (too much of an echo) Use this as a
base for adjustments.

Depress this switch when recording a program source
whose signals feature a reverberation effect onto a tape
in a deck connected to the mode SR-9,s TApE jacks.

Depress this switch to cut off the reverberation effect.
This will allow signals without a reverberating sound to
be made available from both the SR-g,s OUTpUT jacks
and the TAPE PLAY jacks.
N O T E :
The reverberation
on switch, the reverberation
on-recording
switch and the reverberation off switch are all coupled. When
you depress one switch, make sure that all the others are re_
leased. Do not depress more than one switch at a time.

This comes on when the tape monitor switch is de-
pressed.
@ TAPE MONITOR SWTTCH
Depress this switch to monitor the sound on the tape
as it is being recorded or when playing back a tape
using a tape deck connected to the SR-g,s TApE jacks.
(The tape monitor indicator comes on.)
@ R E V E R B T | M E C O N T R O L
This is used to adjust the delay time.
The reverberation effect becomes more pronounced
when this control is rotated clockwise as you listen to
the reproduced sound. Listen to the sound and then set
this control for the optimum effect. Selection can be
made between two types of reverberation with the
model SR-9 by pushing the reverb time control or
