This

switch

permits

proper

of

the

(PHONO-1,

PHONO-2,

AUX-1,

AUX-2).

2)

Treble

Level

Control

,

This

is

level

control

to

vary

the

treble

response.

A

clockwise

turn

of

the

knob

boosts

the

treble

response,

and

counter-

clockwise

decreases

and

cuts

off.

This

knob

has the

click-stopper

of

11

points,

and

yields

flat

frequency

response

at

the

centre

of

rotation

angle.

You

can

choose

a

turn-over

(roll-off)

frequency

at

either

of

2.5iKHz

or

5KHz

with

the

selector

switch

(3).

This

level

control

is

of

independent

structure,

and

permits

separate

control

of

both

left

and

right

channels.

The

left

one

is

for

left

channel

and

the

right

one

for

right

channel.

This

is

convenient

for

adjustment

of

different

levels

between

both

channels

due

to

different

output

of

the

speaker

systems.

by

the

Balance

Control({9).

A

complete

to

either

of

or

counter-clockwise

causes

to

cut

the

of

the

The

can

be

adjusted

so

that

Usually

the

Control

The

ultimate

purpose

of

the

audio

system

is

to

make

the

high

fidelity

reproduction

of

programme

sources.

Due

to

difference

of

conditions

and

circumstances

at

reproduction

from

recording

conditions,

and

the

audio

components

it

is

impossible

to

reproduce

the

same

sound

with

the

original

one,

Also

there

is

no

objective

standard

to

judge

good

sound

from

inferior

one.

The

only

possible

solution

is

for

every

listner

to

create

his

favorite

sound

to

match

his

listening

room

according

to

his

own

taste.

It

is

therefore

very

important

that

the

audio

system

offers

such

facility

to

permit

flexible

controls

for

creation

of

the

best

sound.

This

amplifier

is

equipped

with

the

the

Operation

of

will

be

attenuated

18dB

(about

1/8).

Useful

when

Also

this

can

be

used

as

a

momentary

A

since

sometimes

such

See

to

it

that

this

ensures

In

this

case

recording

of

the

sound

are

practised

at

the

must

Thus

possible

Incidentally

note

that

reproduction

of

recorded

sound

becomes

a

little

compared

with

that

of

sound

since

there

and

simple

operation

of

HOW

TO

CONNECT

@

Basic

Connection

This

amplifier

is

so-called

pre-main

amplifier

composed

by

pre-amplifier

section

which

controls

playback

equipments

and

power

amplifier

section

which

amplifiers

the

signal

to

the

extent

that

it

drives

the

speaker

systems.

It

functions

as

the

stereophonic

reproduction

system

when

player,

tuner,

etc.

are

connected

to

the

input

terminals

and

speakers

or

headphone

to

the

output

terminals.

Thus

it is

basically

necessary

to

connect

this

amplifier

with

the

input

sources,

outputs

loads

and

naturally

mains

current.

§@

Connection

to

Input

Terminals

Connect

at

the

relevant

input

terminals

of

this

amplifier

the

output

of

player,

tuner,

or

tape-recorder.

As

to

the

details

see

the

chapters

of

Playback

of

Tuner

and

Tape-

Recorder.

™

Connection

Cable

(Cord

Wire)

For

connection

of

these

record-player,

tuner

and

tape-

recorder

shield

wire

is

used

for

protection

from

external

noise

or

inductance

noise.

Usually

this

shield

wire

has

the

capacitance

of

approx.

300pF/M,

that

is

to

say,

an

adoption

of

connection

cable

gives

the

same

effect

to

that

of

the

insertion

of

capacitor

tn

parallel

with

input

sources

or

output

load

equipments,

which

composes

a

kind

of

high-cut

filter

circuit.

For

instance

2

meters

of

this

shield

wire

has

GOO0pF

capacitance,

and

if

this

cord

is

used

at

the

point

where

parallel

composite

value

of

input

and

output

inpedance

is

50K,

it

means

an

insertion

of

a

high

cut

filter

with

the

cut-off

frequency

at

about

10KHz,

which

causes

to

yield

an

unnecessary

attenuation

of

high

frequency

range.

Use

of

shortest

wire

is,

therefore,

recommended

especially

on

the

equipments

of

high

impedance.

Choose

a

shield

wire

of

good

quality

and

use

it

as

short

as

possible

for

connection

of

this

amplifier

at

the

PHONO,

AUX,

tape-monitor,

tape

connector

etc,

with

the

apparatus

of

high

impedance.

In

case

either

of

input

or

output

ts

sufficiently

low

it

does

not

effect

much,

since

parallel

composite

impedance

becomes

lower

and

cut-off

frequency

will

be

shifted

out

of

an

audible

range.

It

does

not

matter

if

relatively

long

cable

is

used

for

pre-amplifier

section

output

and

recording

output

(REC.

OUT)

terminals,

since

their

impedance

is

so

designed

.as

to

be

sufficiently

low

(approx.

10022).

Connection

of

Stereophonic

is

made

with

a

pair

of

systems

for

right

channel

and

This

is

provided

with

2

terminals

for

Connection

can

be

made

in

the

manner.

Right

should

be

connected

to

the

to

the

left

terminats.

Note

that

perfect

sound

reproduction

cannot

be

expected

if

the

phase

is

not

matched

between

both

channels.

To

match

the

phase

is

to

connect

the

of

the

right

hand

speaker

to

+

terminal

(red

cap)

in

right

channel

of

this

amplifier

and

the

and

to

do

the

If

mismatched

for

some

reasons

(for

example

misconnection

of

speakers)

low

frequency

range

is

subdued

and

constant

cannot

be

realized.

To

connect

the

speaker

terminals

first

strip

off

the

end

of

shield

wire

by

10mm

and

insert

it

to

the

terminal

pressing

the

head,

and

then

of

sufficiently

low
