SPEAKER

SYSTEM

CONNECTIONS

(Fig.

1)

The

amplifier

is

provided

with

two

sets

of

SPEAK-

ERS

output

terminals.

Use

the

A

set

when

con-

necting

only

one

set

of

speakers.

Viewed

from

the

front,

the

R

(right

channel)

SPEAKERS

terminals

are

on

the

right

and

the

L

(left

channel)

SPEAK-

ERS

terminals

are

on

the

left.

Connect

the

left

channel

speaker

to

the

L

terminals

and

the

right

channel

speaker

to

the

R

terminals.

The

red

L

and

R

SPEAKERS

terminals

have

a

plus

polarity

and

the

black

terminals

have

a

minus

polarity

and

the

speaker

systems

have

also

the

same

dual

polarities.

When

connecting,

always

connect

minus

to

minus

and

plus

to

plus.

Cautions

when

connecting

the

speakers

1.

The

speaker

output

terminals

have

polarities:

minus

(black)

and

plus

(red).

The

input

jacks

on

the

speakers

also

have

plus

and

minus

polarities.

When

connecting,

make

sure

that

these

polarities

are

aligned:

plus

to

plus

and

minus

to

minus.

If

the

left

and

right

speaker

polarities

are

mis-

aligned,

the

reproduced

sound

will

not

display

a

natural

stereo

effect.

2.

Use

speakers

with

a

nominal

impedance

ranging

from

4

ohms

to

16

ohms.

3.

Never

use

the

speakers

with

the

speaker

output

terminals

shorted

(minus

and

plus

jacks

con-

nected)

since

this

may

damage

the

power

transis-

tors

in

the

amplifier.

Processing

and

connecting

the

speaker

cords

(Fig.

2)

1.

Cut

off

the

covering

of

the

speaker

cords

as

shown

in

Fig.

2-

@.

2.

If

the

strands

at

the

tip

of

the

cord

are

pointing

in

all

directions,

twist

them

with

your

thumb

and

forefinger.

Otherwise

some

of

the

strands

may

come

into

contact

with

other

terminals

and

cords,

and

cause

a

short.

3.

Push

down

on

the

buttons

under

the

terminals

with

the

tip

of

your

finger,

and

slip

the

tip

of

the

cord

into

the

hole

in

the

center

of

the

terminal.

Make

sure

that

the

lead

wire

in

the

cord

does

not

protrude.

4.

Remove

your

fingertip

from

the

button.

The

-

terminal

will

snap

back

into

position

and

so

check

that

the

cord

is

securely

connected.

You

may

not

hear

any

sound

if

the

cords

are

not

connected

properly.

will

depend

on

the

type

POWER

SWITCH

Set

this

switch

to

ON

to

supply

power

to

the

amplifier.

There

will

be

a

short

delay

when

it

is

set

to

ON,

because

the

muting

circuit

has

been

actuated

to

suppress

the

unpleasant

noise

that

is

sometimes

generated

when

the

power

is

on

and

off.

@

SPEAKER

SELECTOR

Use

this

selector

to

select

the

speaker

systems.

OFF:

Sound

not

obtained

from

speakers.

A:

Sound

obtained

from

speakers

connected

to

the

A

speaker

terminals.

B:

Sound

obtained

from

speakers

connected

to

the

B

speaker

terminals.

A+B:

Sound

obtained

from

speakers

connected

to

both

A

and

B

speaker

terminals.

@

POWER

METER

This

meter

allows

you

to

read

out

the

rated

power

level

on

the

fluorescent

display

tube

when

speakers

with

a

nominal

impedance

of

8

ohms

are

connected

to

the

amplifier’s

speaker

terminals.

@

FUNCTION

INDICATORS

The

TUNER,

PHONO,

AUX

function

indicators

light

up

in

accordance

with

the

position

of

the

function

selector.

NOTE:

The

function

indicator

will

not

go

off

when

the

tape

monitor

switch

is

set

to

position

‘‘1”’

or

‘‘2”’.

LOUDNESS

SWITCH

When

listening

to

a

performance

with

the

volume

control

turned

down,

set

this

switch

to

ON

and

the

bass

and

treble

will

be

accentuated.

When

the

volume

is

low,

the

human

ear

finds

it

harder

to

hear

the

bass

and

treble

than

when

the

volume

is

high.

The

loudness

switch

is

thus

designed

to

compensate

for

this

deficiency.

By

setting

it

to

ON,

the

bass

and

treble

come

through

much

more

strongly

and

the

sound

takes

on

a

punch

even

when

the

volume

control

is

turned

down.

©

VOLUME

CONTROL

Use

this

control

to

adjust

the

output

level

to

the

speakers

and

headphones.

Turn

it

clockwise

to

increase

the

output

level.

No

sound

will

be

heard

if

you

set

it

to

“‘0”’.

@

MUTING

SWITCH

Set

this

switch

to

—20dB

to

attenuate

the

audio

output

by

20dB.

There

is

no

need

to

adjust

the

volume

control

if

you

use

this

switch

when

turn-

ing

down

the

audio

output

temporarily

and

when

changing

over

records

or

tapes.

HEADPHONE

JACK

Plug

the

headphones

into

this

jack

when

you

want

to

listen

through

your

stereo

headphones.

NOTE:

Set

the

speaker

selector

to

OFF

when

listening

only

with

headphones,

BASS

AND

TREBLE

CONTROLS

|

|

Use

these

controls

to

adjust

the

bass

and

the

|

treble.

If

you

set

the

tone

switch

to

ON

and

turn

the

bass

control

to

right

from

its

center

position,

you

will

be

able

to

emphasize

the

sound

in

the

low-frequency

range,

Conversely,

turning

the

bass

control

to

the

left

from

the

center

position,

you

will

attenuate

the

sound.

You

can

use

the

treble

control

to

adjust

the

sound

in

the

high-frequency

range.

TONE

SWITCH

Set

this

switch

to

ON

when

adjusting

the

bass

and

treble

controls.

When

set

to

OFF,

the

tone

con-

trol

circuits

are

disengaged

and

frequency

response

is

flat.

This

function

is

convenient

for

checking

phono

cartridge

and

speaker

tone

quality

and

listening

room

acoustics.

@

BALANCE CONTROL

Use

this

control

to

balance

the

volume

of

the

left

and

right

channels.

First,

however,

set

the

mode

selector

to

MONO,

and

adjust

so

that

the

sound

appears

to

come

from

somewhere

exactly

be-

tween

the

two

speakers.

If

the

sound

appears

to

be

louder

on

the

right,

it

means

that

the

volume

of

the

right

channel

is

higher.

Turn

the

balance

control

to

the

left

and

adjust.

Conversely,

if

the

sound

appears

to

be

louder

on

the

left,

it

means

that

the

volume

of

the

left

channel

is

higher.

Therefore,

turn

the

balance

control

to

the

right

and

adjust.

After

adjusting,

return

the

mode

selector

to

ST.

SUBSONIC

FILTER

SWITCH

When

this

switch

is

set

to

the

15Hz

position,

the

subsonic

filter

with

a

cut-off

frequency

of

15Hz

is

actuated.

The

subsonic

filter

serves

to

attenuate

frequencies

lower

than

15Hz

in

a

6dB/oct

slope.

It

is

therefore

effective

in

suppressing

ultra-low-

frequency

noise

which

is

generated

by

record

warp

and

other

causes.

You

cannot

actually

hear

this

noise

but

it is

a

factor

in

the

generation

of

intermodulation

distortion

and

it

may

damage

your

speaker

system.

Set

this

switch

to

the

15Hz

position

during

record

play

for

the

best

effect.
