terminais,  at  the  "INPUT  CAPA­

CITOR" position. By this selection, 

complete shut-off of DC ingredients 

from the external source is possible. 

The  color  of  light  will  return  to 

white from red within 2 ~3 seconds 

after selection. 

The  INPUT  CAPACITOR  IN/ 

OUT  SELE(;:TOR  is also useful for 

protection  of  the  amplifier  itself 

when  for  use  with  loading  com­

ponents  of  which  impedance  will 

bêCOme  nearly  zero  in  the  ex­

tremely  low  frequency  range;  for 

example,  electrostatic  (condenser) 

speakers,  speakers  using  dividing 

networks  that  use  transformers  for 

low frequency eut-off, etc. 

8. ATTENUA TOR

Input  sensitivity  can  be  regu­

lated  to  optimum  level  by  this 

control. 

Two  independent  at­

tenuators  are  provided  for the right 

and left channels and any unbalance 

of levels  between the both channels 

can  be  adjusted.  Viewed from  the 

rear  side  of  the  amplifier,  the  left 

knob  is  for  the  right  channel,  and 

the  right  knob,  the  left  channel. 

Continuous  input  level attenuation 

from  OdB  down  to 

00 

is possible.

With  the knob  position completely 

turned  clockwise,  which  is  the 

MAX  position,  attenuation  amount 

is  0dB  (no  attenuation).  With  the 

knob  position  completely  turned 

counter-clockwise,  which  is  the 

MIN  position,  attenuation  amount 

is  infinite  (00) and  no  sound  play­

back  is possible.  The attenuator  is 

the  B type  volume  control  and  the 

attenuation  is  -6dB  (1 /2)  at  the 

neutral  (central) point  of the knob 

turning. 

9. EARTH TERMINAL

Earth terminais of exterior com­

ponent  such  as  a  preamplifier,  a 

peak  indicator and so forth must be 

connected  to  this  terminal.  To 

make  A/B  listening  test  of  am­

plifiers,  it  will  be  effective  to 

eliminate shock noise at changeover 

if  this  terminal  is  commonly  used 

for  grounding  of  the  tested  ampli­

fiers.
