mal playback cannot be achieved with wrong connections 
of R, L, 

!

, or

.)

2. Whenever the power is turned on and off or the input se-

lector is changed over, set the volume control to the mini-
mum position in advance.

Playback procedure

1.  Press the operation switch to turn on the switch after en-

suring that the volume control is set to the minimum posi-
tion.

2. Select a source to be played back with the input selector 

or with the monitor switch.

3.  Adjust the sound level with the volume control.
4.  Operate the line straight switch, balance control, and tone 

control according to the source to be played back.

How to operate line straight switch

The line straight switch is used to play sound with the short-
est signaling route to enhance the purity of the source select-
ed with the input selector. When this switch is set to on, the 
balance control, tone control, subsonic, monaural and loud-
ness are bypassed.

How to operate balance control

The balance control allows users to adjust the balance of 
sound volume between right and left channels. When the bal-
ance adjustment is not required, the balance control should 
be set to the center position.

When the line straight switch is set to on, the balance con-
trol does not function.

How to operate tone control

This unit has the tone control function for the low frequency 
and high frequency ranges.
The low frequency tone control (bass) is a function to adjust 
the tone range lower than the selected one with the selector 
switch (FREQUENCY/Hz for low frequency). The tone con-
trol is set to flat frequency characteristics at the center posi-
tion. Rotating the control clockwise makes the low frequency 
range enhanced, and rotating the control counterclockwise 
makes the low frequency range attenuated.
The high frequency tone control (treble) is a function to adjust 
the tone range higher than the selected one with the selector 
switch (FREQUENCY/Hz for high frequency).
The tone control is set to flat frequency characteristics at 
the center position. Rotating the control clockwise makes 
the high frequency range enhanced, and rotating the control 
counterclockwise makes the high frequency range attenuat-
ed. For both the low frequency and high frequency ranges, 
the right and left channels interlockingly function.

When the line straight switch is set to on, the tone control 
does not function.

How to record a source

1.  Select a source to be recorded with the input selector.
2. Set the recording switch of the recorder to the recording 

standby state.

3.  Play the source to be recorded and set the recorder to the 

recording state.

*  Operation of the volume control, tone control, or balance 

control does not affect the recording signals.
