8  INPUT SELECTORS:

 These buttons select the active input to the 

C 356BEE and the signal sent to the loudspeakers, headphones and the 
PRE OUT sockets. The corresponding buttons on the remote control 
handset duplicate these buttons. When selected, the corresponding 
input LED indicator embedded around the bezel of the particular input 
button will illuminate blue. 

MP (MEDIA PLAYER):

 Selects a line-level source connected to the MP 

sockets as the active input. 

If an external Media Player is connected to the front MP socket (using 
a 3.5mm stereo plug) while listening to a MP line-level source, the 
external Media Player will be directly selected with the MP line-level 
source immediately disconnected. It is recommended to mute the 
volume or switch to a different input before plugging/unplugging the 
external Media Player cable.

CD:

 Selects the CD player (or other line-level source) connected to the 

CD sockets as the active input.

TUNER:

 Selects the tuner (or other line-level source) connected to the 

tuner sockets as the active input. 

DISC/MDC:

 Selects a line-level source connected to the DISC sockets. 

If an optional Modular Design Construction (MDC) module is installed, 
the DISC input socket is disabled and the MDC source is selected as the 
active input.

AUX:

 Selects a line-level source connected to the AUX sockets as the 

active input.

TAPE 2:

 Selects TAPE 2 as the active input.

TAPE MONITOR:

 Selects the output from a tape recorder when playing 

back tapes or monitor recordings that are being made through the 
TAPE MONITOR sockets. 

TAPE MONITOR does not override the current input selection. For 
example, if CD is the active input when TAPE MONITOR is selected, then 
the CD signal will continue to be selected and sent to both the TAPE 2 
and TAPE MONITOR output sockets, but it is the sound from recorder 
connected to TAPE MONITOR that will be heard in the loudspeakers. 
Apart from the TAPE MONITOR LED illuminated to indicate it is engaged, 
the corresponding LED indicator for the active input will also stay 
illuminated.

9  TONE DEFEAT:

 Tone Controls are enabled or disabled by pressing this 

button. When enabled (TONE DEFEAT LED indicator is illuminated), the 
Tone Control circuits are bypassed. The Tone Control circuits are active 
when the TONE DEFEAT LED indicator stays extinguished.

10   TONE CONTROLS:

 The C 356BEE is fitted with BASS and TREBLE tone 

controls to adjust the tonal balance of your system. The 12 o’clock 
position is “flat” with no boost or cut, and an indent indicates this 
position. Rotate the control clockwise to increase the amount of Bass or 
Treble. Rotate the control counterclockwise to decrease the amount of 
Bass or Treble. The Tone controls do not affect recordings made using 
the TAPE output terminals but will affect the signal going to the Pre-
amp output terminals (PRE OUT 1 and PRE OUT 2).

11  BALANCE:

 The BALANCE control adjusts the relative levels of the 

left and right speakers. The 12 o’clock position provides equal level to 
the left and right channels. A detent indicates this position. Rotating 
the control clockwise moves the balance towards the right. Rotating 
the control counterclockwise moves the balance to the left. The 
BALANCE control does not affect recordings made using the TAPE 
output terminals but will affect the signal going to the Pre-amp output 
terminals (PRE OUT 1 and PRE OUT 2).

12  VOLUME:

 The VOLUME control adjusts the overall loudness of the 

signals being fed to the loudspeakers or headphones. Turn clockwise 
to increase the volume level; counter clockwise to lower it. The 
VOLUME control does not affect recordings made using the TAPE 
output terminals but will affect the signal going to the Pre-amp output 
terminals (PRE OUT 1 and PRE OUT 2).
