Bass aand ttreble ttone ccontrols
These controls allow subtle adjustments to the tonal balance of the
sound. In the central position these controls have no effect. These
controls only modify the sound through your loudspeakers and the Pre-
Out sockets (where featured), they do not affect the signals sent through
the Tape Out connections. With a well produced CD and a good system
the tone controls are unnecessary and can be switched out. If the
musical recording is of poor quality and/or the
loudspeakers/surroundings are lacking it may be necessary to adjust
the tone controls to compensate.
Volume
The Volume control increases/decreases the level of the sound from the
outputs of the amplifier. This control affects the level of the Loudspeaker
output, the pre amp output and the headphone output. It does not affect
the Tape Out Connections.
It is advisable to turn the Volume control fully anti-clockwise before
switching the amplifier on.
Balance
This control allows you to adjust the relative output levels of the left and
right channels. In the central position the output from each channel is
equal. This control only modifies the sound through your loudspeakers
and the Pre-Out sockets (where featured), it does not affect the signals
sent through the Tape Out connections.
Input sselection ppush bbuttons
Push the appropriate input selection button to select the source
component that you wish to listen to. The signal selected is also fed to
the Tape Out sockets so that it may be recorded. The input should not
be changed whilst recording, although the recorded signal can be
checked using the tape input Tape monitor.
Tape mmonitor sselection bbutton
This control lets you listen to the output signal from a tape recorder or
