Other features
O DIMMER pushbutton
Reduces the light intensity of the whole display.
Use this feature to reduce eye-strain when the receiver is
operated in the dark.
o GRAPHIC EQUALIZER controls
Divides each channel into seven bands. Center frequencies
of the seven bands are set approximately 1 octave apart at
60 Hz. 160 Hz, 400 Hz, 1 kHz, 2.5 kHz. 6 kHz and 15 kHz.
The upper or lower pushbuttons permit each of these bands
to be boosted or cut by up to 10 dB. With all the LEDs in the
0 dB position, the overall frequency response is flat.
O MIXING LEVEL (MIC) control
Facilitates the mixing of your vocal accompaniment with any
program sources set with the INPUT SELECTOR keys, TAPE
MONITOR keys, or DUBBING keys and mixing with any
sources reproduced through the graphic equalizer circuit.
For further details, see page 21.
O BALANCE control
Permits balancing of left and right channels when an imba­
lance exists in the source sound, or to correct acoustic im­
balance due to room conditions.
Move it to the left from the zero position to boost the left
channel: move it to the right of the zero position to raise the
level of the right channel.
O MIC jack
Plug a microphone into this jack.
O MUTING key
This is a convenient feature which attenuates the audio out­
put by 20 dB without changing the VOLUME setting: use it
when answering the telephone or changing a record, etc.
When the key is pushed.the VOLUME setting indicator re­
mains as it is but its light changes to red.
When the power is turned off while muting is in use, the
muting is released automatically.
O VOLUME keys (UP and DOWN)
This VOLUME control performs the same function of con­
ventional ones by pushing the keys marked UP and DOWN.
However, the VOLUME is interlocked with the PRESET VOL
control: that is, when the PRESET VOL control is set to the
desired volume level, the sound level is automatically adjust­
ed to the preset level when power is first set on: when the
PRESET VOL control is set fully counterclockwise, slight
sound is output. To control the preset sound level any
further, push the UP or DOWN key. When the power is
turned off, the sound level is always set to zero by motor-
drive. During these operations, the control setting is indicat­
ed with the blue band as a guide.
O PHONES jack
Stereo headphones are plugged into this jack.
When all speakers are disconnected from the signal flow­
chart by pressing the SPEAKERS keys, only headphones can
be heard.
