Tape Deck Connections To connect a tape deck, first connect the line outputs of the tape deck to the left and right TAPE 1 IN jacks (9) of the receiver. Then connect the left and right TAPE 1 OUT jacks (10) of the hk670 to the line inputs of the tape deck. To connect a second tape deck, repeat the procedure using the TAPE 2 IN and TAPE 2 OUT jacks (11) of the hk670. A standard DIN socket (12) is provided for tape decks equipped with a DIN connector. Time Delay and Signal Processing In addition to providing connections for tape decks, the TAPE IN and OUT jacks of the hk670 can be used to connect signal processors such as equalizers, noise reduction units, and dynamic range enhancers. In particular, the TAPE 2 OUT jacks can be used to connect a time delay system. In this configuration, the TAPE 2 OUT jacks provide the input for a time delay unit, which is then connected to separate amplifiers and speakers. Auxiliary Input Connection The AUX inputs (13) provide for an auxiliary source and -if desired playback with an additional cassette, cartridge, or open-reel tape deck. A special tuner for long wave, marine, aircraft, citizen's band, or the audio output of a television set are among the components that can also be connected to 1 the AUX inputs. AC Convenience Outlets The AC outlets on the rear panel provide connections for a turntable, tape deck, or other equipment drawing as much as 200 watts of current. One outlet is marked SWITCHED (14) and is "live" only when the receiver is switched on. The other, marked UNSWITCHED (15), provides power whenever the receiver itself is connected to a "live" AC outlet. Automatic turntables and changers should be plugged into the UNSWITCHED outlet to allow the automatic function to complete its cycle, even after the receiver has been turned off. Power Connection If you have completed all the connections you wish to make, you are now ready to place the receiver in its permanent position and plug its power line cord (1) into an AC outlet. OPERATION Power The POWER switch (16) is located on the left side of the front panel, and is "on" in the depressed position. Speaker Selection and Headphones The SPEAKER 1 (17) and SPEAKER 2 (18) switches select the pair of speakers to be played. When either switch is depressed, the corresponding pair of speakers is activated. The front panel HEADPHONES jack (19) accepts headphone for personal listening. Headphones may be used simultaneously with speakers if desired. Selecting Function Use the FUNCTION control (20) to select the desired program source. To Play Records Set the FUNCTION control (20) to PHONO, activate your turntable, and advance the VOLUME control (21) clockwise to a comfortable level. If you hear hum at average listening levels, turn the POWER switch (16) off and check to see that PHONO (7) and GND (8) connections are secure. Tone Controls To increase the loudness, turn the VOLUME control clockwise. The BALANCE control (22) shifts the sound to one speaker or the other. The BASS and TREBLE controls affect the frequency balance of the program material. Their neutral positions are at 12 o'clock. Turning the TREBLE control (23) clocwise increases the high frequencies. The BASS control (24) has the same effect on the low frequencies. When the LOUDNESS switch (25) is depressed, very high and very low frequencies are boosted at low settings of the VOLUME control. This compensates for the ear's relative insensitivity to extreme frequencies at low volume levels. The switch has little effect at VOLUME settings beyond 12 o'clock. When the MONO switch (26) is depressed, the audio signals from left and right channels are combined, and this monophonic signal is supplied to both speakers.

of
the
tape
deck
to
the
left
and
right
TAPE
1

a
second
tape
deck,
repeat
the
procedure
using
the
TAPE
2
IN
and
TAPE
2
OUT
jacks
(11)
of
the
hk670.
A
standard
DIN

Time
Delay
and
Signal
Processing
In
addition
to
providing
connections
for
tape
decks,
the
TAPE
IN
and
OUT
jacks
of
the
hk670
can
be
used
to
connect
signal
proc-
essors
such
as
equalizers,
noise
reduction
units,
and
dynamic
range
enhancers.
In
par-
ticular,
the
TAPE
2
OUT
jacks
can
be
used
to
connect
a
time
delay
system.
In
this
configu-
ration,
the
TAPE
2
OUT
jacks
provide
the
input
for
a
time
delay
unit,
which
is
then
con-
nected
to
separate
amplifiers
and
speakers.
Auxiliary
Input
Connection
The
AUX
inputs
(13)
provide
for
an
auxi
liary
source
and
—if
desired
playback
with
an
additional
cassette,
cartridge,
or
open
-reel
tape
deck.
A
special
tuner
for
long
wave,
marine,
aircraft,
citizen's
band,
or
the
audio
output
of
a
television
set
are
among
the
components
that
can
also
be
connected
to
1
the
AUX
inputs.
AC
Convenience
Outlets
The
AC
outlets
on
the
rear
panel
provide
connections
for
a
turntable,
tape
deck,
or
other

drawing
as
much
as
200
watts
of
current.
One

provides
power
when-
ever
the
receiver
itself
is
connected
to
a
"live"
AC
outlet.
Automatic
turntables
and
changers
should
be
plugged
into
the
UNSWITCHED
outlet
to
al
low

its
cycle,
even
after
the
receiver
has
been
turned
off.
Power

you
have
completed
all
the
connections
you
wish
to
make,
you
are
now
ready
to
place
the
receiver
in
its
permanent
position
and
plug
its
power
line
cord
(1)
into
an
AC
outlet.
OPERATION
Power
The
POWER
switch
(16)
is
located
on
the
left
side
of
the
front
panel
,
and
is
"on"
in
the
depressed
position.
Speaker
Selection
and
Headphones
The
SPEAKER
1
(17)
and
SPEAKER
2
(18)
switches
select
the
pair
of
speakers
to
be
played.
When
either
switch
is
depressed,
the
corresponding
pair
of
speakers
is
activated.
The
front
panel
HEADPHONES
jack
(19)
accepts
headphone
for
personal
listening.
Headphones
may
be
used
simultaneously
with
speakers
if
desired.
Selecting
Function
Use
the
FUNCTION
control
(20)
to
select
the
desired
program
source.
To
Play
Records
Set
the
FUNCTION
control
(20)
to
PHONO,
activate
your
turntable,
and
advance
the
VOLUME
control
(21)
clockwise
to
a
comfort-
able
level
.
If
you
hear
hum
at
average
l
istening
levels,
turn
the
POWER
switch
(16)
off
and
check
to
see
that
PHONO
(7)
and
GND
(8)
connections
are
secure.
Tone
Controls
To
increase
the
loudness,
turn
the
VOLUME
control
clockwise.
The
BALANCE
control
(22)
shifts
the
sound
to
one
speaker
or
the
other.
The
BASS
and
TREBLE
controls
affect
the
frequency
balance
of
the
program
mate-
rial
.
Their
neutral
positions
are
at
12
o'clock.
Turning
the
TREBLE
control
(23)
clocwise
increases
the
high
frequencies.
The
BASS
control
(24)
has
the
same
effect
on
the
low
frequencies.
When
the
LOUDNESS
switch
(25)
is
depressed,
very
high
and
very
low
frequen-
cies
are
boosted
at
low
settings
of
the
VOL-
UME
control
.
This
compensates
for
the
ear's
relative
insensitivity
to
extreme
frequencies
at
low
volume
levels.
The
switch
has
l
ittle
effect
at
VOLUME
settings
beyond
12
o'clock.
When
the
MONO
switch
(26)
is
depressed,
the
audio
signals
from
left
and
right
channels
are
combined,
and
this
mon-
ophonic
signal
is
supplied
to
both
speakers.
