harman kardon OPERAT HIGH FIDELITY CONSOLE RADIO-PHONOGRAPH ION AND SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS $7: • The purpose of your new Coda is to recreate music and the spoken word in your home as the composer wished you to hear it. An understanding of the fine instrument you have purchased and the intelligent use of it will make it possible for you to achieve this purpose with almost no compromise. Keep in mind that a high fidelity performance created in your living room has a number of actual advantages over listening to the same program material in a concert hall or stadium. For one thing, today's records are produced under absolutely ideal conditions, and the recording which you place on your record changer clearly reflects this fact. When necessary, a passage has been redone and redone until perfection has been achieved. In addition, there are controls on your Coda, such as the Loudness Contour Control and the Tone Controls which make it possible for you to adjust your system so that proper compensation has been made for the acoustics of your room and for your own hearing characteristics. This is obviously not possible in an auditorium or concert hall. We urge you to study the following material carefully. It has been written in lay language to familiarize you thoroughly with the Coda so that you can make it perform to its maximum potential. HARMAN - KARDON, 520 MAIN STREET, WESTBURY, L. I., N. Y.
