O SUBSONIC FILTER SWITCH (subsonic filter) When playing the turntable, this filter switch is used to cut off super-low tones, which excessively vibrate the cone of the speaker. • HIGH CUT FILTER SWITCH (high cut) The high cut filter is used to reduce high frequency noise such as disc scratches or tape hiss. • SPEAKER SELECTORS (speakers) One or two speaker systems can be connected to this unit.

Usually it is set in the stereo position (button out). If the FM stereo broadcasting station you are l istening to is weak and there is a lot of noise, set this switch to "mono." The two channels are combined into a monaural signal, but the noise is reduced for more comfortable l istening. o TAPE MONITOR INDICATOR (TAPE MONITOR) This indicator illuminates when the TAPE MONITOR selector (tape 1 or tape 2) is pressed. O LOUDNESS SWITCH (loudness) This switch engages a feature which creates a more natural sound reproduction when listening at a low volume by boosting the low and high frequency ranges.

By setting the frequency step selector on the bottom panel, tuning can be performed by steps of either 50 kHz or 100 kHz for FM, 9 kHz or 10 kHz for AM. The United States broadcasting system uses 10 kHz steps for AM. e MEMORY SWITCH (memory) This switch is used to enter or change the preset broadcast stations.
