however,

as

it

does

not

and

the

TAPE

switch

in

TAPE

position.

It

is

very

important

to

make

sure

that

the

TAPE

MONITOR

knob

is

not

left

switched

to

either

TAPE

1

or

TAPE

2

after

you

finish

listening

to

a

cassette.

If

it

is,

you

will

be

left

with

silence

and

won't

be

able

to

listen

to

CD's,

records,

FM,

etc.

until

the

TAPE

MONITOR

switch

is

returned

to

SOURCE.

7.

Function

To

the

right

of

the

TAPE

MONITOR

knob

is

the

FUNCTION

selector.

It

lets

you

choose

which

sound

source

you

wish

to

listen

to.

All

settings

but

the

TUNER

are

used

to

select

the

inputs

of

other

components

such

as

a

Compact

Disc

player

or

turntable.

Of

particular

interest

are

the

VIDEO

and

AUX

(HK550Vxi

ONLY)

inputs.

The

VIDEO

source

input

allows

you

to

connect

the

stereo

or

mono

audio

output(s)

of

a

VCR,

TV

tuner,

Laser

Disc

player,

MTS

adaptor

or

stereo

TV

output

into

your

hi-fi

system.

If

your

source

is

high

quality

(such

as

a

Beta/VHS

Hi-Fi

VCR

or

MTS

stereo

broadcast),

and

it

is

possible

to

position

your

television

set

between

your

stereo

speakers,

the

enhanced

sound

field

will

contribute

greatly

to

your

video

enjoyment.

Note

that

VIDEO,

CD,

AUX

(HK550Vxi

ONLY)

and

both

TAPE

inputs

can

all

accept

inputs

from

any

line

level

component.

You

may

use

any

of

these

to

connect

program

sources

(such

as

an

additional

VCR

or

third

tape

deck).

8.

Volume

Control

The

extent

to

which

the

VOLUME

can

be

increased

control

is

determined

by

several

factors.

One

is

how

loud

you

listen

to

music.

Another

is

the

fact

that

each

speaker

model

has

different

power

consumption

and

power

handling

characteristics.

If

you

hear

audible

distortion

while

operating

the

HK550Vxi

or

HK440Vxi

at

high

sound

pressure

levels

or

when

bass

boost

has

been

added

by

the

LOUDNESS

or

BASS

controls,

reduce

the

volume

to

prevent

possible

speaker

damage.
