BALANCE

CONTROL:

•

The

nature

of

stereophonic

reproduction

is

such

that

it

requires

two

identical

channels

to

attain

the

highest

degree

of

faithfulness

and

spatial

distribution.

Any

variation

in

the

efficiency

of

one

channel

as

compared

to

the

other

will

disturb

this

relationship.

As

there

may

be

slight

differences

between

the

location

of

the

two

speakers,

tape

heads,

cartridge

coils,

etc.,

your

receiver

includes

a

special

control

to

balance

one

channel

against

the

other.

Sufficient

range

is

covered

by

this

control

to

permit

rebalancing

of

the

overall

system

even

in

extreme

cases

where

unbalance

exists.

NOTE:

The

BALANCE

control

may

be

set

anywhere

within

its

range

of

adjustment

to

attain

system

balance.

BASS

and

TREBLE

TONE

CONTROLS:

The

BASS

and

TREBLE

tone

controls

on

your

receiver

provide

the

full

range

of

tonal

adjustment

necessary

for

stereo

high

fidelity

listening.

The

tone

control

range

is

considerable

and

can

adequately

adjust

the

low

and

high

frequencies

in

accordance

with

your

listening

preference,

speaker
