OPERATING

THE

MODEL

TA260

AS

AN

INTEGRATED

RECEIVER

Every

control

on

a

well

designed

and

honestly

considered

high

fi

delity

instru-

ment

has

a

specific

useful

function

related

to

each

of

the

other

controls.

A

brief

explanatory

note

on

the

relationship

of

the

various

front

panel

controls

will

doubt-

less

prove

useful

in

organizing

and

clarifying

them

for

you.

Bass

and

Treble

Tone

Controls:

The

BASS

and

TREBLE

tone

controls

on

the

TA260

provide

the

full

range

of

tonal

adjustment

necessary

for

stereo

high

fi

delity

listening.

The

tone

control

range

is

considerable

and

can

adequately

adjust

the

low

and

high

frequencies

in

accordance

with

your

listening

preference,

speaker

characteristics

and

room

acoustics.

You

will

note

that

the

BASS

and

TREBLE

controls

each

have

two

knobs,

one

in

front

of

the

other.

The

front

knob

controls

the

right

channel

and

the

rear

knob

controls

the

left

channel.

The

front

and

rear

knobs

are

coupled

with

a

new

type

friction

-clutch,

so

that

the

BASS

or

TREBLE

tone

of

both

channels

can

be

adjusted

simultaneously

by

turning

the

front

or

main

body

of

the

knob.
