ENGLISH ENGLISH FRANCAIS FRANCÇAIS DEUTSCH DEUTSCH i Tone (BASS, TREBLE) controls Turn the knobs to adjust the tone. Turning a knob controls the level of the corresponding frequency range. Turning each con- trol toward "+" boosts the corresponding frequency range and toward "- " attenuates it. TREBLE: Controls the tone of high frequencies. BASS: Controls the tone of low frequencies. o BALANCE control Turn to correct the left-right imbalance which may occur in stereo broadcast reception or otherwise change the output level of either the LEFT or RIGHT channel. Be careful of the position of this control because turning it fully clockwise or counterclockwise mutes the sound from the other channel. !0 SOURCE DIRECT switch When this switch is pressed in, the signals are transmitted by bypassing the BALANCE and tone (BASS and TREBLE) control circuitry so that they can be reproduce with a higher quality. (The BALANCE, BASS and TREBLE controls are defeated.) !1 Warm-up meter With any audio unit, the real sound quality cannot be obtained immediately after the power is turned on, and warming up is required to make the unit exhibit its full performance. As time passes after the power has been turned ON, the temperatures of different parts of the unit become constant and the electrolytic capacitors become active. This meter allows to check the warm-up condition of the unit. The meter needle starts to swing gradually in a little while after the power is turned ON and reaches about 2/3 of the meter's full scale in about 30 minutes. Now the unit has almost been warmed up and can reproduce music with its original performance. The meter positions immediately after turning power on and at the end of warming up and the time taken for warming up are variable depending on the temperature, ventilation and other conditions of the listening room where the unit is located.
