@Level Contro! Knobs A/B
Each knob controls the output level of the corre-
sponding line ( A/B ). The output level is variable
from —co( muted ) to +20qB.
%* When a knob is set to the center position, the
input and output levels are equal.
When an AC adaptor is being used to power the
LS-2, power can also be supplied to another
compact effect unit by connecting a paralleled DC
cord ( PCS-20A : option ) to this jack.
*When you are using battery power, the AC
Adaptor Out Jack does not function.
* When using the PSA-120, 220 or 240, be sure
that the total current draw of the LS-2 and any
external effect unit does not exceed 200mA.
