or
CD
and © ready for recording.
• With the recorder output switch ® 'REC OUT'
in
the position
'CD', 'PHONO', 'TUNER', 'TV/AUX l ' or 'VIDEO/AUX 2'. The
signal
at
the jacks © and
CD
then corresponds
to
the selected
'
REC
OUT' position (provided this sound source is set for
operation).
There is now the facility
to
make a recording from the selected
sound source with ® 'REC OUT', while you are listening to
another sound source selectedwith 0 'SELECTOR
'.
At
the same
time set a recorder connected
to
jacks © and @ or
CD
and
CD
ready for recording.

Listening
while
recording
with
a
recorder
It is possible
to
listen while recording
in
two ways:
• With selector switch @ 'TAPE MONITOR
l'
or @ 'TAPE
MONITOR 2' not pressed
in.

You
hear
the signal as it
goes
directly
from
the
sound
source
to
the
amplifier and it is
reproduced
amplified
(meth
od 1 only).
• With
selector
switch
@ 'TAPE MONITOR
l'
or
@ 'TAPE
MONITOR 2'
pressed
in. You
hear
the signal as it
goes
to
the
recorder
heads. The
strength
of
this signal is in this case partly
dependent
on
the
recording
volume
setting
of
the
recorder
.
Note:
If the
recorder
used
has separate heads
for
recording
and
playback, then it is
possible
to
monitor

manual.
Was
the
recording
unsuccessful?
-
If
the recording could be followedwithoutdisturbance with selector switch
@
or
@ pressed
in
, failure can only be caused by improper use of the
recorder.
- A faulty recordi

possible.
5.
Connect
the
wires
of
the
other
speaker
(in this case
the
right-hand speaker, 'R')
to
the
two
other
terminals (in this case
A), in exactly
the
same way, i.e.
the
marked
wire
again in
the
red terminal,the
unmarked
wire
in
the
black
terminal. Ifyou
do
not
do
this,
the
speakers
will
not
work
'in phase'. The
stereo
playback will
not
be
correct.
6.
If a
second
pair
of
speakers
is
to
be
connected
,
connect
them
in
exactly
the
same way
to
the
remaining terminals (in this case
terminals B).
7.
Check
that
all
connections
have
been
made
correctly:
• Uninsulated wire
ends
must
not
touch
each
other
(short
circuitl)
.
• The
wires
must
not
be
loose
in
the
terminals
(tighten
firmly).
8.
Do
not
switch
on the amplifier until you have
insured
that
the
volume
control
is
not
at
MAX
.
POSitioning
the
speakers
In
order
to
have as
good
a
stereo
effect
as possible, take care
when
setting
up
the
speakers
.
Because
every
room
has its
own
limitations,
the
best
position
will only be
found
by
experimenta-
tion.
Observe
the
following rules
when
ex
perimenting:
• Seen
from
the
listener
's position, place
the
speaker
connected
to
the
'L'
terminals on
the
left and the
speaker
connected
to
the
'R'
term
inals on
the
right.
• Try
to
keep
the
distance
between
the
speakers
the
same as
that
between
each
of
the
speakers
and the
listener's
position.
• Bass
reproduction
is amplified by placing the
speakers
on
the
floor
or
in a
corner.
• The placing
of
speakers,beh
i
nd
obstacles
(furniture, sunblinds,
curtains, etc.) has an unfavourable
effect
on
tr
eble
reproduction.
• Try
to
keep
the
arrangement
and pOSitioning
height
as
symmetrical
as possible.
Service
The
outside
of
the amplifier can be cleaned
with
a
damp
cloth
(not
wet
i). Use only
water
to
dampen the cloth.
