Operation of Controls
and Switches
Reception ol FM Broadcasts
1. Whether you plan to listen to FM-monaural or Fl\4 stereo
broadcasts, first set the SELECTOR switch (5) to the FN4-AUTO
position, and the M0DE/TAPE MON SWITCH(17)to the MODE-
STEREO position.
OThis receiver is equipped with an FM rnono,/stereo automatic
switching circuit which serves to identify an FM signal
automatically as either a mono or a stereo signal. Monaural
signals are reproduced in mono, and stereo signals are
automaically reproduced in stereo. When a stereo signal
is received and reproduced, the stereo indicator light will
go on.
2. The MUTING switch (14) is set to the MUTING position lf,
however, the receiving signal is weak in your area, leave this
switch in the 0FF position.
3. Set the AFC switch (15) to the OFF position, and then tune
in a desired station with the TUNING C0NTROL (4) while
observing the TUNING INDICATOR (3) for pinpoint accuracy
in tuning.
4. After the desired station has been tuned in accurately, the
AFC switch is set to the AFC position to activate the auto-
matic frequency control circuit.
NOTES: 1. With the SELECTOR(5) set to the Flvl AUT0 position,
if an extremely weak stereo broadcast is received,
the receiver will automatrcally switch to mono operation.
2. lt you wish to reproduce FM stereo broadcasts in
rnono, or if there is excessive noise with the SE,
LECTOR (5) set to the FM AUTO position and tonal
quality is impaired, set the SELECTOR (5) to the FIV-
M0NO position. In this case, the IVODt/TAPE tVON
swiich (17) may be set to either MODE LEFT or
IV]ODE-RIGHT.
Reception of AM Broadcasts
1. The SELECTOR switch(5)is set to the AM position. The M0DE/
TAPE l\lON switch (17) may be set to any of |VIODE-STEREO,
MOD['LEFT, or MODE-RIGHT
2. The desired station ts tuned in by means of the TUNING
control (4) whrle observing the TUNING INDICATOR (3)
Record Reproduction
1 The SELECTOR switch (5) is set to the PHONO position.
2. For reproducing the iurntable outputs fed to the PHON0 1
input jacks (26), the PHONO switch (16) is set to the PHONO
1 position, and for reproducing the turntable outputs fed to
the PHONO 2 input jacks (27J, Ihe switch (16) is set to the
PHON0 2 position.
OWhen using a turntable equipped with either ceramic pickup
type cartridge cr crystal pickup type cartridge, the setting
of the PHONO switch {16) can be set to any position.
3. The NIODE/TAPE MON switch (17) is now set io the MODE,
STERE0 positron. However, when using a monaural turntable,
it should be set to either the IMODE LEFT or MODE-RIGHT
position, depending upon whicn channel input the output
cable of the turntable is connected to.
Direct reproduction of tape head outputs
OWhen the signal directly derived from the playback head of a
tape deck is reproduced through ihis receiver, the operaiion
will be as follows:
l. The SELECTOR switch (5) is set to erther the TAPE HD I l/2
or TAPE HD 33/4 position, depending upon the speed at
which the tape is to be played back.
2. The MODE/TAPE lVlON switch (17) is now set to the MODE-
STERE0 position. However, when a rnonaural tape deck is
used, it should be set to either the MODE-LEFT or IVIODE
RIGHT position depending upon which of ihe two input
channels the output cable from the tape deck is connected
to.
Note: For playback of a mono material using a stereo tape deck,
the M0DE/TAPE MON switch (17) shouid be set to either
the MODE LEFT or lvl0DE-RIGHT position, depending upon
which track the material is recorded on.
Recording and Playback Using
Tape Recorder
oRecording
1. The signals of the program being reproduced through the
loudspeakers are always present at the TAPE REC output
jacks (32). Therefore, the SELECTOR switch (5) and MODE/
TAPE IVION switch (17) are appropriately set to select an
optional program source in the normal manner for reproduction
through the loudspeakers. Then, the signals from the TAPE
REC output jacks (32) can be recorded on the tape recorder.
Note: The VOLUME, BASS, and TREBLE controls of the receiver
do not affect the sounds being recorded. The recording
level should be adjusted with the level controls of the
tape recorder.
oPlayback
1. For stereo playback, the IVODt/TAPE MON switch (17) is set
to the TAPE Nl0N STEREO position. For playback of mono
material using a monaural or stereo tape recorder, the MODE/
TAPE l\{ON switch (17) may be set to either the TAPE IVION
LEFT or TAPE l\10N-RIGET position.
oTape Monitoring
When using a 2-or 3 head tape recorder equrpped with a
monitor circuit, by makrng all connections for recording and
playback, it will be possible to monitor the record ng in progess
by moving the MODE,/TAPE lvl0N switch (17) from the MODE
STERE0 position to the TAPE IVION STEREO position. ln the
case of a 2head tape recorder, the signal being fed to the
recording head will be monitored, and in the cass of a 3,head
tape recorder, the signals recorded on the tape will immediately
be monitored by the playback head picking up the recorded
