MICROPHONE
(3)
JACKS
*
Two
microphones
are
provided
for
use
in

for
these
microphones
include
switches
so
that

(24)
switch
does
not
effect
the

when
both
microphones
are
plugged
in.
Since
the
RADIO,
PHONO,
or
AUXILIARY
will
continue
to
play,
the
VOLUME

should
be
turned
down,
unless

the
unit
is
in
the
RECORD

and
the
VOLUME
(20)
control
turned
up.
In
this
condition
the

should
be
as
far
from

as
possible
to
reduce
feedback
which
causes
howling.

you
no
longer
want,
this
unit
will

FOR
RECORDING
ON
AN
EXTERNAL
TAPE
RECORDER
(NOT
INCLUDED)
You
can
easily
use
this
instrument
as
a
signal
source
for
recording
on
an
external

(32)
jacks
provided
on
the

unit.
These
jacks
are
always
connected
and
the
material
being
recorded
is
the
same
as
that
you
hear
on
the
speakers,
Note:
The
TAPE

TO
LISTEN
TO
SIMULATED
4
CHANNEL
A
special
circuit
is
included
in
this
instrument
that
makes
it
possible
to
enhance
the
acoustical
performance
by
adding
two
speakers
(not
included)
which
reproduce
the
ambient
sounds
not
normally
reproduced
in
stereo
systems.
This
gives
an
effect
of
being
surrounded
by
sound,
not
much
different
than
the
4
channel
effect.
1.
Plug
the
two
additional
speaker
boxes
(not
included)
into
the
REAR
SPEAKER
(29)
jacks
located
on
the
rear
panel
of
the
main
unit.
Note
that
these
jacks
are
marked
"FT
and
"L"
for
right
and
left
and
arrange
these
speakers
accordingly.
2.
Locate
these
speakers
so
they
will
be
behind
the
listener
when
he
is
seated
facing
the
MAIN
SPEAKERS.
3.
Play
the
instrument
in
any
function
that
has
stereo.
There
is
no
simulated
4
channel
effect
when
playing
monaural
programs,
such
as
AM.
4.
Set
the
SPEAKER
2/4
(22)
push
switch
to
4
and
note
the
simulated
4
channel
effect.
SPECIAL
HINTS
ON
HOW
TO
GET
MORE
OUT
OF
YOUR
SYSTEM
AM
-
You
may
find
that
you
can
improve
the
reception
to
your
favorite
AM
station
by
turning
the
set
a
small
amount.
FM
-
Re
sure
to
unravel
the
line
cord
fully
since
this
receiver
uses
the
line
cord
for
a
built-in
FM
antenna.
-

8
-
ANTEIMNA
TERMINALS
(33)
are
provided
on
the
rear
panel
of
the
main
unit
so
that
an
external
antenna
can
be
attached.
Since
the
range
of
FM
signals
is
not
very
great,
you
may
find
significant
FM
re¬
ception
improvement
by
adding
an
external
antenna.
It
may
be
necessary
to
consult
your
dealer
or
service
station
for
he
is
familiar
with
the
autenna
needs
of
your
area.
The
BUILT-IN
FM
ANTENNA
(31)
lead
should
be
disconnected
when
adding
an
external
antenna.
FM
STEREO
-
The
addition
of
an
external
antenna
may
improve
the
quality
of
FM
STEREO
receiption,
particularly
in
fringe
areas.
Due
to
the
nature
of
FM
STEREO,
you
may
find
weak
signals
excessively
noisy.
If
this
is
the
case,
some
improvement
will
be
obtained
by
switching
from
FM
STEREO
to
FM.
8
TRACK
STEREO
TAPE
The
head
should
be
periodically
cleaned
with
a
special
cleaning
tape
cartridge
(available
in
music
and
hi-fi
stores)
to
remove
the
particles
of
brown
oxide
coating
from
the
tapes
that
collect
on
the
magnetic
head.
These
particles
fill
the
gap
in
the
head
and
degrade
the
performance.
Never
leave
an
8
track
cartridge
in
the
unit
when
it
is
not
in
operation.
This
will
cause
flat
spots
on
the
drive
wheel
or
stretch
the
tape,
causing
poor
performance.
