2Phones
Allows for the connection of stereo headphones with a ¼" Jack plug. Headphones with an impedance of between 32 and 600 ohms are recommended. When the headphones are connected, the loudspeaker relays are released switching off the output to the loudspeakers (speakers A and B).
This control gives the audio signal a more direct path to the power amplifier stage of your amplifier, bypassing the tone control circuits for the purest possible sound quality.
11Volume
Use to increase/decrease the level of the sound from the outputs of the amplifier. This control affects the level of the loudspeaker output, the
The Volume control is also used in navigating the 740A System Configure menus on the front panel display.

Please note that care should be taken when choosing speakers if two loudspeakers are going to be used on each channel. If the combined resistance measured on the loudspeaker terminals is too low the amplifier may not switch out of Standby mode until a suitable load resistance is detected. For more information refer to the CAP5 section of this manual.
Note: When using one pair of speakers, use speakers with a nominal impedance of between
