Bass and treble tone controls

These controls allow subtle adjustments to the tonal balance of the sound. In the central position these controls have no effect. These controls only modify the sound through your loudspeakers, they do not affect the signals sent through the Tape Out connections. With a well produced CD and a good system the tone controls are unnecessary and can be switched out. If the musical recording is of poor quality and/or the loudspeakers/surroundings are lacking it may be necessary to adjust the tone controls to compensate.

Volume

The Volume control increases/decreases the level of the sound from the outputs of the amplifier. This control affects the level of the Loudspeaker output and the headphone output. It does not affect the Tape Out Connections.

It is advisable to turn the Volume control fully anti-clockwise before switching the amplifier on.

Balance

This control allows you to adjust the relative output levels of the left and right channels. In the central position the output from each channel is equal. This control only modifies the sound through your loudspeakers, it does not affect the signals sent through the Tape Out connections.

Input selection push buttons

Push the appropriate input selection button to select the source component that you wish to listen to. The signal selected is also fed to the Tape Out sockets so that it may be recorded. The input should not be changed whilst recording, although the recorded signal can be checked using the tape input Tape monitor.

Tape monitor selection button

This control lets you listen to the output signal from a tape recorder or signal processor connected to the amplifier's Tape monitor sockets. When Tape monitor is selected, the source component chosen by the input selection push buttons continues to be routed to the Tape Out sockets for recording or processing.

Remote control operation/features
