To activate Speaker EQ:

1.Look at the specification for your speakers and check for the lowest frequency your speakers are able to reproduce.

2.Turn the Speaker EQ switch (FP15) to the frequency that is either at that frequency, or one notch above it.

There is no hard rule as to which way to set this, if indeed you feel it contributes to the sound of your system at all. A variety of conditions, including the type of speakers in use, the room acoustics and your personal listening preferences are all factors here. If you like the way the system sounds, choose the setting that works best for you.

To activate Speaker EQ:

nSet the Speaker EQ (FP15) switch to OFF.

Note: Be careful about using this circuit when the bass control is turned to its maximum boost. That is almost guaranteed to provide an undesirable result!

Adjusting Tone Controls

The RR 2150 offers front panel tone controls that may be adjusted to suit your listening taste. You may also take the tone controls out of the circuit completely for “flat” operation.

To adjust the Tone controls:

1.Press the Tone Off button (FP1) so that the button’s blue LED is off.

This activates the tone control circuitry.

2.Turn the Bass control knob (FP2) clockwise or counterclockwise.

You can adjust the bass cut or boost within a range of ± 6 dB. The center detent represents the setting where bass is neither added or removed.

3.Turn the Treble control knob (FP5) clockwise or counter- clockwise.

You can adjust the treble cut or boost within a range of ± 6 dB. The center detent represents the setting where treble is neither added or removed.

To disable the Tone controls:

nPress the Tone Off button (FP1)

The button’s blue LED will light to remind you that the tone controls are deactivated.

Balance Adjustment

The left/right balance of the RR 2150’s output may be adjusted by using the Balance Control.

To adjust the balance:

nTurn the Balance control knob (FP3) clockwise or counter- clockwise.

Turning the knob clockwise emphasizes the right speaker more. Turning the knob counterclockwise emphasizes the left speaker.

Operation

Using Headphones

You can use headphones for private listening without disturbing others or for critical listening. Be aware that the headphone experience is not the same as using speakers. Although some listeners prefer headphones, most prefer the loudspeaker experience better. It’s your choice.

To listen to the RR 2150 using headphones:

1.Plug in any pair of headphones using a standard 1/4 inch stereo headphone jack into the front panel input (F11).

For headphones used with portable devices, you may need a 3.5mm to 1/4 inch adaptor available at most electronics parts stores.

2.Use the headphone Level (FP12) control to the right of the headphone jack to set the sound level for the headphones.

3.Use the Balance (FP3), Bass (FP2) and Treble(FP5) controls to adjust the sound output of the headphones.

Note: The RR 2150’s volume control also affects headphone output. So, if you want a truly private headphone experience, turn the Speaker selector (FP14) off.

Recording

The RR 2150 allows you to send the signal from any input source to a record- ing device properly connected to the rear panel Tape jacks (RP13). Note that unlike many current audio products, the RR 2150 has a separate record output bus so that you may listen to one source (selected with the remote control or the front panel Source control) and record a different source. It is important to remember this, as you may be used to always having the source you are listening to being sent to the record output.

To record from a selected input source:

1.Prepare your recording device.

Follow the recommended procedure from the recorder manufacturer about input settings, levels etc.

2.Select the source you want to record by using the front panel Record selector (FP18).

3.Place the device in record mode to begin recording.

To monitor your recording:

nSet the Source selector (FP17) to your recording device.

Audio from your recording device will play through the RR 2150.

To listen to another source during recording:

nSet the Source selector (FP17) to the desired input source.

Audio from the selected source will play through the RR 2150. Audio to the recording will not be affected.
