FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
My collection of equipment differs from the labels on the back of my Preamplifier Tuner, how can I hook
them up?
Your Pream plifier T uner provides 5 identic al sets of inputs - V1, V2, TV, DVD and CD. It is convenient to
connect com ponents as labeled on the back of your Preamplifier Tuner, but since all the inputs are identical, you
can connect any compatible sour c e to any set of inputs. For exam ple, you can connect a DAT player to V1 instead
of a VCR. You can program your Preamplif ier Tuner to display any 5 character nam e for any input (see SETUP -
SOURCE NAMES).
The sixth input, TAPE, is primarily intended for analog recorders such as a cassette deck, DAT or Mini
Disc. If you have a three-head cassette or reel-to- reel tape dec k you will prefer the TAPE input s ince it allows a full
tape monitor capability. Tape monitor allows you to listen to what is actually on the tape as you are recording it.
The Loudness control does not work at high volume settings. Is this normal?
Your Preamplifier Tuner’s Loudness control is designed to automatically shape the audio signal for
increased c larity and intelligibility during LOW VOLUME s ettings (below -15 dB). The control circ uit is designed to
gradually reduce its effec t on the audio signal as the volum e is increas ed. Loudness is c om pletely removed as the
level approaches 0 dB.
Can I connect a phonograph directly to my Preamplifier Tuner?
No, you will need a separate outboard phono preamplifier. The output of the phone preamp can then be
connected to any analog input on your Preamplifier Tuner. There are several high-quality outboard phono preamps
available such as the B&K Phono 10. Talk to the dealer where you purchased your Preamplifier Tuner.
