OUTPUT LEVEL:

This lonely knob is the DC-5’sfinal Output knob or overall master. After the relative balance of the two channels has been set with

the channel MASTER controls, use this OUTPUT control to increase or decrease the listening volume. It is also the effects return level
		control, a point we thought you should know. This design element makes setting up a lot
		easier and gives you one less knob to deal with when interfacing to your favorite effects.
	RHYTHM ON ON	Optimum setting depends on the size of the room you wish to rock, but generally the DC-5
3		sounds best with a setting somewhere between 2 and 6 on the OUTPUT LEVEL control.

ON/STANDBY:

Perfect for set breaks... this toggle switch also serves an even more important purpose. In the STANDBY position the tubes are at idle so that during power up they may warm up before being put to use. Before Power is switched on make sure the Standby switch is in the STANDBY position. Wait at least 30 seconds and then switch the STANDBY to the “ON”

				RHYTHM	ON	ON	position. This prevents tube problems and increases their toneful life substantially.
