Tips

•If ?/1 is pressed down, you can turn the amplifier on and off by pressing ?/1 on the remote.

•To listen through the headphones, connect the headphones to PHONES and set SPEAKERS to OFF.

•To listen directly to the input signal, press SOURCE DIRECT so that the indicator lights up. Since the circuits of TONE controls, BALANCE control, and LOUDNESS button are bypassed, you cannot adjust bass, treble, the balance, reinforce the bass and treble while listening to a source directly.

Note

Avoid high speaker output at which the sound is distorted. High-frequency distortion may damage the tweeters.

To receive the Enhanced Other Networks (EON) programmes(TA-FE570 only)

“Enhanced Other Networks (EON)” is one of the convenient RDS services. This allows the unit to automatically switch to a programme type of your choice when one starts in your broadcast area.

When your amplifier is connected to a Sony tuner with the EON CONTROL system, the amplifier switches to any EON programme that is broadcast in your EON area, and switches back to the last selected programme source when the programme ends.

1 Make sure that the amplifier and the tuner are connected through the EON CONTROL terminals (see page 6).

2 Press EON LINK so that the indicator lights up.

Whenever an EON programme starts on the radio frequency that your tuner is set to, you will receive it.

To cancel EON receptionPress EON LINK again so that the indicator goes off.

Notes

•If you select another programme source while receiving an EON programme, EON reception ends. However, as long as the EON LINK indicator lights up, you can receive EON programmes automatically.

•Make sure to cancel EON reception before starting to record since an EON programme may interfere with your recording.

•If you activate the Tape Monitor function (see page

9)while the EON LINK indicator is lit, the indicator goes off and you cannot receive EON programmes. If this happens, deactivate the Tape Monitor function so that the indicator lights up again.
