ENGLISH

Each time the DSS MODE button is pressed, the DSS program changes in the following order and the corresponding indicator lights:

HALL DISCO CHURCH JAZZ

JAZZ CHURCH DISCO HALL

Description of each Sound Field Program

: Programmed to provide largest sound field effects when listening through headphones.

HALL : A mode suitable for playing live recording of pop or rock concerts with vocals. The expansion and reverberation of concert hall are provided even when the speakers are installed close to each other.

DISCO : Crisp bass and solid, powerful sound reproduces the atmosphere of a disco.

CHURCH: Long echo time reproduces rich reverberation in a church. Suitable for vocal music.

JAZZ : A very rich presence is reproduced together with a three-dimensional feeling where each musical instrument asserts itself in the front line.

Note

When playing back a tape recorded with this unit using the DSS effect, be sure to turn off the DSS function. If the DSS is activated for playback too, the reproduced sound will be unnatural.

DSS monitor function

When the DSS button is pressed with any cassette inserted in neither of the decks, “dSS” appears on the display in position of the tape counters of both decks.

In this state, DSS effect can be applied to the input signal to the LINE IN jacks from any other source than cassette decks. The sound with DSS effect is output to the LINE OUT jacks.

On the amplifier, select the source to apply the DSS effect with the REC OUT selector and set the input selector to the TAPE position.

If the amplifier has no REC OUT selector, select the source with the input selector and set the amplifier to the TAPE MONITOR mode.

Adjust the output level with the REC LEVEL control so that the reproduced sound is not distorted. For details, see “Setting the recording level” on page 12.
