e Warm-up Meter
This meter is used to check the device’s warm-up condition.
The full sound quality of audio equipment can not be obtained immedi-
ately after the power supply is turned on. It is necessary to sufficiently
warm-up the device so that it can exhibit its full potential. After turning
the power supply on, as time passes the temperature of each part of
the device will become the same. At the same time, the electrolytic
condenser is also activated.
Shortly after the power supply is turned on, the meter needle rises, and
reaches approximately 2/3 of the meter range after approximately 30
minutes. At this stage, the warming-up is almost completed, and you
can enjoy listening to music with the full acoustic quality of the device.
The position of the meter needle immediately after the power supply is
turned on and during the warming-up, and the amount of time neces-
sary for the warming-up differ depending on the room temperature and
ventilation of the room in which the device is used.
r Volume Control Knob (VOLUME)
This knob adjusts the volume. Turning the knob to the right ( ), in-
creases the volume. The volume can also be turned up or down with
the remote control unit.
t Balance Control Knob (BALANCE)

some sources such as stereo broadcasts etc, and to change the output
level of the left or right channel. Note that, if the BALANCE knob is set

opposite side.
y Source Direct Switch (SOURCE DIRECT)
Pressing this switch causes the signal to be transmitted without pass-
ing through the balance and tone control circuitry, enabling you to fur-
ther enjoy high-grade sound.
(The sound can not be adjusted with the BALANCE, BASS and TREBLE
knobs.)
u Tone Control Knobs (TREBLE, BASS)
These knobs adjust the high and low frequency ranges. The strength of
