(310-2025)                  Operation         ....... Faxback Doc. # 32993

BASIC OPERATION

Follow these steps to use the equalizer.

1.  Turn the receiver's volume control to its lowest setting.  Then, set
    the receiver's tone controls to their positions.

2.  Set the equalizer's slide controls to 0 dB (center positions).

3.  Be sure BYPASS is out.  If BYPASS is in, press BYPASS to release it.

4.  Press POWER to turn on the equalizer's power.  The POWER indicator
    lights.  Then turn on the receiver's power.

5.  Select the receiver's tape monitoring feature.

6.  Turn on the audio source's power.  Using the receiver's controls,
    select the audio source.

7.  If the audio source is a tape deck, press in the appropriate TAPE
    MONITOR button on the equalizer.  If the source is not a tape deck, be
    sure both of the equalizer's TAPE MONITOR buttons are out.

8.  Start the audio source, and adjust the receiver's volume.

9.  Adjust the equalizer's slide controls for the desired sound.  View the
    effect of the adjustments on the SPECTRUM DISPLAY.

    NOTE:  The display shows the sound levels from the audio source you
           are listening to.  For example, if you are dubbing from one
           tape deck to another but listening to the phonograph, the
           display shows the sound levels from the phonograph.


RECORDING

If you connect a tape deck to the equalizer , you can record from any
other audio source connected to your receiver.  If you connect two tape
decks, you can make two recordings at the same time, or you can dub (copy)
a tape by copying from one tape deck to the other.

Be sure you are familiar with the information in "Basic Operation" and the
instructions in your tape deck's owner's manual.  Then, read the following
information to learn how to set the equalizer for recording and dubbing.

NOTE:  If you record the sound equalization, we recommend you play it back
       without equalization.  If you turn on the IMX expander when you
       record, we recommend you turn off the IMX expander during playback.
       Otherwise, the sound might distort.

The sound you record and the sound you hear as you record depend on the
following settings.

BYPASS:  determines whether the signal passes through the equalizer
circuit.  If the BYPASS button is out, you can record the sound with
equalization.  If this button is in, you hear and record the sound without
equalization.

EQ RECORD:  determines whether the signal passes through the equalizer
circuit before you record it.  If the EQ RECORD button is in and the
BYPASS button out, you record the sound with equalization.  If the EQ
RECORD button is out, you record the sound without equalization,
regardless of the BYPASS setting.

TAPE MONITOR:  Each TAPE MONITOR button determines whether you hear the
corresponding tape deck's output.  If the TAPE MONITOR button is in, you
hear the tape deck's output.  If this button is out, you do not hear the
tape deck's output.

NOTES:  Do not press in both TAPE MONITOR buttons. Otherwise, you mute the
        sound from both tape decks.

        Some tape decks have a tape monitoring feature.  If you select
        your tape deck's tape monitoring feature, and you press in the
        equalizer's TAPE MONITOR button for the tape deck you are
        recording to, the sound you hear is the actual recording.

DUBBING:  The DUBBING buttons determine which tape deck you copy to and from.  When DUBBING 1  2 is in, you copy from Deck 1 to Deck 2.  When
DUBBING 2  1 is in, you copy from Deck 2 to Deck 1.

NOTE:  Do not press in both DUBBING buttons.  Otherwise, neither tape deck
       records the signal.

IMX EXPANDER:  IMX EXPANDER and EQ RECORD determine whether you record the
expanded sound.  With the EQ RECORD button in, you record the expanded
sound.  You hear the expanded sound if you monitor either tape deck.  IMX
EXPANDER light flashes.  If EQ RECORD is out and the IMX EXPANDER lights
up, you do not record the expanded sound.  However, you hear the expanded
sound, regardless of the audio source.

NOTE:  BYPASS has no effect on the IMX EXPANDER.
