time the dial will illuminate.

SELECTOR SWITCH

This switch will select the program source that will be reproduced by your
system.

In this position, all standard AM broadcasts are reproduced.

FM MONO

In this position, all FM broadcasts will be reproduced monaurally.  If the
stereo indicator illuminates, it is an indication that the station is
transmitting stereo broadcasts.

FM STEREO

In this position, your system is capable of reproducing FM stereo
broadcasts in stereo.  It will also reproduce monaural broadcasts
monaurally.

PH/TAPE

In this position, your system will reproduce either a tape or record
depending on the device that is being used.

VOLUME

Controls the loudness of the system, rotation in a clockwise direction
increases the loudness and rotation in a counter-clockwise direction
decreases the loudness.

BALANCE

This control is used to balance any differences in level from left to right
channel due to differences in program material or associated equipment.
Control should be set for approximately equal levels from your speakers.

BASS AND TREBLE

These controls increase or decrease the bass and treble tones and should
be set in accordance with listening preference, and room acoustics.

TUNING

This control allows selection of stations on either the AM or FM band.
Control should be set for optimum reproduction when listening to AM or FM.

AFC

This switch when depressed locks the signal of FM and FM stereo broadcasts.
It simplifies tuning when it is depressed before selecting a station.

PHONO INPUT

A stereo record changer with a high level cartridge (ceramic or crystal)
may be plugged into these jacks.

TAPE INPUT

A tape deck with playback preamps may be plugged into these jacks.

REC OUT

These jacks should be connected to the input jacks of your tape recorder.
This connection will allow you to make recordings of the program source
your system is reproducing.  The output level at these jacks is unaffected
by the front settings.

HEADPHONE JACK

When stereo headphones are connected to this jack, the speakers are
automatically shut off.  The operation is the same at outlined previously.

ANTENNA TERMINALS

The set comes equipped with built-in antenna for AM and an external "single
wire" type for FM.  FM "single wire" should be unwrapped and extended to
full length and located to give best reception.  These antennas will be
suitable for normal metropolitan use.  For more distant stations external
antennas may be used.

To connect an external antenna for improved FM reception, disconnect the
wire that is presently connected and connect the wires from the external
antenna.

For AM, all that is usually required is a long piece of wire connected to
the AM terminal.  This may improve reception; however, it may also increase
the noise level being picked up.
