your plug proceed as follows:
The Brown wire must be connected to the termi-
nal which is marked with the letter L or coloured
Red.
The Blue wire must be connected to the termi-
nal which is marked with the letter Nor coloured
Black.
Note:
This apparatus must be protected by a
3
amp Fuse if a 13 amp plug is used or if any
type of plug is used by a 5 amp Fuse either in
the plug or adapter or at the distribution board.
If in doubt consult a qualified electrician.
Connections

Loudspeaker enclosures, impedance

Stereo enclosures, connected to

are placed in front of

the listener.
'STEREO 2x2' enclosures, connected to the
sockets

behind and, respectively,
to the right and to the left of the listener.
Remark:
For reproduction through the 'STEREO
2x2' loudspeakers, as a consequence, two
stereo loudspeaker enclosures must be con-
nected. In case of 'STEREO 2x2' reproduction
all the enclosures connected should prefer-
ably be of the same specification.
MFB-enclosures
These enclosures should be connected to the
special MFB-socket
((3\
For 'STEREO 2x2' reproduction MFB-enclo-
sures can be used in combination with conven-
tional loudspeaker enclosures, in which case
the latter must be connected to the sockets
@
and
@.
Where the two types of enclosures
are used in combination, it is preferable to posi-
tion the MFB-enclosures in front of the liste-
ner.
Note:
Provided a pair of conventional enclo-
sures is connected to the sockets
@
and
@'
a second pair may, in addition be connected to
the sockets@ and

Where MFB-enclosures are used, the input
sensitivity control bn the box must be set ac-
cording to the type of enclosure, viz.:
• In the case of MFB's with a continuously
adjustable sensitivity control, the setting must
be "1 V".
• In the case of MFB's with a 3-position input
sensitivity switch the setting must be "PRE-
AMPLIFIER 1 V".

Positioning the loudspeaker enclosures
To obtain the optimum stereo effect, a certain
amount of care must be exercized in position-
ing the loudspeaker enclosures.
Since every room has its own acoustic cha-
racteristics, which are governed mainly by the
shape, size and furnishings of the room, it is
impossible to state here just where the enclo-
sures should be placed. The best positions can
be found only by trial and error. The following
notes should be of help to you.
• Try to keep the distance
between
the en-
closures about the same as the distance of each
to the listener.
• Bass response is accentuated if the enclo-
sures are situated in corners or on the floor.
If the response then is not desired, try to im-
prove matters by placing the enclosures some-
what higher, and farther from the corners.
• Reproduction of treble is adversely affected
if the enclosures are positioned behind furni-
ture, curtains etc.
• Keep the loudspeaker set-up as symmetrical
as possible. The effect of a certain asymmetry
can be offset by means of the stereo balance
control.
Aerials
FM-aerial
Transmissions from nearby FM-stations can
be received using a provisional wire aerial
(supplied), which should be connected to
socket
i@).
For best results, of course, particularly in the
case of FM-stereo reception, an external aerial
(75
Ohm) should be employed. Connect this
aerial to socket~.
AM-aerial
The built-in ferrite rod aerial will provide sa-
tisfactory reception of local stations with strong
signals.
If reception is too weak an AM-outdoor aerial
can be connected to socket
@.
If desired,
an earth lead can be connected to the other
pole of this socket.
Headphones
Stereo headphones, impedance
8-600
Ohm,
can be connected to socket
@.
Connecting the headphones cuts off the loud-
speakers.
Remark:
Listenina via headphones usually
asks for a higher setting of volume control ~
than when listening via the loudspeakers.
Therefore it is recommended to set this con-
trol to a lower setting before removing the
headphones plug.
Record player
A record player fitted with a magneto-dynamic
pick-up cartridge can be connected to socket

Recorders
Reel to reel or cassette recorders can be con-
nected, for recording and playback, to the
sockets

Tuner/amplifier
Amplifier section

G)
Dial illumination
lights up/goes out.
• Select playback of tuner, record player or re-
corder with source selector@.
• Adjust volume with

• Adjust balance with
0.
Balance is the re-
lative volume between the two stereo chan-
nels.
• Adjust bass with

• Adjust treble with

• Contour: switching on contour
Ii)
boosts
bass and treble tones at low listening levels.
Our ears have less sensitivity to low and high
frequencies at low listening levels and switch-
ing on contour compensates for this effect.
• High filter
CD
can be switched on to reduce
high frequency noise such as tape hiss, record
scratch, etc.
Remark:
Switch on contour and high filters
only when nece-ssary.
Tuner section
Tuning to AM-stations
• Set source selector@to 'LW' or 'MW'.
• Tune to the station desired with
@.
• Tuning is optimum when the pointer of indi-
cator @ shows maximum deflection.
Tuning to FM-stations.
General notes to be observed when tuning to
FM-stations.
• The reception quality of FM-stereo broad-
casts dependsto a large extent uponthestrength
of the signal provided by the aerial. If a strong
signal is being received and control
@
is
switched to the 'STEREO' mode, high quality,
low noise, stereo reception will result. Stereo
indicator will then light up.
If the signal is weak however the noise level
will increase and may spoil the programme
content. At a pre-determined level the s twill
automatically switch to the 'MONO' mode. The
noise level will then be reduced but the ster 0
effect will, of course, be lost. This function can
be performed manually by setting switch
Q
2)
to the 'MONO' mode.
In addition, the rotary part of the control can
be used to gradually alter the stereo separation.
In this way the noise level can be reduced to
an acceptable level without totally losing the
stereo effect.
• AFC (Automatic Frequency Control) can be
switched on by pressing key@.
Then, with AFC in operation, stable reception
is automatically assured.
Remark:
Preferably do not use AFC while tun-
ing. Also when, using AFC, this would lead to
undesired tuning to a stronger neightbouring
station.
• Tuning isoptimum when the pointer of indica-
tor@ shows maximum deflection.
FM-manual tuning
• Set source selector@to 'FM'.
• Then press key

• Tune to the station desired with knob

ing buttons @.
