CONTROLS: LOCATION AND FUNCTION
Tuning - is used to tune the Receiver to the desired AM,
or FM station, as indicated on the slide rule
tuning dial.
Stereo Indicator Light - lights up automatically when you are tuned to an
FM station that is broadcasting a stereo signal.
Selector Switch - determines the function of the receiver:
AM for tuning AM stations.
FM for tuning FM and FM Stereo stations.
PHONO for using your Record Changer/Turntable.
TAPE for using a Tape Deck.
TONE Control - adjusts the tonal response of both channels. In
the extreme counterclockwise position, the low or
bass tones are emphasized. In the extreme
clockwise position, the high or treble tones are
emphasized.
Adjust this control to suit your individual
preference; or leave in the center position for
"flat" or balanced tonal response.
BALANCE Control - determines the relative volume of the left and
right speakers. In the center position the volume
from both speakers will be the same. Adjust this
control for the most pleasing stereo sound.
Optimum adjustment will depend on room acoustics,
program material, listening position and personal
preference.
VOLUME On/Off Control - adjusts the loudness of the sound (controls both
Channels) and turns power "on" or "off". Power is
"off" when this control is set maximum
counterclockwise.
PHONES Jack - plug in stereo headphones for private listening.
When phones are plugged in, the speakers are
automatically disconnected. We suggest Radio

Headphones.
