User manual MCINTOSH C34V

[. . . ] IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE TO PROTECT YOU AND THE MCINTOSH INSTRUMENT. BE SURE TO FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THEM. 1. Read all instructions - Read the safety and operating instructions before operating the instrument. Retain Instructions - Retain the safety and operating instructions for future reference. [. . . ] It will assist you in locating the controls and pushbuttons. The letters on the photographs refer to the paragraphs that follow. Before attempting to operate your C 34V Audio/Video Control Center, familiarize yourself with the controls and what they do. LISTEN AND RECORD SELECTOR SWITCHES The LISTEN Input selector switch is located at the upper left on the front panel. It is used to select the input for the LISTEN program line. The selected program source is fed to the MAIN output. The RECORD input selector switch is located at the lower left on the front panel. It is used to select the input for the RECORD program line. The selected program source is fed to the TAPE 1, TAPE 2, and TAPE 3 outputs. The RECORD and LISTEN switches operate totally independently of each other and without any interference. MODE SELECTOR The MODE SELECTOR allows you to identify each stereo channel, create monophonic program material, and direct program material to one channel or the other. The MODE SELECTOR operates only in the LISTEN program line. It controls the program in seven ways: L TO L&R: Connects the left input to both left and right output circuits. R TO L&R: Connects the right input to both left and right output circuits. STEREO REV: Connects the left input to the right output circuit and the right input to the left output circuit. STEREO: Connects the left input to the left output circuit and the right input to the right output circuit. Use the STEREO position for normal listening. MONO (L + R): Adds the left to the right input and connects the composite to both left and right output circuits. L + R TO L: Connects the left plus right program to the left output circuit only. L + R TO R: Connects the left plus right program to the right output circuit only. EQUALIZER FREQUENCY CONTROLS Each of five EQUALIZER FREQUENCY controls raises or lowers the amplitude of a band of frequencies centered on the frequency marked above the control. Both left and right channels are affected. The center, or flat position of the control has a detent for easy reference. [. . . ] An equalizer amplifier with unity gain follows. A pushbutton switch allows the 5 band equalizer controls to be switched from the Listen program line to the Record program line. This feature allows equalizing the record signal before it is fed to a recorder. The equalizer amplifier feeds to electronic interlock switching and then finally to the record output jacks. [. . . ]
