LOUDNESS/BALANCE
(concentric controls)
LOUDNESS
The LOUDNESS control, (small center knob), provides
frequency response contoured to compensate for the
behavior of the human ear at lower listening levels. At
the fully counterclockwise position, the loudness contour
is electrically flat. As the control is turned clockwise,
selected frequencies increase in the correct proportion
for proper listening at softer volume levels. The
frequency balance is not affected by changes in the
volume control settings. First adjust the volume for the
desired listening level. Then adjust the LOUDNESS
control or the preferred compensation.
BALANCE
The BALANCE control, (large outer knob), adjusts the
volume of the channels relative to each other.
L, (left): Turning the control to the right accents the left
channel by reducing the volume of the right channel.
R, (right): Turning the control to the right accents by
right channel by reducing the volume in the left channel.
At the center detent position both channels are equal.
VOLUME
A precisian ganged VOLUME control is provided.
Left and right sections are electronically trimmed for
superior tracking over the operating range.
PUSHBUTTON SWITCHES
MUTE
Should you desire to silence the system briefly,
touch the MUTE button. A red indicator next to the
MUTE button will light, and the program will be silenced
at the MAIN, SWITCHED 1 and 2 outputs. Press the
button again to un-mute. The mute does not affect the
tape outputs.
MONO
The mono button adds the left and right program
signals together to provide a monophonic signal at the
MAIN, SWITCHED 1 and SWITCHED 2 OUTPUTS.
MONO does not affect the TAPE outputs.
POWER
The red button turns the C36 on. The panel will
illuminate to indicate the program source that has been
selected and special operating modes.
SPEAKER 1 AND 2
The SPEAKER 1 and 2 buttons switch on or off the
program signals at the SWITCHED 1 and 2 AUDIO
OUTPUT jacks on the C36 rear panel. When the
optional SCR3 speaker relay is being used with the C36,
the pairs of speakers connected to the relay terminals
1 and 2 will also be switched on or off. The LED
indicators will light to show which switched output has
been selected.
HEADPHONE JACK
The C36 has sufficient built-in power capability to
feed a low impedance dynamic headphone connected
to the HEADPHONE jack.
REAR PANEL INFORMATION

panel, AUDIO INPUTS, RECORD and LISTEN.
The AUDIO INPUTS are PHONO, AUX, CD 1, CD
2, TUNER, TAPE 1, TAPE 2, TAPE 3, and VIDEO.
