will be output if the volume is set too high.

To output the sound of channel 1 [CH-1] 1

To output the sound of channel 2 ([CH-2]) 2, perform the procedure

below replacing [CH-1] with [CH-2].

1 Switch the [CD, PHONO] (input selector) switch b for

the [CH-1] 1.

Select the input source for [CH-1] from among the devices connected

Adjust [TRIM] so that the orange indicator lights at the point in the

track where the volume is loudest (the climax, etc.).

Be careful that the red indicator does not light, or the sound could be

distorted.

3 Move the [CH-1] 1 channel fader g to the back side.

The level of the sound output from the [CH-1] terminals is adjusted.
