Basic operation

Using the easy demagnetization function

Using the easy demagnetization function to demagnetize MC car-
tridges with iron cores and step-up transformers, for example, could
improve the sound quality by making it clearer and giving it greater
definition.
1
Set the impedance selection knob to DEMAG.
The load impedance is set to 0 Ω and both ends of the cartridge
are short-circuited.
2
Play a record.
The playback signal current goes through the cartridge and
demagnetizes it.
o Demagnetization takes about 30 seconds. Keep the record
playing for about 30 seconds.
o Playback sound is not output when the impedance selec-
tion knob is set to DEMAG.
3
Reset the impedance selection knob to its pre-
vious position.
Equalizer curve characteristics (time constant)
RIAA
3180 μs/318 μs/75 μs
Decca (DECCA LP)
1590 μs/318 μs/60 μs
Columbia (Columbia LP)
1590 μs/318 μs/100 μs
o There are a variety of opinions about equalizer curves.
o Try a different curve if the sound seems unnatural when using
the RIAA curve to play an old record, even a stereo LP.

Automatic power saving function

This unit has an automatic power saving function.
o This is set to on when shipped new from the factory.
When the automatic power saving function is on
The unit will enter standby* if no operation occurs for about
30 minutes.
Operating the unit when in standby will disable the automatic
power saving function and turn it on.
When the automatic power saving function is off
The unit will not enter standby automatically.
*Power consumption is 0.5 W or less when in standby.
Checking the setting
If automatic power saving is off, all the impedance indicators will
light momentarily when the unit is turned on.
Setting the automatic power saving function
Use the following procedure to turn the automatic power saving
function on and off.
While pressing the MEASURE button, set the STANDBY/ON switch to
ON. Continue pressing the MEASURE button until all the indicators
light (about three seconds).

Restoring default settings

While pressing the METER button, set the STANDBY/ON switch to
ON. Continue pressing the METER button until all the indicators light
(about three seconds).
