There are two ways of making a recording. The audible signal source can also be the recording source or a different source can be selected for recording.
REC=IN [23]
TUNER
This setting is selected before the amplifier leaves the factory. The display [15] shows the selected signal source, the volume control and balance settings. The audible signal source is also the recording source available on the outputs RECORD [51], TAPE 1[50], and TAPE 2 [49].
Note:
The outputs TAPE 1 [45] and TAPE 2 [44] are mutually interlocked.
If TAPE 1 is defined as the signal source, the record output TAPE 1 [50] is disabled in order to prevent feedback. However, the signal can be recorded via TAPE 2.
REC-OUT [19]
IN: TUNER REC:
IN: TUNER REC: PHONO
When you press REC-OUT [19] the content of the display [15] changes immediately.
The word IN: is followed by the currently audible signal source (e.g. TUNER). For the record output a signal source can now be selected following REC: (e.g. PHONO). As a result you will hear the signal source TUNER via the outputs SPEAKERS A [54], SPEAKERS B [55], PRE-AMP [53], and MONITOR [48], while the PHONO signal can be recorded via the outputs TAPE 1 [50], TAPE 2 [49], and RECORD [51].
MM

text_image
L PF 450 150 50 +Turntables equipped with a MM (moving magnet) cartridgesystem must be connected to the PHONO MM [40] input.
Correct matching of the PHONO input is essential for optimum reproduction of records. The input capacitance must, therefore, be adjusted to the cartridge system with the PF [41] switch located on the rear panel.
Exception:
When a REVOX B291 turntable is used, always select the 150 pF setting.
Matching procedure:

text_image
L R PF a60 SDFor cartridge systems Elac EMM 150 and Shure V15V the correct setting is 150 pF. The setting of other systems can be computed according to the example given below. The capacitance rating can be found in the technical specifications of the turntable and the phono cartridge system.
Example:
Nominal capacitance
| of phono cartridge: | 375 pF |
| Capacitance of turntable output (cable capacitance): | -225 pF |
| Correct setting: | 150 pF |
If the correct value cannot be set exactly, use the closest possible value. A lower setting causes accentuation of the (extreme) treble frequencies, a higher value causes losses in the (extreme) treble range.

Fault messages
<<<<, OVERLOADED !!!, BREAKDOWN!!!

text_image
meVboxThe volume is automatically decreased by 10 dB if the temperature of the output power stages becomes too high.
This process is indicated on the display [15] by the flashing symbol in place of the balance setting. The volume can be further decreased with the VOLUME keys, but not increased until the indication disappears.

After the output power stages have cooled off, the display [15] returns to the usual format, i.e. the signal source and the recording source, or the signal source, volume and balance settings are shown. The volume can now be increased as desired. However, the cause for the fault message (possibly insufficient ventilation) should be investigated.
OVERLOADED!!!


If the output power stages do not cool off after the <<< message has been displayed and their temperature continuous to increase, the fault message OVERLOADED !!! is shown on the display [15] and the speaker outputs are switched off.
After the output power stages have cooled off and the message has disappeared, the speakers can be switched on again by pressing the keys SPEAKERS A [35] and/or SPEAKERS B [37].
BREAKDOWN!!!


text_image
adVoxIn the event of severe overloading (e.g. manipulation of the connectors while the amplifier is switched on and the volume is all the way up), the speakers are muted. This fault is indicated by the message BREAKDOWN!!! on the display [15].
To remedy this fault, switch the amplifier off, check that all cables and connectors are firmly seated, and switch the amplifier back on after a reasonable pause.

Troubleshooting

text_image
netBoxBefore you suspect a fault in the amplifier, make sure that the unit is correctly installed and that it is being operated in accordance with these instructions.
Speakers are dead

Check the speaker connections.
Has the speaker group been switched on (with SPEAKERS A [35], SPEAKERS B [37], PRE-OUT [34])?
Has the power amplifier been SEPARATED from the preamplifier? Press the SEPARATED [21] key again.
Has any signal source been selected and switched on?

text_image
netboxInsufficient output power

Has the MAX VOLUME been inadvertently set too low? You can check this by reestablishing the factory setting (RESTORE NOMINAL?).

The amplifier cannot be operated

Your amplifier is controlled and monitored by a microprocessor. When line voltage is applied this microprocessor is automatically initialized.
Faults in the AC supply system and other faults can put the microprocessor into an undefined state. The amplifier can no longer be operated.
The microprocessor can be restarted by pressing the RESET button above the SEPARATED [21] key by means of a pointed object (bent open paper clip).
Since the circuit conditions of the audio paths cannot be monitored during the reinitialization process, the speakers should preferably be disconnected from the amplifier.
If the power plug is readily accessible, it is better to disconnect it from the AC outlet for approx. 15 seconds rather than actuating the RESET button.
During the initialization of the microprocessor certain segments of the display [15] may briefly light up. This is a normal process and does not damage the amplifier.
