During mono recep- tion, it remains unlit. Tuning Meter This meter aids in pinpointing a station. The station, on either FM or AM band, is correctly tuned when the pointer has swung as far to the right as it will go. Power Switch Push to turn the power on; push again to tura the power off. Headphones Jack To monitor a tape or to enjoy late-night listening through a headset without disturbing others, plug into this jack. Your speakers are turned off when the headphones are plugged into. This jack will accept any standard phono plug, but dynamic stereo headphones (Sansui SS-2) are recommend: ed for use. Bass Control This control is used to boost or cut low-end response according to personal taste, speaker response and listening conditions. With the con trol in the mid-position the bass tones will sound exactly as recorded or broadcast. To emphasize the bass, turn it clockwise, To decrease the in tensity of the bass tones, turn it counterclockwise Treble Control Use in the same manner as the BASS control to boost or reduce high-end frequency response. Volume Control This control consists of two concentric knobs. The outer black ring affects the right channel, and the inner silver knob, the left. The pair can be used simultaneously or independently, as re: quired. Normally, the entire control rotates as one unit. If you wish to increase the overall sound level of both channels, simply turn the VOLUME control clockwise. If you want to balance the sound levels in the right and left channels in stereo mode, hold one of the knobs in place while adjusting the other. Mode Switch STEREO: The MODE switch in the STEREO position connects the left input to the left speak- er and the right input to the right speaker. To listen to an FM multiplex stereo program, stereo record or stereo tape, set this switch to STEREO, MONO: The MODE switch in the MONO posi- tion connects either right or left, or both inputs, to the speakers of both channels. Loudness Switch This switch provides the correct amount of bass and treble boost required to compensate for an apparent loss of bass and treble at low listening levels. Tuning Knob Turn this knob to select the desired FM or AM stations. Dial Scales The upper scale indicates FM and the lower AM. To select a desired station, turn the Tuning knob at the right of the dial. Selector Switch Select the desired program source with this switch. PHONO—Turn to this position to hear records being played on a phonograph connected to the PHONO input jacks on the rear. FM AUTO—To hear FM broadcasts. In this, position, the switch automatically selects the cor- rect mode, AM—To hear AM broadcasts. AUX—To hear a component connected to the AUX inputs on the rear. Tape Monitor Switch This switch enables you to compare a recorded tape with the original program. When itis turned ‘on, the tape being recorded is heard from the speakers. Monitoring is possible with 3-head tape recorders only. When you play back through the amplifier, it should be in the ON position as well. Tn all other cases, make sure it is in the OFF Position, OPERATION — SPEAKER CONNECTION —— RECORD PLAYING LOUDSPEAKERS Connection Connect a pair of speakers to the SPEAKERS ter- minals on the rear of the 200 in this manner: 1. Connect the speaker on your right (as viewed from the listening area) to the red terminal marked (+) RIGHT. 2, Connect the lead from the common terminal of the right channel speaker (marked — or C) to the black terminal marked (—) RIGHT. 3. Connect the left channel speaker to the red ter- ‘minal marked (+) LEFT. 4, Connect the lead from the common terminal of the left channel speaker to the black terminal marked (—) LEFT. To connect to the terminals of the 200: 1, Depress the colored terminal button. 2, Push the stripped end of the lead wire in the hole as illustrated. 3, Release the button, After connecting, make sure the wires are not shorted between the terminals, Ifshorted, the quick- acting fuse blows out and the amplifier becomes off If Speaker Polarities Are Not Matched... You have connected the speakers. You are anxious to hear dynamic stereo sound; you turn the receiv ex on, set it in the desired mode and wait. What you hear disappoints you, however. It is as ifsound is missing at both ends and in the center; you don’t sense the continuity between the right and left speakers. The strong feeling of direction unique to true stereo sound is lacking. The heaviness of bass sound may be absent, too. In a word, sound is not natural. If you experience such a phenomenon, itis because the polarities (+ and —) of the speakers are not matched with those of the receiver. The disappoint ing phenomenon described above is particularly conspicuous when the receiver is operating in the monophonic mode. If you suspect you have such trouble when hearing an FM monophonic broad: cast, for example, examine the speaker connections once. The unmatched polarities can be matched very simply by reversing the (+) and (—) connec: tions of either speaker. Once they are matched, two speakers reproducing a monophonic material will sound as if there were only one speaker in the center. Impedance of Speakers Speakers of any make with impedance of 4 to 160 may be hooked to the 200, with the following reservations: 1. Do not connect a pair of 402 speakers in para: lel to either right or left channel. 2, Do not connect more than one speaker of any impedance to either channel. 3. Do not connect speakers with other than speci fied impedance. Failure to observe any of the above cautions may cause the quick-acting fuses to blow oF distort the sound. RECORD PLAYER Connecting a Record Player A record player or turntable using 2 2~ 10mV magnetic cartridge with a built-in transformer is recommended for use with the 200. 1, Connect the left channel output of the player to the LEFT PHONO input on the rear of the ampli- fier 2. Connect the right channel output of the player to the RIGHT PHONO input. 3. Ifa monophonic player or turntable is used, it may be connected to either LEFT or RIGHT PHONO jack. NOTE: Although it is not recommended from a standpoint of tone quality, if a player with a crystal cartridge must be used, connect the output(s) of the player to the AUX jack(s) on the rear of the am- plifier Playing a Record NOTE: 1.

SHEARER TERNAL Rich CHANNEL, RIGHT SPEAKER LEFT SPEAKER OPERATION —— ANTENNA CONNECTION — RADIO RECEPTION ANTENNA CONNECTIONS The efficiency of antennas greatly affects the qual- ity of radio reception. To enjoy noise-free recep- tion, use antennas as deveribed below. Built-in AM Ferrite Bar Antenna A highly sensitive ferrite bar antenna is attached on the rear panel of the 200 to receive AM broad: casts, To use, pull it down and away from the receiver as shown on page 8. Except in weak signal areas remote from broadcast stations or inside fer- roconerete buildings, it should provide quality reception of those broadcasts. Outdoor AM Antenna In weak signal areas distant from broadcast stations or inside ferroconcrete buildings, the built-in ferrite bar antenna alone may fail to provide good recep- tion of AM broadcasts. If this is the case, connect the PVC wire accompanying the receiver to the antenna terminal marked AM-A on the rear panel, ‘Then run this wire outdoors and set it up as an antenna a little distance away from the buildings. For better results, ground the antenna terminal marked AM-G at the same time, As the sensitivity ‘of an outdoor antenna varies greatly with its posi tion, install it in the position which affords the best reception while actually listening to a broadcast. For reasons of safety, it should be outfitted with a light- ning arrester. FM Antennas In strong signal areas, the folded dipole antenna (supplied) is adequate for FM reception. Connect it to the antenna terminals marked 300 FM on the rear panel of the amplifier, then open it to a full “1”, and tack to a wall or ceiling where it allows the best signal reception. Inarea remote from broadcast stations or inside ferroconcrete buildings where signal intensity is low, the folded dipole antenna alone may not supply sufficient signal inputs. An exclusive outdoor anten- na for the FM band then becomes necessary just as for. Two types of outdoor FM antennas, 300 balanced and 75 unbalanced, are commercially available. The usual choice is the 3009 balanced type. On the receiver side, the feeder wire of this antenna is connected to the 3000 FM antenna terminals, Where the 759 unbalanced type is used and wired through a distributor, it is necessary to convert 759 to 300% by the use of @ 300-ohm converter. ‘The farther you live from broadcasting stations, the ‘greater difference the choice and positioning of an outdoor FM antenna makes in the quality of recep: tion. The properties of FM broadcast signals are such that merely extending the length of the anten- na does not increase sensitivity. What is more im- portant is its direction and height, which should be determined so as to afford the best reception while actually listening to a broadcast. EM Radio Reception To receive FM broadcasts: 1. Turn the SELECTOR to FM AUTO. 2, Set the MODE switch to STEREO. 3. Push the POWER switch on and the dial scales are illuminated in green. 4. Select the desired station on the FM tuning dial scale with the tuning knob, while watching the tuning meter. The station is correctly tuned when the tuning meter pointer swings to the right as far as it will go. The FM STEREO indicator auto- matically lights up when a stereo program is receiv- ed. During mono reception, it remains unlit. 5. In stereo mode, balance the sound levels in the right and left channels with the VOLUME knobs. 6. Operate all other controls and switches to suit taste and room acoustics. AM Radio Reception To receive AM broadcasts: 1. Turn the SELECTOR to AM. 2, Set the MODE switch to either MONO or STEREO position, 3. Push the POWER switch on and the dial scales z— are illuminated in green. tuning meter pointer. 4, Tune in the desired station by turning the 5.

SEE “SPEAKER CONNECTIONS” GROUNDING WALL OUTLET YO: PPER PLATE RIED UNDERGROUND OPERATION —— TAPE PLAYBACK —— TAPE RECORDING TAPE RECORDERS Tape recorders can be connected to record from, and playback through, the amplifier. But a tape deck cannot be used with the 200. For use with a tape recorder having its own playback preamplifier as well as separate recording and playback heads, the 200 can compare the recorded tape with the program source. Connecting a Tape Recorder with a DIN Connector Cable If the DIN connector cable is not yet connected to your tape recorder, insert the DIN connector at one of its ends into the DIN socket on the recorder first; then, insert the one on the other end into a similar socket marked TAPE RECORDER on the rear of the 200. The DIN connection system, based on the German DIN Standards and designed to sim- plify interconnections between the tape recorder and amplifier, enables tape recording, and playback merely by plugging a cable with 5-pin connectors into their respecitive sockets. Connecting a Tape Recorder with Pin Plug Cables If your tape recorder lacks the DIN socket and only has pin jacks, connect it to the 200 with two pairs of shielded cables having a pin plug on each end, as follows: To Record—Connect the right and left channel input jacks of the recorder to the RIGHT and LEFT ‘TAPE REC. jacks on the rear of the 200 with a pair of such cables. If the recorder is a monophon- ic one, it may be connected to either right or left jack. ‘To Play—Connect the right and left channel output jacks of the recorder to the RIGHT and LEFT ‘TAPE MON. jacks with another pair of such cables. Again use only one jack for a monophonic tape recorder. Tape Monitoring To record a tape and monitor the recorded tape almost simultaneously, the recorder must be con- nected by the use of pin plug cables. The DIN connectors do not allow such operation. NOTE: 1) The switches and controls on the receiver con- trol only the sound from the speakers. They do not affect the signals at the receiver's tape recording terminals, which are therefore recorded in a flat state, Thus, to monitor the recorded tape for the purpose of checking on the quality of recording, keep the various switches and controls on the receiver neutral (Rat). 2) Whenever possible, avoid recording from micro- phones placed in front of the speaker(s), as it will considerably impair the tone quality. Instead, feed the signals from the receiver's tape recording ter- minals direct into the input terminals of the record- er. 3) The machine referred to as a tape recorder in this section includes only that kind of tape recorder which contains a playback preamplifier. 4) Tape monitoring is possible only with a tape recorder having three heads (erase head, plus se- parate record and play heads). 5) Unless you are recording a tape and want to monitor it or playing back a recorded tape, be sure to keep the TAPE MONITOR switch in the OFF position. 6) A tape deck does not have a playback preampli- fier, and its output is delivered direct from its play: back head, So if you want to connect a tape deck to the 200, it is essential that you feed its output to a separate equalizer amplifier first before coupl- ing it to the receiver. In contrast, the output of a tape recorder or tape player has already been pas- sed through a playback preamplifier incorporating, such an amplifier, and should be connected direct to the TAPE MON. terminals on the 200's rear panel. To hear it, do not forget to set the TAPE MONITOR switch to its ON position. Recording with a Tape Recorder To record a tape on a tape recorder: 1, Set the SELECTOR to the desired program source (either PHONO, FM AUTO, AM or AUX). 2, Set the MODE switch to either STEREO or MONO, depending on the type of tape recorder used, 3. Make appropriate settings of controls and switches on the tape recorder. 4, Use other pertinent controls and switches on the receiver, as required. Playing a Recorded Tape To play back a recorded tape on a tape recorder: 1. Set the TAPE MONITOR switch to its ON Position. 2. Make appropriate settings of controls and switches on the tape recorder. 3. Use all other pertinent controls and switches on the receiver to suit taste and room acoustics. TAPE RECORDER INSERT THE POWER GORD PLUG OF THE TAPE RECORDER. QD WALL OUTLET TAPE RECORDER (DIN) LEFT CHANNEL $= aight CHANNEL igi MAINTENANCE How to Eliminate Unpleasant Noise on Broadcast Bands AM Band: If you live far from broadcast stations, in the mountains or in a valley where it is difficult for radio signals to reach, inside a ferroconerete build- ing, or in an area where a number of large ferro- concrete buildings are crowded together, your 200 as it i may fail to provide really clear, noise-free reception of AM broadcasts, This situation can be corrected to a great extent by connecting a PVC wire to the AM antenna terminal on the receiver's rear panel and spreading it along a wall or the ceil- ing of room. If this should fail to reduce noise suf ficiently or give you satisfactory sensitivity, and especially if you live inside a ferroconcrete building, erect an outdoor antenna a short distance away from the wall of the building, Further, some types of noise may be heard only at certain hours of the day or with only certain broadcast stations. This is usually due to the unique properties of AM broad- cast signals, and can often be remedied by ground- ing the receiver or reversing the inserted position of the power cord plug. FM Band: ‘The noise that you may hear with FM broadcasts is generally attributable to two causes. It may be caused by insufficient signal inputs into the antenna, or it may be produced by external electrical appli- ances. To eliminate or reduce such noise, follow these directions: 1) The antenna cannot receive sufficient signal in- puts if itis improperly positioned or if broadcast stations are very distant. If you are using the dipole feeder antenna which comes with the receiver as instreeted on page 7 under FM Antennas, try changing its position and see if you can obtain better sensitivity and reduce noise. 2) If the above measure fails to cat noise drastical- ly, try installing an indoor TV antenna for greater sensitivity, or, better yet, erect an exclusive FM antenna (or TV antenna) outdoors in the position which gives you the best reception. If one antenna is to be shared both for TV and FM radio recep- tions through the use of a splitter, make certain the TV reception is not affected. 3) Merely extending the length of the antenna or spreading it around many corners may sometimes increase noise. 4) With FM broadcasts, the transmitting condition of each station (such as the efficiency of the station’s ‘output antenna) has a great bearing upon the sen- sitivity. This may result in a situation where sta- tion A is received quite clearly, but station B is barely audible. Noise Persistent on All Bands: Other types of noise than those descrihed may be heard at certain hours of the day, especially in an area where a number of ferroconcrete buildings are crowded together. These are usually produced by electrical appliances in those buildings, and can be easily distinguished from the types of noise deseribed above because of their relationship with the hours, The situation can be corrected if itis an electrical appliance in your own house that is producing the noise. Simply attach a noise suppressor to that ap- pliance. Or attach it to the AC power source of the receiver itself EM Multiplex Separation ‘The FM multiplex separation has been pre-adjusted at the factory, but may be readjusted, if desired. To readjust, turn the separation control VR located in the chassis so that the desired separation is achieved with FM stereo broadcasts. Heat Dissipation Transistors being relatively sensitive to heat, care- ful consideration has been given in designing the 200 to the efficiency of heat dissipation from the rear panel, For this reason, it is strongly recom- mended not to place anything on top of the re- ceiver, encase it in a tightly closed box or operate it in direct sunlight. If either of these conditions cannot be avoided, take special care to increase the heat dissipation, or it may eventually lead to a breakdown. If Booming Noise is Heard When Playing a Record... Unpleasant booming hum or howling noise may be heard when playing a record or a recorded tape. This is almost invariably due to one of these reasons: 1) If the phonograph is placed directly on a speak- er enclosure or very close to it, the vibration of the speaker will be transmitted to the phonograph, re- sulting in a booming phenomenon called howling This can be easily corrected by separating the phonograph away from the phonograph or placing a thick cushion underneath the phonograph. 2) Booming noise is produced if the phonograph or tape recorder is connected with wires or cables other than shielded cables. 3) If neither of the above reasons applies, check the connections of various cable. Shielding wire and conductor of a shielded cable may be conversely soldered to a pin plug; the phonograph motor may not be grounded, or the grounding of its tonearm may be incomplete, In either case, unpleasant booming noise could result. Connection of Additional Components To connect such audio components as a tape re: corder or phonograph, be sure to use thick, shielded cables which distribute only a minimum capaci- tance. The use of ordinary lamp cord usually re- sults in picking up hum. ‘The length of such cable should not exceed 6 or 7 etree an eee feet. The longer they are, the more the high fre- quencies of the program is attenuated. To connect a monophonic component, use either the right or left channel terminal, whichever is easier to connect. Grounding Connect one end of a piece of PVC wire or enamel- ed wire to the antenna terminal marked G, attach a small copper plate or bar to the other end and bury it deep under the ground. Whenever an external antenna is attached to the receiver, the receiver should be grounded in this manner. Or also, it may be grounded by the use of the “GND” terminal. Attach a piece of PVC wire to it and bury it underground in the manner described above. This usually helpes to prevent the audio amplifier from picking up noise, and also consi bly cuts down noise on the broadcast bands. Power Handling Capacity of Speakers Most speaker specifications include @ maximum power rating. This rating, in watts, is not to be confused with required amplifier power. It is, rather, the maximun power which may be applied to the speaker for any length of time without actual- ly damaging it, Ifthe speaker with relatively small capacity is connected to the amplifier, it may be damaged at high listening levels. See MAINTENANCE AC Outlet One AC outlet is provided on the receiver's rear penel, and can be used like any other outlet for AC hhouse current. Plog a phonograph or tape recorder into this outlet for power supply. The outlet has a maximum capacity of 150VA, and is not controlled by the POWER switch on the re- ceiver's front panel. Voltage Selector Plug The Voltage Adjustor on the rear of the chassis enables you to operate the 200 at correct voltage in any areas. The voltage has been pre-adjusted at the factory, but can be easily readjusted as follows: STEP I Set arrow of main voltage selector plug to required voltage: 100, 110, 117, 127, 220, 230, 240 or 250 volts. STEP IL If numerals of voltage are printed in red, set arrow of adjacent sub V.S. plug to position marked red. If they ate printed in white, set arrow to position marked white, NOTE: The Voltage Adjustor can be used to elimi- nate the trouble caused by the considerable voltage fluctuation, In this case, it should be set to the peak voltage. Should the Power Fuse Blow.. If the receiver should fail to turn on and you think it is because the power fuse has blown, remove the power cord from its wall outlet, unserew and take out the fuse holder on the rear panel to see if it has blown. If it has, replace it with a 1A glass-tubed fuse. Using thin wire or a fuse of a different capaci- ty as a stop-gap measure is very dangerous and should be absolutely avoided. If the fuse has blown because of a trouble in the receiver, be sure to find and eliminate it frst before replacing the fuse. Should the new fuse blow when the POWER switch is pushed, it is very likely that the power amplifier circuit is at fault and it should be repaired. Should a Quick-acting Fuse Blow. ‘The expensive silicon power transistors in the 200 are safely protected by a pair of quick-acting fuses in the right and left channels. Should the output circuit be short-circuited (e.g, at speaker terminals) for some reasons or should an overcurrent from the input circuit flow into the power transistors, one or both of these quick-acting fuses will instantly blow and the sound will be cat off. If this happens, shut off the power supply immediately, discover and climinate the cause, then replace the blown fuses. Replacing Quick-acting Fuses If one or both quick-acting fuses should blow, re- place them with 1.0A quick-acting fuses (supplied). ‘Never use other kinds of fuse, or the silicon power transistors may be damaged in the future. Before replacing be sure to discover and eliminate the cause of the blowout.
