5.2 For True Audio Enthusiasts
5.21 Connecting Input Sources
Sound source equipment should be connected äs described in secs. 2.1,
2.3 and 2.4, also giving consideration to the remarks found in sec. 4.
All of the input sources may remain connected during recording, but
controls for maximum record level of an input source connected to the
and © must always be kept just hardly open in the Iowest scale ränge,
check contact pin arrangement and input impedances to ascertain
whether better recording conditions might be achieved by connecting
the input source to the PHONO II socket ^ by means of a crossover
adapter (change pin 1 with pin 3, pin 4 with pin 5) obtainable at all
audio shops. Conversely, if Level Controls © and © must always be
kept at the top of the scale for an input source connected to the
PHONO II socket ^ , the crossover adapter may be used to connect
the input equipment to the RADIO/PHONO l socket ^ .
Consult your audio dealer if you are unable to find the proper arrange-
ment by yourself.

5.22 Power Supply

When connecting the SG 561 for the first time, particular attention
should be given to the remarks found in sec. 1.4 above. Never forget to
unplug the machine from the mains outlet before changing the fuse or
34
the voltage setting. The plug should also be removed from the mains
outlet before cleaning the housing with a moistened cloth. When tape
is properly loaded and the machine has been switched to a tape speed
setting, the lamps in the Record Level Meters should light up.
5.23 Making Record Level Test and Starting to Record
the record level without tape movement before starting to record. Once
the tape has been loaded äs described in sec. 1.7, the test can be pre-
pared for by pressing the Record Button ® and moving the Tape
Transport Switch ® from STOP to PAUSE.
Once these preliminaries have been completed, use Level Controls ©
and © (for input sources connected to the RADIO/PHONO l input 4; )
or Level Controls @ and © (for input sources connected to the
PHONO II input 3i ) to bring the pointer of the corresponding Level
Meter © or @ to register 0 dB at the loudest Programme passages
to be recorded.
Particular care should be taken in making this regulation, for setting
the record level too high (overloading - the pointer moves into the
red band) leads to distorted recordings and hence to shrill and distorted
Playback while setting the levels too Iow (under-recording - the pointer
always stays considerably below the 0 dB mark) will be reflected by
strong hiss during playback.
