Muting Switch
The MUTING switch attenuates music by 20 db
over the Whole frequency range. It is used to
eliminate interstation tuning noise, to suppress
the back-ground noise heard when changing a
record, and to reduce the over-all sound level
temporarily while playing a record and others.

Balance Control
This control adjusts for equal sound from both
left and right channels to compensate for slight
imperfections in program material, variations in
speaker output, and the vagaries of room acous-
tics.

Loudness Control
Whenever the volume is decreased to a low lis-
tening level, the music will seem to lose much of
its bass and some of its treble. This effect is due
to the sensitivity of human hearing. When the
LOUDNESS switch is on, it provides the correct
amount of bass and treble boost required to com-
pensate for this change.
