For it is there that the basic concept of the equipment you have just acquired came into being-its appearance, its functions, its quality of performance, its convenience of use. Remember always that we want this equipment to give you the\t performance of which it is capable.

MIN, in the same manner as the Bass control. Both controls have NORMAL positions, and when they are set there, the Philharmonic will reproduce the entire frequency range exactly as transmitted or recorded. This is where the controls should generally be set, but since their use is chiefly a matter of taste, we suggest that you experiment to find the settings which suit you best. The controls vary treble and bass in both channels simultaneously.
by turning the'Philharmonic's Volume control all the way down, or set the Volume control anywhere you like for pleasant listening, using the tone controls, too, without any efiect on the recording. Recording volume is controlled only by the appropriate knob on the recorder itself. Auxiliory Sources A pair of auxiliary input jacks, labelled AUX, one for each channel, is located at the top of the rear chassis skirt.
AM Anfennq amplifier, and the second half as a local oscillator and mixer. The mixer produces the 10.7 megacycle intermediate frequency (IF) which is amplified by three IF stages. The final IF stage also behaves as a Iimiter, efiectively clipping ofi any spurious amplitude variations that may have afiected the FM signal, and thus providing the noise-free reception which contributes so much to the popularity of FM.
