If any input is switched Off its name will no longer appear on the Front Panel Information Display when using the INPUT Control, nor is it accessible with the Remote Control. The Phono MC (Moving Coil) and MM (Moving Magnet) Input are designed for connection of a turntable only and thus non-reassignable. Only one Input may be assigned at a time to a Balanced (1 & 2) or Digital (1 thru 4) Connector. If an already assigned Balanced or Digital connector is to be reassigned to a different Input, the Input currently assigned to the connector first needs to be changed. It can be set to a RCA connector or to another available Balanced or Digital connector. 13 Reassign Source Inputs, con't 1.

The Setup Mode allows the activation of the Passthru Mode and the selection of the specified C11 Input Connector to be used for the Right and Left Front Channels. In the example below, the Right and Left Front Channels from the Audio/Video Control Center will be connected to the BALanced 2 Input Connectors on the C11. The Phono Input Connectors and Digital Input Connectors are not assignable as a Passthru Input.

Listen to the playback of the program source just recorded by selecting the Input Source connected to the recorder component output. Equalizer Controls The C11 Equalizer has eight Frequency Controls which will raise or lower by 12dB, the amplitude of the band of frequencies centered at the frequency marked above the controls. The center frequencies of these controls are at 25Hz, 50Hz, 100Hz, 200Hz, 400Hz, 1, 000Hz, 2, 500Hz and 10, 000Hz. [. . . ]
