Listening to Compact Discs (Via Analog Input)
Connect the analog output of the CD player to the CD (or TUNER or LINE)
input jacks on the rear panel. If the CD player has balanced outputs, it is
recommended to use balanced cables and connect them to the balanced LINE
INPUTS connectors.
For playback, perform the following steps
A Confirm that the VOLUME control is turned to minimum. Then switch on the
CD player and the amplifier.
Listening to Radio Broadcasts
Connect the output of the tuner to the TUNER (or CD or LINE) input jacks on
the rear panel. If the tuner has balanced outputs, it is recommended to use
balanced cables and connect them to the balanced LINE INPUTS.
Recording and Playback With a Recorder
Confirm that the inputs and outputs of the recorder are properly connected to
the RECORDER jacks on the rear panel of the E-213.

Playback
To hear the playback sound, set the RECORDER selector to the PLAY position
and start playback at the recorder.
✽ For playback only, a recorder may also be connected to any other line input
of the E-213.
Recording
For recording, perform the following steps.
A Select the desired program source with the INPUT SELECTOR and check
that it is reproduced properly over the loudspeakers.
B Set the RECORDER selector to "SOURCE". The signal of the selected
program source is now supplied at the recording outputs of the amplifier.
C Start the recorder. The sound heard over the loudspeakers is now recorded
on the recorder.
D The volume, attenuator, tone control, and compensator settings of the
amplifier do not affect the recording output. The volume can therefore be
turned all the way down if desired. The recording level must be adjusted
with the input controls of the recorder.
E By setting the RECORDER selector to the PLAY position during recording,
the actual sound as recorded on the tape can be monitored (when using a
three-head tape recorder).
Note
When the MONO button is set to ON (monophonic mode), the recording output
will also be monophonic.
Turned fully down (counterclockwise)

B Use the INPUT SELECTOR on the amplifier or on the remote commander
to select the "CD" position (or the position corresponding to the input in
use).
C Operate the CD player and adjust the desired listening level with the
VOLUME control.
D If desired, use the MONO button to check that the sound is centered between
the two speakers, and check the action of the tone controls, loudness
compensator, and attenuator.
Set the INPUT SELECTOR to the required position and perform the same
steps as described for CD playback. After tuning to the desired station, adjust
the listening level with the VOLUME control.
Tuner Recording While Power Is Off
While power to the E-213 is off, the signal from the TUNER inputs is always
connected to the RECORDER REC outputs, regardless of the INPUT
SELECTOR and the RECORDER selector settings. Therefore it is possible to
carry out unattended recording of the source connected to the tuner inputs
with a timer even without turning on the amplifier.
Note
Do not turn power to the E-213 on while unattended recording is in progress.
If you turn the E-213 on, the muting circuit will become active and the
recording output signal will be interrupted. Before turning power on, verify
that any recording that was carried out is completed.
