6.1 For Users in a Hurry
Playback may be directly through the machine's amplifier stage. When
listening through headphones, the built-in loudspeakers of the SG 561
may be switched in or out of circuit, äs desired (see sec. 2.2). When
external loudspeakers are connected, the built-in Speakers may also
be switched in or out of circuit äs desired (see secs. 2.5 and 2.6).
Playback Procedure:
1. Load tape äs described in sec. 1.7 and turn Tape Speed Selec-
tor ® to the speed of the recording.
2. Set Mode Selector ® to mode of recording (see sec. 5.1, point 12).
3. Set Tape Transport Switch ® in START position.
4. For playback through the power stage of the SG 561, adjust the
volume of the two channels to desired level by means of Controls ®
and ® ; then adjust treble with Control ® and bass response with
Control © . When playback is to be through the Speakers of an
audio System, all of these adjustments should be made with the
amplifier controls of the System itself.

6.2 ForTrue Audio Enthusiasts

Playback quality depends chiefly upon the quality of the recording.
Neither the world's best amplifier nor the world's best loudspeakers can
correct wrong record level settings. In Stereo Operation, at least, the
built-in loudspeakers serve only monitoring purposes; yet considerably
better monitoring of a stereo recording is possible when Stereo head-
phones are used. Very weak playback of high frequencies suggests that
the tape head should be cleaned (see sec. 11).
In stationary Operation, playback will be through loudspeakers connect-
ed either to the 10-watt (per channel) power stage of the SG 561 or
to the amplifier of a hi-fi audio System. In case of the latter, give careful
attention to the remarks made in sec. 4 "Connecting the SG 561 to
the Amplifier of a Hi-Fi Sound System". All other Steps for setting up
the SG 561 for playback should be accomplished in the Order des-
cribed in sec. 6.1 above.
