standard known as “LP” using microgroove tech-
nology. In 1956 the Record Industry Association of
America (RIAA) established a new standard utilizing
the “LP” microgroove technology along with a two
part equalization standard for optimizing the sound
quality and extending the playback time of a record.
Part of the equalization occurs during the mastering
of the original recording. The other part occurs dur-
ing amplification of the audio signal from the Phono
Cartridge during playback of a recording. For records
made from 1956 to the present day the correct Equal-
ization Setting is RIAA. For LP Recordings made
before 1956 also try the “LP, NAB or AES”, Equalizer
Settings. For playback of 78 rpm speed discs (pre-
microgroove recordings) the 78 Equalizer setting may
be preferred. For 78 rpm speed discs made after 1956,
use the RIAA Equalization Setting. To change from
the default RIAA Equalization Setting, performing
the following Steps:
1. Select the desired PHONO Input Source.
2. Momentarily press the Front Panel INPUT Control
(TRIM) or the TRIM Push-button on the Remote
Control.
3. Rotate the Front Panel INPUT Control (TRIM)
