Antennas

Good quality fm reception depends upon several factors, foremost

of which are adequate signal strength, minimum interference and

the sensitivity of the receiver. In distant suburbs or inside build-

ings, the signal strength is usually poor. Also high steel structures,

mountainous terrain, etc. cause audible" multipath" distortion that

is the equivalent of television ghosts. Multipath is particularly ob-

jectionable during stereophonic reception and reduces channel

separation.

In good reception areas, the ac power cord antenna or the sup-

plied ribbon antenna will work effectively. However, in the sub-

urbs or high interference locations it may be necessary to use a

good outdoor antenna, or even a rotatable directional antenna.

Installing an outdoor antenna

Install the antenna away frorn-busv highways to reduce the ef-

fects of car ignition noise.

While listening to an fm program, point the antenna in the direc-

tion that yields the best sound.

Keep the antenna lead-in wire as short as possible.

In some cases, multipath reception on two or more stations may

require that the antenna is pointed in different directions.

ef-

fective and relatively inexpensive solution to this problem is the

use of a remotely controlled rotating antenna.

An antenna which has high frontal sensitivity

rejects the reflected signals.

Connecting the fm antenna lead: The HP-319 power cord has an

fm line antenna which can be connected to the FM ANTENNA ter-

minal. If the ac power cord antenna does not perform well, remove

the power cord antenna lug from the FM ANTENNA terminal and

connect the ribbon antenna (supplied), or an outdoor fm antenna

using 300-ohm twin-lead to the FM ANTENNA terminals.

In some cases the unshielded 300-ohm twin-lead may act as an

omnidirectional antenna, picking up noise or unwanted signals

which cause interference. You should then use shielded 300-ohm

twin-lead.

Connecting the a-m antenna lead: The built-in ferrite bar antenna

will provide good a-m reception under most conditions. If recep-

tion is weak, connect a length of wire, 20-50 feet long, to the AM

ANTENNA terminal and extend it out of doors, keeping the greater

portion horizontal.

Speakers

Location: Proper speaker placement

very important for optimum

stereo reproduction.

e Place the speakers on a shelf or on the floor against a wall.

elf you must position the speakers off the floor, do not place them

higher than eye level.

e Heavy draperies and rugs minimize the multiple reflections of

high frequency sound which reduce the stereo effect.

e Proper distance between the right and left speakers is directly

related to the distance from the speakers to the listening areas. In

most cases, excellent results are obtained if the speakers are sep-

arated by an amount slightly more than the distance from the lis-

tening area to each speaker.

Experiment with different speaker placements and listening loca-

tions until you find the setup that pleases you.

The SS-310 speakers (supplied) can be mounted either in a verti-

calor horizontal position to match the room decor. The Sony

name plate can be turned to match either mounting.

Connection: Connect the SS-310 speakers to the SPEAKER con-

nectors marked A or B. Connect the right and left speakers to the

Rand L connectors respectively. Other matched high-quality 8-

ohm speakers can also be used.

The HP-319 can drive two speaker systems simultaneously or

independently. The second pair of speakers should be connected

to the remaining SPEAKER connectors. Each speaker system can

be turned on or off with the SPEAKER buttons on the front panel.

Tape Recorder

The HP-319 can be used with an external recorder for recording

and playing back. Refer to "OPERATION WITH AN EXTERNAL

TAPE RECORDER" on page 9.

SO Connection

To set up the four-channel SQ system, connect the Sony SQ adap-

tor (optional) to the HP-319 TAPE inputs and REC OUTputs. The

adaptor has provision for connecting a tape recorder when desired.

Ground Connection

To reduce hum it may be helpful to connect the GROUND terminal

to a convenient earth ground, such as a mounting screw of an ac

outlet cover plate, a cold water pipe or directly to the earth.

Power Connections

The power source for the HP-319 must be 120 V ac, 60 Hz.

Before plugging in the line cord, make sure the HP-319 POWER

switch is set to OFF/AUTO OFF. Then plug the HP-319 line cord

into the electrical outlet.

An UNSWITCHED outlet on the rear panel provides a convenient

source of up to 300 watts for another component. The front panel

POWER switch does not control the ac power to this outlet. The

power consumption of the equipment plugged into this outlet must

not exceed 300 watts.

Headphones

Insert any headphone of 8 ohms or more into the HEADPHONE

jack. For private listening, the speaker sound may be cut off by

releasing the SPEAKER buttons. Be sure to firmly insert the head-

phone plug into the jack to ensure hearing both channels.

Microphones

Insert the low-impedance microphones into the MICrophone jacks.

When using the microphones, the MONITOR and Function buttons

(FM, AM, PHONO, CASSETTE, TAPE) have no effect upon the re-

cording.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

LOCATION AND FUNCTION OF CONTROLS

Before attempting to operate your HP-319, take a few minutes to

learn the location and function of the controls and other parts men-

tioned in the operating instructions.

POWER switch

Turns the power on or off.

In the OFF/AUTO OFF position, the HP-319 turns on or off accord-

ing to the on-off condition of the turntable Operation lever.

VOLUME control

BALANCE control

Slide the lever upwards (LEFT) to decrease the right side sound

volume, downwards (RIGHT) to decrease the left side sound volume.

To establish stereo balance=, depress the MODE button to MONO

and adjust the lever for equal output from both speakers.

The feeling of direction and depth that stereophonic sound pro-

duces is greatly diminished if the levels of both channels are not

balanced. Balance variations with different program sources are

due to differences in recording levels. Stereo balance is also in-

fluenced by the acoustics of the room. Carpets, furniture place-

ment, and room size and shape have a definite effect upon sound

quality and balance.

TONE controls [BASS] [TREBLE]

These adjust the tone quality of the reproduced sound to your pre-

ference. Slide the levers upwards to increase the bass or treble

tone, downwards to decrease. A flat response is obtained at the

center position detent.

SPECIAL ADJUSTMENTS

The unit has been accurately preadjusted for correct stylus force,

anti-skating compensation, tonearm drop-point, and cueing height.

Should readjustment be necessary, turn off the power and proceed

as follows:

Stylus-force Adjustment

The stylus force is factory preset at 4 grams with the stylus force

adjustment knob (A). The stylus-force indicator (8) points to the

center position when the stylus force is set at 4 grams. You can

adjust the stylus force by turning the adjustment knob (A). Turn

the knob clockwise to reduce the stylus force; the stylus-force in-

dicator will move to the (-) side. To increase the stylus force, turn

the knob counterclockwise;

the

indicator will move to the

(+)

side.

Anti-skating Compensation

This control should always be set for the same or next lower value

as the stylus force. For example, if the stylus force is 4 grams, set

the Anti-skating compensator (E) to 4, or if the stylus force

grams, set the Anti-skating compensator to 2. This control is oper-

ated by rotating the knob so that the correct number is adjacent

to the indicator on the left hand. Settings are provided for 2,4 or

grams.

NOTE: Variation of the settings described above may be necessary

depending on the tracking. If the tonearm tends to skate outward

after adjustment, lower the setting; if it skates inward, increase the

setting.

Tonearm Drop-point Adjustment

The correct position for stylus set-down

IS 1/8

inch in from the re-

cord edge. Position adjustment should be made on a12-inch record

with the Drop-point adjustment screw (0). When properly adjusted

the stylus set-down will be correct for 7-inch and 10-inch records

as well.

Cueing-height Adjustment

The cueing height is correct when the stylus clears the top of five

records on the turntable by

1/8

inch. Raise the tonearm by turning

the Cueing-height adjustment screw (C) counterclcckwise, and

lower the tonearm by turning it clockwise. After this adjustment

is made, check that the tonearm clears the under side of a record

stack atop the spindle. Also, make sure that the tonearm rests on

the arm rest.

TROUBLE CHECKS

If trouble with the HP-319 arises, make the following simple checks

to determine if the trouble is in the HP-319 or external to it. Quite

often hi-fi equipment fails to work properly because of incorrectly-

made system connections. If the trouble persists after you have

made these checks, consult your Sony dealer for further instruc-

tions.
