You can switch between stereo and AUX input using the input selector. For different output combinations, use the output selector. When it comes to the mono, mute, and PFL switches, the mono switch gives you a mono sound, the mute switch stops the sound output, and the PFL switch lets you preview the source. As for the AUX and headphone controllers, they help you adjust the levels of the AUX input and headphones respectively.

For maintenance, simply clean the surface with a soft, dry cloth regularly. Don't use any harsh chemicals as they may damage the powder - coated cabinet surface. With proper use and care, your Palmer Monicon L will serve you well for a long time.
