Mystery switch

I have an old Audio Reflex receiver (Model AR-800) which has a 'DE. EMP' switch on the back: 75uS to the left and 25 uS to the right.  The 'u' actually has a preceding tail on it, so its probably a symbol. 
What does this do?
Also, it says on the back 'Do not use speakers less than 8 ohms'.  Is this as imperative as it sounds?

Thanks,

I thought it'd be like the wall switch that Steven Wright mentioned in one of his skits. He'd flip it on and off and nothing would happen. It did for over a week until someone called from out of state and asked him to stop it.

My mid 70’s Pioneer receiver also had switchable Dolby demphasis but that was a dead end
