TAPE MONITOR
To monitor while recording, the tape recorder must have
separate record and playback heads. The TAPE MONITOR
permits monitoring the quality of tape recordings made while
in the process of recording. When the TAPE MONITOR switch
is in the MONITOR position it will play the sound from the
tape as it passes the playback head, a moment after it is re-
corded. The recording process continues as usual. When the
TAPE MONITOR switch is in the NORMAL position the pro-
gram being recorded is heard.
