How To Make A Tape Recording

The separate RECORD and LISTEN switches allow you to

make a tape recording from one program source while lis-

tening to another. You can also listen (monitor) to the re-

corded signal off the tape, a fraction of a second later, dur-

ing recording when a three head tape recorder is used. Re-

fer to Figure 2

1. Select the desired program source to record with the

front panel RECORD selector switch.

2. If a signal processor is connected for use in the record

channels, press the Rec Proc push-button to select the

record processor.

3

Adjust the record level using the tape recorder volume

control.

4. To listen to the tape playback of the program source just

recorded, turn the LISTEN switch to the desired input.

5. Press the Rec Mon (Record Monitor) at any time to lis-

ten to the program signals that are being sent to the

Record Outputs.

NOTE: The MA6850 RECORD OUTPUTS are not affected by

the VOLUME or BALANCE controls. To listen to a

different program source while recording, turn the

LISTEN switch to the desired source. The recording

process will not be affected and will continue.

Speakers 1 and 2

With the optional SCR-3 Speaker Control Relay

connected, select either one of two pairs of loud-

speakers or both pairs at the same time.

Reset of Microprocessors

In the event that the controls of the MA6850 stop

functioning push the POWER switch OFF and wait

about two minutes, then push the POWER switch

ON followed by pushing the STANDBY/ON push

button. This will reset the MA6850 microproces-

sors and the Amplifier should be functioning nor-

mally.

NOTE: The above condition is usually caused by either

interruptions in AC power and/or major

changes in voltage.

The MA6850 Power Output meters are peak responding

and accurately indicate the actual wattage delivered to the

loudspeakers by responding to the combination of current

and voltage output. The power outputs for the meter scale

indications between the numerical markings (high-lighted

in gray) are shown below.
