connectivity: analog and digital tape connections
The
TAPE OUT
put contains a copy of the audio signals routed to the
RIGHT
and
LEFT
front channel outputs, without applying volume control
or mute. Connect the recording input of an analog tape recorder to
TAPE OUT
if you want to record the signal of the
RIGHT
and
LEFT
front
channels.
caution when pressing the tape key/button during recording
If you listen to an analog stereo input, pressing the
tape
key/button
will route the
TAPE
input to the
ANALOG OUTPUT
s without changing
the signal going to
TAPE out
, allowing for example, the recorded
signal to be compared with the original whilst recording using a three-
head tape recorder (if its output is connected to
TAPE
).
In this instance the front display will show TAPE (name of analog input
routed to TAPE out), e.g.
TAPE(SAT)
. Pressing
tape
again will return to
the analog signal selected before
tape
was pressed the first time.
If however, you record the result of a digital audio input, e.g.
CD
, or
the
5.1 BYPASS
then you should not press the
tape
key/button whilst
recording, as this will route the
TAPE
input to the
ANALOG OUTPUT
s
and
TAPE OUT
, spoiling your recording. This behaviour will be shown
in the front display by the word
TAPE
. Pressing tape again will return
to the digital input/5.1 BYPASS selected before pressing
tape
the first
time.

analog tape output
digital (tape) output
The signal at
COAX OUT 2/RF
(if the optional AC-3 RF interface isn’t
installed- see page 10) and
OPTICAL OUT
is an unmodified copy of
the currently selected digital audio source, i.e. it is unaffected by the
volume control or processing mode.
The digital coaxial
COAX OUT
should normally be connected to
your digital recording device (such as a DAT or MD recorder).
It is not possible to route an analog source to the digital coaxial
outputs.
