Monitoring during recording
If the tape recorder has separate heads for record and
playback, the program can he monitored at the same time as
the recording is being made. Two types of monitoring are
possible, one is the source test (A-test), the other is the tape
test (B-test). The source test is the program before going
onto tape and the tape test is the program after it has been
recorded on tape.
When tape recorders are connected to TAPE 1 and TAPE 2
sockets, the source and tape tests can be carried out on the
speakers or headphones on the receiver. For tape test,
depress the appropriate TAPE MON. button. For source test,
release the same button.
Adjust the sound level for the two tests so that when
you switch from one test to the other the level wall be
the same.
NOTE!
Do not depress both TAPE MON. buttons at the same time
because TAPE MON. 1 always takes precedence.
When a third tape recorder is in use for recording on TAPE 3
jack, all monitoring must, be carried out on the tape
recorders and the TAPE MON. buttons must both be
released. It is sometimes more convenient to carry out.
monitoring on the tape recorders anyway (using headphones)
because there you can watch the level meters and adjust the
input more easily.
WARNING!
Depressing the PREAMP REC button reduces the
amplification by 30 dB. Therefore be careful not to release the
button when playing at high volume. Otherwise you may
damage your speakers.
A note on adjusting the input level of the recorder
Some tapes require a higher input level than others. When
starting to use a new brand of tape, you should therefore make
a few recordings at different input level settings to find out
how high the input level can be before any audible distortion
occurs.
If you sample the loudest passages of the music when
adjusting the input level you will not have to readjust later on.
4 Channel use
The TAPE 1 and TAPE 2 sockets are also suitable for 4
channel use.
To play a 4 channel program a 4 channel decoder must be
connected with its input to the TAPE OUT sockets. The
front output signal from the decoder must be fed back to
the TAPE IN socket of the receiver and the rear output
signal to the auxiliary rear channel amplifier.
