TAPE OUT Function
This feature simultaneously controls the routing of signals to the audio and video tape out jacks.
Pressing the TAPE OUT button once displays the TAPE OUT menu. The menu title “ TAPE OUT ” is
displayed. The INPUT NAMES shown in this figure are for example only and will most likely differ from the
users’ set up.
To route a signal to the appropriate TAPE OUT jack(s), press the TAPE OUT button, press button # 1. Use
the LEVEL UP/DOWN buttons to assign an audio source to the audio TAPE OUT jacks. Press button # 3 and
the LEVEL UP/DOWN buttons to assign a video input jack to the video TAPE OUT jacks.
This menu is dynamic. When the audio source is from an analog jack, the digital tape out jacks are disabled.
This is indicated on the VFD. When a digital input jack is selected as the source, it is routed to both the analog
and digital tape out jacks. When the main DACs are selected (default), this is indicated on the VFD. If the
optional tape out DAC is not installed, the option to select it (via button #
5 ) is not shown.
Button # 5 allows the user to select whether the signal on the analog TAPE OUT jacks will be derived from the
main output DACs or the optional tape out DAC (if installed), by displaying MAIN or TAPE on the display. If
the optional tape out DAC has not been installed, there will be no option to edit above button # 5. This setting
is only relevant if the analog tape out source is set to a digital input jack. All analog inputs are routed directly
to the
TAPE OUT jacks, without A/D to D/A conversion.
When routing is completed, press TAPE OUT to clear the video display. The MASTER VOLUME can be
controlled in this menu via the LEVEL LEFT / RIGHT buttons.
Please refer to page 50 for additional TAPE OUT features and options information.
CAUTION : It is not advisable to route a 5.1 source (DTS/AC-3) to the optional tape out DAC. This section
does not contain Dolby Digital or DTS decoding capabilities. Full scale noise will be output!
