Recording an audio source

The C31 allows listening to and recording from the same source, or listening to one source whilst 
recording another. The signal to be recorded is sent to both the 

TAPE

 and 

VCR

 output sockets.

Selecting the source for recording

The recording outputs can be configured in two ways:
1. to allow recording of the source being listened to;
2. to allow recording of a particular (specified) source, regardless of what is being listened to.

To record the source being listened to

, press the 

RECORD

 button 

2

 repeatedly until the display 

shows ‘Record source’. After a few seconds the display reverts to showing the volume level, and you are 
ready to record.
In this configuration, selecting a different input changes the source that is routed to the recording 
outputs.

To record one source whilst listening to another

, press 

RECORD

 again until the display shows 

‘Record’ followed by the name of an input (e.g., ‘Aux’, ‘CD’, ‘Tuner’, etc.). Now press the source-selector 
button on the front-panel for the source you wish to record. Your selection is shown on the display for a 
few seconds, after which the display reverts to showing the volume level. You are now ready to record. 
Pressing a different source-selection button changes the source that you are listening to, but does not 
alter the source that is routed to the recording outputs.

Tape-to-tape copying (dubbing)

You can perform tape dubbing from 

VCR

 to 

TAPE

, but not from 

TAPE

 to 

VCR

.

For example, to copy from a cassette recorder connected to the VCR socket to a cassette recorder 
connected to the 

TAPE 

socket, first use the 

RECORD 

button as explained above and select ‘Record VCR’. 

This routes the VCR signal to the 

TAPE 

output.

Listening using headphones

The headphone socket 

bl

 accepts headphones with an impedance rating between 8Ω and 2kΩ, 

fitted with a 6.5mm stereo jack plug. The pre-amp. outputs are muted when headphones are 
plugged in.
The headphone socket is always active, unless the volume has been muted.

Product configuration

The C31 has a configuration menu that allows various performance and behaviour aspects to be 
altered. This menu is described in detail on the next page. Buttons have been provided on the 
front-panel to allow direct access to the most important configuration menu items:

4

 

BALANCE

 - gives direct access to the “Balance” menu item.

5

 

DISPLAY

 - this changes the display brightness. There are three brightness levels to chose 

from: ‘on’, ‘dimmed’ and ‘off’. If the C31 is switched off while the display is set to ‘off’, the 
display will be set to ‘dimmed’ when the C31 is switched on again.

9

 

REF

 - this toggles the volume display mode between ‘Standard’, ‘Fine’, and ‘Reference’ (these are 

described on the next page. When the ‘Reference’ volume display is selected, the light above the 
Ref button is illuminated.

bk

 

TRIM

 - gives direct access to the “Trim” menu item.

   Did you know: the 

original 6.5mm (or 

1/4”) head-phone jack, 

dates from 1878 for use 

in manual telephone 

exchanges – making 

it possibly the oldest 

electrical connector 

standard on earth.
