Recording
You can record an input from another audio source or two sources at the same time. If you’ve been using
a tape recorder as an input source, it will already be connected to the 7 or 8 input sockets. If you haven’t,
first connect the tape’s output to the 7 or 8 input sockets.
Connecting to a Tape recorder to tape an audio source:
Use RCA connectors to the left and right pairs marked TAPE O/PS 1 or 2, or both.
Selecting the bus
Your amplifier has two input selection buses. The default bus is bus A and this is the one you would use to
choose your inputs in everyday operation. The advantage of having two buses is that it allows for two
tape recorders to tape (different inputs) simultaneously.
Bus A is permanently connected to the Tape 1 (1) output and Bus B is permanently connected to Tape 2
(2) output.
You can tape from any source to either of the tape recorder outputs and both outputs can be monitored.
For example: You can play a CD on Line 1 on Bus A and record this by connecting your tape recorder to
the Tape 1 (1) output. At the same time you can play a radio on Line 2 and connect another tape recorder
to the Tape 2 (2) output to record the radio. Simply switch between Bus A and Bus B to monitor either of
the sources. If you are recording an input on one Bus you can still listen to another input whilst recording
simply by selecting the other bus.
Note: In these examples we have used a tape recorder but you can use any recording device with a
phono input. Minidisc, CD/DVD recorders and PC soundcards are all normally compatible.
If you wish to record from one tape recorder to another then you will need to swap the tape recorder
outputs. Connect the first tape recorder to 7 IN and 2 OUT then the second to 8 IN and 1 OUT. Play the
tape on BUS A Tape 1 then record on the other tape recorder.
