DAT can receive signals from de vice “Source”,
“B”, “C”, or “D” INPUTS de pend ing on where

on the back panel are used for a cassette
recorder, the recorder can receive signals from

“Source”, “A”, “B”, or “D” INPUTS depending
on where you position this knob. For example,
if the “C” RCA OUTPUTS on the back panel
are used for a MiniDisc recorder, the re-
corder can receive signals from stereo device
“Source”, “A”, “B”, or “D” INPUTS.
OUTPUT SELECT D: The SRM-80A’s “D”

vice “Source”, “A”, “B”, or “C” INPUTS.

allows you to select which device you will hear
