How To Make A Recording
Analog Audio Recording
The INPUT Selector Switch together with the Zone B Push-
button allows making a recording from one program source
while listening to another. You can also listen (monitor) to
the recorded signal off the tape, a fraction of a second later,
during recording when a three head tape recorder is used.
Refer to figure 58b.
1. Press the ZONE B Push-button. The LED above the
button will illuminate and the Front Panel Alphanu-
meric Display will indicate the current Record Source
and Zone B is OFF. Refer to figure 58a.
2. Rotate the INPUT Selector Switch until the desired In-
put has been selected. Refer to figure 58b.
Note: The INPUT Selector Switch will return to ZONE A
Input Selection about five seconds after the ZONE
B Push-button is pressed and the INPUT Selector
is no-longer being rotated.
3. Adjust the record level using the Recorder Volume Con-
trol.
4. To listen to the signal going to the recorder from the
MX120, rotate the front panel INPUT Selector Switch
to the same input as previously selected. To listen to the
tape playback of the program source just recorded, ro-
tate the INPUT Selector Switch to select the Record/
Play device.

Note: The MX120 record OUTPUTS are not affected by the
VOLUME, SURROUND or TRIM controls. To listen
to a different program source while recording, rotate
the INPUT Selector Switch to the desired source. The
recording process will not be affected and will
continue.
Digital Audio Recording
The MX120 allows recording from any of the Digital Audio
Input Sources to an external Digital Recording Device. Re-
fer to figure 58b.
Note: If an Optical Input Source is selected the digital signal
will be available at both Optical and Coaxial Digital
Outputs. Likewise the same will occur if a Coaxial
Input Source is selected, the Digital Signal will be
available at both Digital Outputs.
1. Select the desired Digital Audio Program Source to
record with the Front Panel INPUT Selector Switch.
2. Adjust the record level using the Recorder Volume Con-
trol, if present.
3. To listen to the playback of the Digital Program Source
just recorded, rotate the INPUT Selector Switch to se-
lect the Record/Play device.
Note: The MX120 DIGITAL OUTPUTS are not affected by
the VOLUME, SURROUND or TRIM controls.
