How To Make A Tape Recording
The separate INPUT B RECORD and INPUT A LISTEN
switches allow you to make a tape recording from one pro-
gram 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 re-
corder is used. Refer to figure 23.
1. Press the REC LOCK (Record Lock) pushbutton to
disable any Zone B sensors or keypads to avoid a Zone
B selection interfering with the recording process in
Zone A.
Note: If there is no Zone B connected in your system this step
can be omitted.
2. Select the desired program source to record with the
front panel INPUT B RECORD selector switch.
3. Adjust the record level using the tape recorder volume
control.
4. To monitor the tape during recording with a three head
tape recorder, or playback the tape just recorded, turn
the INPUT A LISTEN switch to select the recorder
used to make the tape.
Note: The MX132 RECORD OUTPUTS are not affected by
the VOLUME control. To listen to a different program
source while recording, turn the LISTEN switch to the
desired source. The recording process will not be
affected and will continue.
