has independent heads for erasing, recording,
and playback), the just-recorded signals can be
monitored by depressing the TAPE MONITOR
switch (TAPE 1 or TAPE 2 for AM-52). The play-
back sound of the input source can be adjusted
with the VOLUME control of the amplifier, but it
will have no effect on the recording volume
level. To adjust the recording volume level, use
the tape deck’s REC LEVEL control.
