Akai GX-630D Operator's Manual

SOUND MIXING
Independent line and microphone recording level controls
and input jacks enable signals from microphones and from
line sources to be blended and recorded simultaneously on
the tape.
Connect microphones to Microphone Jacks and connect
desired source to the Line Input Jacks. Follow recording
procedure, adjusting both Line and Microphone Input Level
Controls.
Line and Din mixing can also be accomplished. In this case, Din
input level is adjusted with Microphone Input Level Controls.
ABSENTEE RECORDING
By using an external timer together with Akai Remote
Control Unit RC-17, absentee recording can be accom-
plished with this machine. Connect Remote Control Unit to
Remote Control Jack and properly load a tape, avoiding
tape slack. Plug in AC Cord through the external timer.
Adjust input level following recording procedure and with
the Power Switch turned ON and the Remote Control Unit
REC and FWD Play Keys locked into recording mode
positions, set timer, following manufacturers instructions.
If timer is set to coincide with source timing, the GX-630 D
will automatically begin recording according to setting
This machine features Automatic Stop which is effected at the
end of the tape.
TAPE ERASING
Any signals previously recorded on the tape will be
automatically erased as a new recording is made. For
erasing only, thread the tape and set machine to recording
mode. No plugs should be connected to the input jacks and
the input level controls should be kept at minimum, For
quick and complete erasure, a bulk tape eraser is recom-
mended.
* Be sure to depress the proper Recording (Track Selector
Switeh(es)). If both switches are depressed, both the left and
right channels will be erased.
TAPE SPLICING AND EDITING
Cut the tape diagonally with an overlap so that the ends are
lined up. Cutting tape on the diagonal eliminates detection
of the splice in recording, Cover aligned ends with splicing
tape, exerting pressure to secure ends evenly. Trim off
excess splicing tape. Cutting into magnetic tape very
slightly will eliminate the possibility of a sticky splice.
Splicing using scissors requires skillful work.
For smooth and easy splicing, Akai Tape Splicer AS-3 is
highly recommended.
