Dubbing an Encoded Disc Onto a Tape in Non-Encoded Form
To record a dbx-encoded disc in non-encoded form onto
a tape for future playback without dbx processing:
Normally the cables from the RECORD OUTPUTS on
your preamplifier, amplifier or receiver are connected
directly to the RECORD INPUTS on the 128.
1. Connect the PLAY OUTPUTS of the 128 directly
to your tape recorder’s RECORD INPUTS.
2. Set the 128's front panel switches and controls
as shown.
3. Place your tape recorder in RECORD READY
(PAUSE) mode and start the disc. Adjust the recorder’s
input controls to approximately the same setting used for
normal recording. Then adjust the 128’s PLAY LEVEL
MATCH for maximum tape recorder OVU readings (about
—3 for cassette recorders).
4. Play the disc and record normally. Note that this
recording, because it is not dbx encoded, will have about
as much noise and distortion as any conventional,
non-dbx {| encoded recording.
