To copy from tape deck 2 to 1, set INPUT SELECTOR switch to
“TAPE-2 » 1”.
e MONITORING THE RECORDING
A recording in progress can be monitored if a tape deck with
three individual heads for recording and playback is used. A
tape deck in which a common head is used for both recording
and playback cannot be used to monitor recording. Set the
TAPE SELECTOR switch to “1” or “2” to correspond to the
tape deck that is being used for the recording and set the TAPE
MONITOR switch to “ON”. Use the TAPE MONITOR switch to
switch between the recording monitor and the program
source.
CAUTION
Protective Circuit
This set is equipped with a high speed protctive circuit. This
circuit protects the internal circuitry from damage due to
large currents flowing when the speaker jacks are not
completely connected or when an output is generated by a
short circuit. This protective circuit’s operation cuts off the
output to the speakers. In such a case, be sure to turn the
power to the set off and check the connections to the
speakers. Then turn the power on again. After muting for
several seconds, the set will operate normally.
