Please
note: Tape
monitoring
during
recording
is not
possible,
because
the tape loop
of
the BEAT

has been
isolated
from the

path,
to
preserve
sound
quality.
For
tape monitoring,
use
headphones

Section
4.
The
BEAT
8-100 has an
intemal
security
circuit,
which monitors
the amplifier
and
protect
it against
all
kinds
of
faults.
However
we
must warn
against
short-circuit
of the outpulstage.

There
is no such
lhing
as absolute
reliabitity
or
protection
when
amplifiers
are
abused.
White the
amplifier
has
been
designed
to operate
normally
under
normal
conditions,
it
may not
be imprvious
to
gross
abuse.
There
is one
condition
which
must
athralns
be avoided:
This
condition
ls
called
RF detdetection
and
because
Densen
amplifiers
have such
an
extremely
wide bandwidth,
RF
Detection
will
almost certainly
cause
failure
of the
output
devices
if it occurs.
Damage to,
or failure
of
this equipment
due to
RF Detection
is considered
abuse,
and
is specifically
excluded from
the
Densen
warren$.
The
following
acts
cause
RF
Detection
and
MUST
BE AVOIDED:
1) Ccnneeting
the inpuis
or outputs
while the
amplifier
is ON.
2) Using
the'thumb
test".
lt is a
dangerous
habil
to connect
cables
to the
inputs,
touching
the other
end
of
the cable
whiie
the
amplifier is
ON.
This may
not only
cause
amplifier
failure
but
may deJtroy
your
loudspeakers
due
to the
high
power
surge
emitted
from
your
power
amplifier.
It is
essential
to follow the
procedure
of completely
hooking
up
your
system
before
turning
anything
on.
A
few
simple
precautions
will
cuntribute
is irouble

Densen
is not
responsible
for
damage
to speakers
or
other
components
due
to their
inability
to handle
the
amplifiers
output
or
any other
misuse.
