1. Set the TAPE (MONITOR) selector to the position marked
1 > 2.
2. Set tape deck 1 in the playback mode and tape deck 2 in
the recording mode.

it is possible to monitor the sound to be recorded in tape
deck 2.
@ Tape duplication from tape deck 2 to tape deck 1:

SOME INFORMATION ON
PROTECTIVE CIRCUITS
1.
Sound
will
not
come
out
of
the
speaker
systems
for
about
two
seconds
after
switching
on
power.
During
this
period,
the
power
muting
circuit
will
be
operating
to
mute
turn-on
transients.
2.
Protection
circuit
for
excessively
high
input
signals:
If
the
volume
control
knob
is
set
near
maximum
and
excessively
high
input
signals
are
supplied,
the
relay
circuit
inside
will
temporarily
be
actuated
in
order
to
protect
the
amplifier
and
the
speaker
systems,
and
the
signals
will
be
cut
off.
In
cases
like
this,
set
the
volume
control
knob
to
a
lower
position
and
operation
will
then
return
to
normal.
3.
If
the
speaker
terminals
are
short-circuited
or
if
the
ventila-
tion
holes
in
the
top
of
the
chassis
are
blocked
and
the
amplifier
is
operated
for
a
prolonged
period
of
time,
the
temperature
inside
will
rise.
The
thermal
sensor
circuit
may
become
activated
and
interrupt
the
operation
of
the
amplifier.
However,
once
the
cause
of
the
trouble
_
is
removed
and
the
internal
temperature
falls,
normal
operation
will
be
restored
automatically.
This
does
not,
however,
indicate
that
anything
is
wrong
with
the
amplifier
itself,
