How To Make A Recording
Analog Audio Recording
The separate INPUT B (Record) and INPUT A (Listen)
Switches allow for the making of an Analog Audio Record-
ing from one program source while listening to another.
This allows for the listening (monitor) to the recorded signal
off the tape, a fraction of a second later, during recording
when a three head tape recorder is used. Refer to figure 58.
1. Select the desired Analog Audio Program Source to
record with the Front Panel INPUT B RECORD Con-
trol.
2. Adjust the record level using the Recorder Volume Con-
trol.
3. To listen to the signal going to the recorder from the
MX136, rotate the front panel INPUT A LISTEN Con-
trol to the same input as selected with the INPUT B
RECORD Control.
4. To listen to the tape playback of the program source just
recorded, rotate the INPUT A LISTEN Control to select
the Record/Play device.
Note: The MX136 record OUTPUTS are not affected by
the VOLUME, SURROUND or TRIM controls. To
listen to a different program source while
recording, rotate the INPUT A LISTEN Control to
the desired source. The recording process will not
be affected and will continue.
How To Make A Recording
Digital Audio Recording
The MX136 allows recording from any of the Digital Audio
Input Sources to an external Digital Recording Device. Re-
fer to figure 58.
Note: If an Optical Input Source is selected the digital signal
will be available at both Optical and Coaxial Digital
Outputs. Likewise the same will occur if a Coaxial
Input Source is selected, the Digital Signal will be
available at both Digital Outputs.
1. Select the desired Digital Audio Program Source to
record with the Front Panel INPUT A LISTEN Control.
2. Adjust the record level using the Recorder Volume Con-
trol, if present.
3. To listen to the playback of the Digital Program Source
just recorded, rotate the INPUT A LISTEN Control to
select the Record/Play device.
Note: The MX136 DIGITAL OUTPUTS are not affected by
the VOLUME, SURROUND or TRIM controls.
