Using Tape Decks
Playback:
Three tape decks can be connected to this unit at
once. Depress the TAPE-1 selector switch [5] to
listen to the deck connected to the TAPE-1 termi-
nals. To listen to one of the decks connected to the
TAPE-2/3 terminals, first depress the TAPE-2/3
selector switch [5] then set the tape selector [13]
to the appropriate position.
Recording:
Set the recording source selectors [11] [12] to the
PHONO, CD, TUNER or LINE position depending on
which one is to be used as the program source, de-
press the RECORDING OUTPUT switch [9] to the
ON position and begin recording operations. If you
are recording on a 3-head tape deck, depress the in-
put selector switch [5] corresponding to the tape
deck in use to monitor the just-recorded signal. If
the input selector is in any other position, another
audio source can be heard while recording is in
progress.
Set the proper recording level using the controls on
the tape deck.
Tape-to-Tape Duplicating:
When two or three tape decks are connected at
once to this unit, it is possible to dub tapes from one
deck to another. To copy a pre-recorded tape per-
form the following procedure.
Tape decks connected to the TAPE input terminals
of this unit are represented in the chart below as
TAPE-1, TAPE-2 and TAPE-3.
TAPE-1=>TAPE-2 (or 3) | TAPE-2 (or 3)->TAPE-1
| REC SELECTOR [ij] i, 1P 2&3 as desired
REC SELECTOR [i as desired 2/31
TAPE SELECTOR [13 as desired ~ TAPE-2 (or 3)
RECORDING OUTPUT [3] ON ON
TAPE-1 set to: PLAY RECORD
TAPE-2 {or 3) set to: RECORD PLAY
If the tape deck used for copying is a three-head
deck, it is possible to monitor the just-recorded signal
ay ee
in the same way as when recording tapes from non-
tape sources by setting the input selector [5] (and
the tape selector [3] in the case of tape-2 or
tape-3) to the appropriate setting for the deck being
used for recording. To listen to a different source
while the tape is being dubbed, switch the input
selector to the desired setting.
Dubbing is not possible from tape deck-2 to tape
deck-3 or visa versa.
Note: When the TAPE-1 recording source selector
is set to 2/3 1 and the TAPE-2&3 recording
source selector is set to 1 2&3, dubbing is
possible only from tape deck 1 to tape decks
2 and 3.

the tape deck and equalizer to be used are con-
nected to the TAPE-2 and TAPE-3 terminals.
