Philips N4450 - Connection Sockets

1.14, CUEING BUTTONS (5)
If you depress the cueing button (5) which corresponds to
the direction of the recording, the tape is positioned against
the playback head and the recording becomes audible.
This permits you to stop the tape at the correct point.
With button ““<] CUEING” the tape is pressed against the
left head system for tracks 1 and/or 3. However, cueing is
possible only when the relevant head system is operative:
for ““<(CUEING” the corresponding start key for tape
transport to the left (16) “<1 LEFT” should be illuminated
(dimly); for “CUEING >” the corresponding start key for
tape transport to the right (19) “RIGHT >” should be lit
(dimly). When the wrong start key for tape transport is
illuminated, briefly press the correct key, allow the tape
to start and immediately after this press the stop key (21).
The speed control (15) for fast winding can also be used
during cueing; this will make it easier for you to recognise
the sounds.
When using the cueing buttons while the tape is manually
turned, also press the pause key (18): the sound is then
better audible.
1.15. SPEED CONTROL FOR FAST WINDING (15)
With speed control (15) you can adjust the winding speed
during fast winding. Slide the speed control from “FAST”
to “MED” (medium) or “SLOW” if you want to reduce the
winding speed. The speed control springs back to position
“FAST” when released. This control can be used in com-
bination with, for example, the cueing buttons (5) or the
pre-selector ““AUTOSTOP” (3).
Note: This speed control should not be used during fast
winding with reels of different diameter. This may give rise
to looping, thus damaging the tape.
1.16. TIMER (39)
With the timer (39) you can start and stop the playback and
recording functions at preset times. The time can be set with
the knurled rings: first set the hours (left) and then the
minutes (right). The rings for setting the minutes for the
start and stop function are blocked in position 58. This
means that they cannot be turned from the 58th minute
to the 60th minute.
The timer is started when the recorder is switched on with
the mains switch (41).
The switching function of the timer is switched on by
pressing switch (40): the timer is then illuminated. The
switching function is made inoperative by pressing switch
(40) again: the timer light then extinguishes.
“TIME”: this section is the electrical clock on which the
correct time can be set. The clock is started when the re-
corder is switched on.
“START”: here, the starting time of recording or playback
can be set. Switch (40) should be depressed and the recorder
should be set to recording or playback. With the pause key
(18) the recorder should be set to the pause position, and
the key for the direction of tape transport (16 or 19) and,
if applicable, the record key (17) should also be illuminated.
The tape recorder and e.g. the tuner from which the re-
cording is to be made should remain switched on.
“STOP”: here, the time can be set at which recording or
playback should stop. The recorder remains switched on.
Note: The max. deviation when starting and stopping the
tape with the timer is + or —2 mins. Allowance should be
made for this when setting the start and stop time.
2. CONNECTION SOCKETS
The recorder is provided with two connection panels. Under
the roller shutter (23) at the front of the recorder four
connection sockets are located which, as a rule, will only be
used temporarily: two microphone sockets (24 and 25), a
headphone socket (27) and an additional socket for con-
nection of a tape recorder (26).
In the storage compartment at the rear of the recorder the
connection sockets are located which will usually remain
connected, e.g. socket for tuner (51) or loudspeaker en-
closures (44 and 45). The various connection sockets may be
divided into inputs, outputs and combined inputs and out-
puts.
The inputs can only be used for recording purposes or for
amplification: the sockets for microphones (24 and 25),
tuner (51), record player (47) and auxiliary equipment
(“AUX”, 48).
The outputs can be used for sound reproduction only:
sockets for monitor amplifier (46), headphones (26) and
loudspeaker enclosures (44 and 45).
The combined inputs/outputs can be used for recording and
amplification or for playing back: tape-recorder sockets
(26 and 50).
All sound sources may remain connected simultaneously.
2.1. INPUT SELECTOR (9)
With the input selector (9) you can select the input that you
wish to use for recording or reproducing via the amplifier
section. When playing back a tape with the recorder section,
the position of the input selector does not matter.
The following positions can be selected:
“TUN”: input for tuner (51)
“TAPE”: one of the two “TAPE” inputs (26 or 50) (re-
cording and playback). That input is used to which a
switched-on apparatus is connected. If the signal to be
recorded appears to be too weak, remove the plug from the
other “TAPE” socket.
“AUX”: auxiliary input (48)
“PHONE”: record player input (47).
Independently of the position of the input selector you can
make microphone recordings if a microphone is connected.
However, if you do not wish to make mixed recordings,
check that the other equipment connected to the recorder
is switched off or that the recording level control (30) is set
to 0”,
2.2. CONNECTION
Connection socket for a stereo or mono microphone
“MICRO ST L” (24)
(under shutter 23) for connection of:
a. a stereo microphone for stereo recordings “MICRO ST”.
In this case no microphone may be connected to socket (25).
Adjust the recording level with the two microphone recor-
ding level controls (28 and 29);
b. a mono microphone for the left channel in the case of
stereo recordings “MICRO L”;
c. a mono microphone for mono recordings.
When using a mono microphone, adjust the recording level
with the microphone recording level control (28).
