INTRODUCTION
Your
new
TEAC
2340/3340
has
been
manufactured
under
the
strictest
quality
control
procedures,
each
unit
has
been
thoroughly
checked
at
the
factory.
Should
any
damage
have
been
incurred
during
transit
or
should
you
have
any
doubts
as
to
its
performance,
contact
your
dealer
as
soon
as
possible.
Our
investigation
has
shown
that
approximately
40%
of
the
calls
for
service
immediately
after
purchase,
result
from
improper
operation
of
the
equipment.
Therefore
it
is
important
that
you
thoroughly
read
and
understand
this
manual
before
placing
the
unit
in
operation,
A
lack
of,
or
improper
cleaning
can
also
result
ina
degradation
of
performance.
Careful
observation
of
the
cleaning
and
servicing
hints
contained
in
this
mane
will
contribute
to
a
lengthened
trouble
free
unit
life,
In
this
manual
al?
2340/3340
control
designations
will
be
in
upper
case
letters,
‘exactly
as
they
appear
on
the
tape
deck,
External
amplifier
controls
will
be
in
lower
case
letters
and
may
not
correspond
to
those
on
your
amplifier.
Throughout
the
manual
you
will
see
repeated
references
to
"front"
and
“rear”
amplifiers.
These
terms
do
not
refer
to
location
of
the
amplifiers
but
to
the
normal
placement
of
the
four
microphones
used
for
true
4-channe}
recording.
The
usual
practice
is
to
have
two
microphones
placed
at
the
front
of
the
recording
Studio
and
two
more
at
the
rear.
When
installing
the
4-channel
playback
system,
speaker
placement
should
be
in
accordance
with
the
placement
of
the
microphones
during
recording.
Hence
"front"
and
"rear"
amplifiers.
The
front
amplifier
am-
plifies
the
signals
from
the
front,
left
and
right
tracks
(Tracks
#1
and
#3),
the
rear
amplifier
is
fed
with
the
signals
from
the
remaining
two
tracks
(Tracks
#2
and
#4).
When
playing
stereo
(2-channel
4-track)
tapes,
only
the
front
ampli-
fier
is
used
unless
your
system
incorporates
a
method
of
paralleling
the
amplifiers.
@ INSTALLATION SUGGESTIONS
Do
not
operate
this
unit
near
heating
appliances
or
on
top
of
an
amplifier
where
amplifier
heat
would
contribute
to
a
rise
in
temperature.
Do
not
place
the
unit
where
it
will
be
exposed
to
direct
summer
sunlight.
Temper-
ature
extremes
will
not
only
cause
degradation
of
sound
quality
but
will
