This “off the tape” monitoring shows you the actual
quality of the recording. Any problems with the tape or
tape deck will also be revealed.
NOTE: When recording, it is desirable to make an in¬
itial, test recording from the source to establish
recording level settings. Once you have properly
set the MIC and or LINE Input Level Controls,
you should not change them during the actual
recording. If the recording level becomes too
high while recording, the Input Level should be
corrected and the recording begun again.
