Teac A-3300S - Special Recording Information and Procedures.19; Monophonic Recording

Special Recording Information and Procedures
Monophonic Recording
Monophonic recording is performed one track at a time,
using only the Left or Right channel as explained below.
The only advantage of monophonic recording is the increas¬
ed time available on the tape, which is doubled. If the
source is monophonic or if recording only one person speak¬
ing, you will enjoy this monophonic recording capability of
the TEAC 3300S.
Follow the Basic Recording Procedures (see pg. 8 ) with
these differences.
1. Connect the source to the Left Channel LINE IN jack
or L MIC.
2. Place the RECORD - MODE Switch L to the ON and
R to the OFF position.
3. R otate the Right channel control knobs for the MIC,
LINE, and OUTPUT Level Controls to the MIN position
(fully CCW).
4. W hen you begin recording, only the Left channel will be
recorded first (Track 1). At the conclusion of Side 1 on
the tape, interchange the reels. Follow the same pro¬
cedures to record the Left channels, this time on Track 4.
NOTE: When adjusting these frictron-coupled controls,
you must hold one of the knobs stationary while
rotating the other. Tape monitoring (MONITOR
Switch - TAPE) especially requires that the non-
recording channel be kept to MIN on the OUTPUT
control.
