Connecting

Your

Tape

Recorder:

Since

their

own

preamplifier,

it

is

not

to

plug

the

output

of

the

recorder

into

INPUT

jack.

This

might

cause

overloading

of

the

input

stage.

either

LEFT

or

RIGHT

the

input

of

your

monaural

tape

recorder

to

either

the

LEFT

or

RIGHT

TAPE

receptacle

located

on

the

rear

panel.

If

the

program

source

you

desire

to

record

is

plugged

into

the

left

preamplifier

channel,

use

the

LEFT

TAPE

OUT

jack

and

if

it

is

plugged

into

the

right

pre-

amplifier

channel,

use

the

RIGHT

TAPE

OUT

will

enable

you

to

make

a

recording

with

the

proper

recording

equalization

as

determined

by,

your

recorder,

while

simultaneously

monitoring

the

program

with

the

proper

tone

control,

contour

and

loudness

setting.
