PLAYING TAPES 4-TRACK STEREOPHONIC PLAYBACK 1. Take a 4-track pre-recorded tape with side 1 of the tape (tracks 1 and 3) facing up, and place it on the SUPPLY REEL spindle (left side). 2. Place an empty reel on the TAKEUP spindle (right side). 3. Thread the tape onto the recorder. 4. Turn the power ON for the tape recorder AND the integrated receiver. 5. Place the FUNCTION SWITCH of your integrated receiver in the proper mode for tape playback. 6. Rotate the LEFT and RIGHT MONITOR VOLUME CONTROL (TD3 only) clockwise to the TAPE POSITION. 7. Adjust the LOUDNESS CONTROL for your integrated receiver to the desired listening level. 8. After the tape has been played, reverse and invert the reels to play the other side of the tape. 4-TRACK MONAURAL PLAYBACK The following playback procedure is recommended for a 4-track monophonic tape whose sequence of recording is: Track 1, Track 4, Track 3, and Track 2: 1. Place a 4-track monophonic prerecorded tape on the FEED REEL spindle (left) and thread the tape. 2. Select the desired tape speed. 3. Turn the power on for the recorder. 4. Rotate the "left monitor volume control" (TD3 only) clockwise to permit the playback of Tracks 1 and 4. 5. Place the FUNCTION SWITCH of your integrated receiver in the proper mode for tape playback. 6. As this is a monophonic tape recording, only one channel of your integrated receiver will be operative. However, should your receiver have provision for converting to full monophonic operation (both speakers operating), throw the appropriate switch for same to provide sound from both speakers. 7. Move the tape "function selector" to the RUN position to advance your tape for monophonic playback (Track 1). 8. DO NOT rewind the tape since Track 4 can be played by merely reversing and inverting the reels and repeating steps 3 through 8 above. 9. When the end of the tape has been reached, DO NOT rewind but REVERSE and INVERT the reels to playback Track 3. 10. Thread the tape onto your recorder. 11. Rotate the "RIGHT monitor volume control" (TD3 only) clockwise to about a 3 o'clock position. 12. Move the tape "function switch" to the RUN position. You will now hear Track 3 of your tape. 13. When the end of the tape has been reached, DO NOT REWIND the tape. 14. REVERSE and INVERT the reels to play Track 2. 4-Track Monaural Recording: To record monaural program information from an integrated receiver, please follow the steps outlined below: 1. Thread the tape onto the recorder. 2. Select the desired tape speed and reset the "tape counter" to zero. 3. Switch the "Function Selector switch" for the external, integrated receiver to the desired monaural program material that you wish to record. Example: PHONO MONO, FM MONO, AM, etc. 4. Depress and hold down the Left channel "record button" and, simultaneously, turn the tape "Function Selector" through the RUN position to the PAUSE position. 5. While the tape is held in place, adjust the "Left Record Level control" observing the corresponding "Level Meter" to attain the proper recording level, as explained in Step #8 covering "4-Track Stereophonic Recording". 6. When the proper recording level has been set, move the "selector switch" to the RUN position to put your tape in motion. 7. When you have completed recording the entire portion of the tape and the feed reel (left side) is now empty, place the "Function Selector" in the STOP position. DO NOT REWIND THE TAPE. 8. Remove the empty reel from the "feed reel" spindle. 9. Take the full reel of tape from the "takeup reel" spindle (right side). Turn it over and place it on the "feed reel" spindle (left side). 10. Now take the empty reel and place it on the "takeup reel" spindle (right side). 11. Thread the tape to the recorder. 12. Depress and hold down the LEFT channel "record button" while simultaneously turning the "function selector" to the RUN position to continue your recording. NOTE: It is not necessary to reset the "Record Level control" if you are continuing to record the same program material. 13. To record on the remaining two (2) tracks, simply repeat steps 7 through 11 above. 14. Depress and hold down the RIGHT channel "record button" while simultaneously turning the "tape function selector" through the RUN position to the PAUSE position. 15. Repeat Step #5, using the "RIGHT Record Level control" to set the proper recording level. 16. When the proper recording level has been set, move the "Sekctor Switch" to the RUN position to put your tape in motion. 17.
