Adjust the Balance control to produce a natural
spread of sound across the space between the
speakers, with any monophonic sound (such as a
radio announcer's voice) appearing as a phantom
image centered midway between them.
7. TAPE 1 MONITOR.
The TAPE 1 MONITOR button lets you hear the
output signal from A tape deck or signal processor
connected to the Tape 1 jacks. This button is a "tog-
gle" switch: press to engage, press again to disen-
gage. When TAPE 1 MONITOR is disengaged you
hear the source chosen by the INPUT SELECTOR
buttons.
When TAPE 1 MONITOR is engaged, the source
selected by the Input Selector continues to be fed to
both sets of Tape Out jacks for recording or process-
ing, but the signal returning from the tape recorder (or
signal processor) is selected for listening.
TAPE 1 MONITOR has no effect on signals that
are being recorded. Selection of a signal for record-
ing is controlled only by the Input Selector.
Both Tape buttons allow you to listen to recorded
tapes. If you have a three-head audio recorder that
permits off-the-tape monitoring, then by engaging the
TAPE MONITOR buttons on both the preamplifier
and the recorder, you can hear the playback signal
from the tape whilst it is being recorded, to monitor its
quality.
With two-head audio recorders, HiFi VCRs, and
most digital recorders, the "monitor" signal heard
while recording is not from the tape but is merely the

signal passing through the recorder's electronics
(including its Recording Level controls). In this case
the TAPE 1 MONITOR allows you to check the
left/right balance of the signal as it is recorded.
NOTE: If Tape 1 or 2 is engaged with no tape deck
connected, or with a tape machine connected but not
running, you will hear only silence - regardless of the
settings of any other controls.
8. INPUT SELECTOR (TAPE 2, TUNER, AUX,
VIDEO , CD, PHONO).
These buttons select the input signal for the pream-
plifier. The selected input signal is also fed to both
TAPE OUT circuits for recording.
When TAPE 2 is selected, it is fed to the TAPE 1
circuit so that recordings may be copied.
If Tape 1 and 2 are disengaged, the selected input
signal is fed to the power amplifier and so to the loud-
speakers. When Tape 1 or 2 is engaged, the select-
ed input signal continues to be fed to the Tape Out
jacks for recording (or signal-processing), but the sig-
nal returning from the tape recorder (or processor) is
selected for listening.
9. VOLUME.
The Volume control adjusts the overall loudness
level of the sound. It has no effect on the level of the
signals fed to the TAPE OUT jacks for recording. The
Volume control is designed for accurate tracking of its
two channels, so that the stereo balance will not shift
noticeably as the loudness of the sound is varied.
