MONITOR function (analog sources only)
You can connect a cassette deck or graphic equalizer to the MONITOR
jacks of the receiver. If a graphic equalizer is connected, the MONITOR
key should be left in the on position. Alternately, if a cassette deck
equipped with a 3-head system is connected to the MONITOR jacks,
you will be able to monitor the just-recorded signal while making
recordings on the cassette deck. By switching the MONITOR key on
and off, you can compare the sound of the source signal and the just-
recorded signal. For more information, refer to the instruction manual of
the connected component.
