Using the TAPE-2 MONITOR function
Playing equipment connected to the TAPE-2 jacks
Playing equipment connected to the TAPE-2 jacks does not differ from playing equipment connected in other ways. See "Input source selection and
surround setup" on page 25.

from sources other than the TAPE-2 source cannot be heard from the speakers even if selected. To deactivate the TAPE-2 MONITOR function,
press the TAPE-2 MONITOR button again.
