<NOTE>

If you connect a microphone to MIC IN jack 2/4, the signal is routed to channels 2 and 4 (although you can use the REC TRK switch to route the signal to any desired track).

Basic Playback Procedure

Let’s play back and listen to the recorded sound.

This procedure assumes different sounds have been recorded to tape on tracks 1 - 4.

*Before proceeding to the next step, reset the X-34 to its “initial settings.” (See page 9.) Make sure that the Track down indicator is turned off.
