Hafler IRIS manual Recording System, KEY 1 if

Recording

System

Any recording requires that you activate either the RECORD 1 jacks, the RECORD 2 jacks (or both) using the RECORD 1 or RECORD 2 switches on the panel.

As seen in the signal flow diagram, this makes any input selectable by the KEYS available to these outputs.

EXAMPLE: KEY-selecting TUNERwith RECORD 1 depressed will send both TUNER channels out the RECORD 1 jacks to the INPUTS of the tape deck.

The diagram also shows that if you have two decks you can select either as a PLAYER using the TAPE KEYS and send it to the other deck for recording.

EXAMPLE: Select deck 1 as PLAYER with TAPE KEY 1 and send to deck 2 through the RECORD 2 switch and jacks.

1OR: Select deck 2 as PLAYER with TAPE KEY 2 and send to deck 1 through the RECORD 1 switch and jacks.

CAUTION:
Engaging either RECORD switch on				IRlS	brings into action
special safety	logic	which you may		easily interpret as faulty
operation, until	you	understand	its put-pose:
1) IRIS refuses TAPE		KEY 1 if	RECORD 1		is engaged. Likewise

for TAPE KEY 2 and RECORD 2. These are potentially danger- ous sources of unexpected high-energy positive feedback loops, having been known to destroy more than a few loud- speakers.

2)These switches automatically restrict certain remote control actions, as explained later.

~Thus always leave these switches OUT, unless actually re- cording.
