Musical Fidelity A1001 manual Tape Recording OFF Tape Monitoring, Preamp / Power AMP Links

USER INFORMATION

The tape machine's Tape/Line inputs go to the A1001's 'Tape Record' output.

To record, simply select the required source with the source selector buttons on the front panel. The selected source will now be sent to the 'Tape Record' outputs for recording by the attached tape machine.

You will also be able to hear the se- lected source through the loudspeakers. Note - you can adjust the listening level with the volume control without affecting the recording level.

TAPE RECORDING - OFF TAPE MONITORING

In conjunction with a 3-head cassette deck, off-tape monitoring allows the user to compare the recorded to original sound whilst a recording is made. First select the required source in the normal way and start recording, now the Tape/Source select but- ton on the left-hand side of the front panel can be used to switch between Source (the source signal) and Tape (the recorded sig- nal) allowing direct comparison. Note that the LED indicator lights when 'Tape' (the recorded signal) is selected. On some 3- head cassette decks there is an additional 'tape/source' switch on the cassette ma- chine itself which will need to be in the 'tape' position for the above to work - if you are in any doubt consult your tape machine's manual.

PREAMP / POWER AMP LINKS

The A1001's preamp and power amp stages are linked by means of gold plated bars fitted between the 'Preamp Output' and 'Power amp Input' sockets on the rear panel. By removing these links the preamp and power amp stages may be used sepa- rately. Alternatively a signal processor such as a surround-sound unit can then be connected between the preamp and power amp stages.

PREAMP OUTPUT

The A1001 has an additional active preamp output situated on the back panel. This provides extra flexibility for use in multi-room or surround-sound systems etc.

REMOTE CONTROL & MUTE

The A1001 is supplied with a remote control handset that can be used to select any input and increase or de- crease the volume by means of the motorised volume control. Additionally the remote handset has a 'Mute' button which when activated cuts off all outputs from the unit. In the 'mute' active state the red LED position indicator in the volume knob will turn off.

WARNING - heat

Because the A1001 is strongly biased into Class A operation it gives off heat through the slots in the lid.

Never put anything on top of your A1001.

Always ensure that the unit has adequate ventilation.
