Monitoring a Source

If you have a set up like the figure below or like that on page 11, you can monitor the source without changing the input function of the amplifier from the PDR–509 (you could also monitor through a pair of headphones connected to the PDR–509's phones jack).

When recording, or in record-pause mode, the source signal is always available for monitoring from the analog outs of the PDR–509. Even if you're not recording, you can still monitor—useful for cueing up a disc or tape for the next recording.

If the source is digital, the display indicates the input (CD, MD, DCC, DAT, DVD,or ––––if the source is unknown). then the sampling rate (32K, 44K or 48K). If the source is copy protected, the message CAN NOT COPY appears (see below for more on this), otherwise the display shows MONI (monitoring). If the source is analog, the display just shows MONI.

The source signal is fed through the analog outs of the unit, allowing you to monitor.

3 To switch off monitoring, press MONITOR again.

Checking for Digital Copy Protection

Using the MONITOR button, you can also check whether or not a digital source is copy-protected with SCMS (Serial Copy Management System). SCMS allows you to make digital copies of original sources for your own use, but prevents further digital copies being made from the copy.
