USING THE C22 FRONT PANEL TAPE INPUT JACKS

Two tape machines can be used with the C22 Stereophonic Preamplifier. After you have connected your tape machine to the rear panel of the preamplifier someone may desire to bring i.n a portable machine to make a copy of one of your tapes or to listen to one of his tapes on your system. With the C22 you no longer have to unplug your permanent machine. The C22 is supplied with two cables. The cables have phone plugs on one end to plug into the front panel of the C22 and pin jacks on the other end to plug into any tape machine. (Adapters are available at any Hi-Fi retailer to permit pin plugs to con- nect with phone jacks.)

To listen to the portable or second tape machine plug the pin jack end of the two C22 cables, mentioned above, into the tape machine output. Connect the telephone plugs into the telephone jacks on the C22 front panel. The left jack supplies the left channel. The right jack supplies the right channel. Turn the INPUT SELECTOR switch to TAPE. When the TAPE JACK control is turned to the PLAYBACK position, the permanent tape machine output is discon-

nected from the rear panel. The portable tape machine is now connected and any program originating in this machine will be heard through the C22, and will also be available from the C22 TAPE OUTPUT to drive the permanent tape machine input . This feature allows you to copy a tape from the portable machine into your permanent machine, provided your permanent machine has its own recording preamplifier .

To record on the portable machine plug the two phono pin plugs of the two C22 cables into the input of the portable machine. Leave the telephone plugs connected to the C22 telephone jacks on the front panel. Operate the TAPE JACK switch to the RE - CORD position. The permanent tape machine will be reconnected. Now any program picked up by the INPUT SELECTOR switch will be available to drive the portable ma- chine. You can now make a copy on the portable machine of any tape played on the permanent machine. You can copy any other program source onto both tape machines at the same time.
