•In the PMA-2000IVR, the REC OUT signal and the speaker (headphone) signal are output via separate circuits so that knobs and switches related to the tone and volume have no effect what ever on the sound that is recorded. Also, since the recording function is selected by the REC OUT SELECTOR switch i, the free program source can be played through the speakers (or headphones) even during recording.
