(continued)Assigns record output connectors to the selected input. The rear panel offers two single-ended (RCA) stereo record output connectors that pass audio at fixed volume levels. When an input is assigned for the record output connectors, the input signal is sent to both the assigned main and record output connectors. The master volume, balance, and polarity controls do not affect record output levels.

Select the NONE setting to assign no record output connectors to the selected input. Select the #1 setting to assign the stereo record output connector labeled 1 to the selected input. Select the #2 setting to assign the stereo record output connector labeled 2 to the selected input. Select the BOTH setting to assign both record output connectors to the selected input.

CAUTION

IF THE ASSOCIATED COMPONENT OFFERS BOTH RECORD INPUT AND OUTPUT CONNECTORS, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO SET THE REC.OUT PARAMETER TO NONE TO PREVENT RECORD FEEDBACK LOOPS IN WHICH THE ASSOCIATED COMPONENT ATTEMPTS TO RECORD ITS OWN OUTPUT SIGNALS. THESE FEEDBACK LOOPS PRODUCE HIGH-LEVEL NOISE THAT MAY DAMAGE THE LOUDSPEAKERS AND/ OR OTHER ASSOCIATED COMPONENTS.

Note

If the associated component connected to the record output connectors is also connected to a separate ground (such as a VCR with a cable TV connection), it is recommended to set the Rec.Out parameter for all activated inputs to NONE unless a recording session is in progress. This helps prevent low-level electrical noise from degrading performance.

Teach IR Menu

Selecting Teach IR opens the menu shown in the top-left corner of the next page, which prompts the selection of the desired IR command. Selecting an IR command sends the associated infrared signal from the left side of the front panel display to a learning remote control, allowing Nº 320S IR commands to be sent from a learning remote control even if the Nº 320S remote control is not present.
