TAPE 2

Use an RCA audio cable to connect the TX-8011’s TAPE 2 IN L/R jacks to the cassette recorder’s output jacks, and use another analog audio cable to connect the TX-8011’s TAPE 2 OUT L/R jacks to the cassette recorder’s input jacks, as shown.

Connecting your 3-head tape recorder to the TAPE 2 IN/OUT jacks, and pressing the [TAPE 2 MONITOR] button allows real-time monitoring while recording.

Tip:

•Alternatively, you could connect a graphic equalizer to the TAPE 2 IN/OUT jacks.

Connecting a Turntable

The TX-8011’s PHONO IN L/R jacks are for use with moving magnet (MM) type cartridges. Use an RCA audio cable to connect the TX-8011’s PHONO IN L/R jacks to the audio output jacks on your turntable, as shown.

Notes:

•If your turntable has a ground wire, connect it to the GND screw on the TX-8011. With some turntables, connecting the ground wire may cause hum, in which case it should be disconnected.

•If your turntable has a moving coil (MC) type car- tridge, you’ll need a commercially available MC head amp. Connect your turntable to the head amp, and connect the head amp to the TX-8011’s PHONO IN L/ R jacks.

•You can also use a phono equalizer to connect a turn- table with an MC-type cartridge. In this case, see the phono equalizer’s manual for details.
