Recording

want to record.

 

• You can connect your recorder to the

 

TAPE 1 or TAPE 2 OUT jacks.

Tape-to-tape Dubbing

By connecting a cassette recorder to the TAPE 2 OUT jacks, you can copy tapes from the cassette recorder that’s connected to the TAPE 1 IN jacks.

jacks.

 

 

Note:

• You cannot copy from TAPE 2 to TAPE 1.

Monitoring While Recording

Normally, the sound you hear while recording is the sound input to the TX-8011. If you have a 3-head tape recorder (i.e., separate erase, record, and play heads), you can monitor the sound that’s just been recorded onto tape while recording is in progress. This allows you to adjust the recording level on the 3-head tape recorder and hear the result immediately.
