Monitor selection

Locating tape to zero

Track selection

Record level adjustment (TRIM)

Overdubbing entails recording one or more additional tracks on the same tape, while listening to previously recorded tracks using TAPE CUE.

Leave the microphone connected to the channel 1 input. There is no need to repatch it to channel 2 to record on track 2. You can send any mixer input to any track of the recorder through the combination use of PAN and RECORD FUNCTION.

1.Set the channel 1 INPUT selection switch to the left (MIC/LINE) position.

2.Turn the channel 1 PAN control all the way to the right (R) position.

3.Bring the channel 1 fader to 7.

4.Bring the MASTER fader to 7.

5.Make sure the MONITOR SELECT LINE OUT switch is still in the MONO position.

6.Press the RTZ key, so the tape will rewind to the beginning of the track 1 recording.

7.Set the TRK 2 RECORD FUNCTION switch to its BUSS R position. The REC 2 indicator will start blinking in the meter.

8.Speak into the mic to check to see meter 2 move. If no level or too low a level is shown, continue to speak into the mic and slowly turn the channel 1 TRIM control to the right until the meter peaks at no more than +6.
