Description of each Sound Field Program

: Programmed to provide largest sound field effects when listening through headphones.

HALL: A mode suitable for playing live recording of pop or rock concerts with vocals. The expansion and reverberation of concert hall are provided even when the speakers are installed close to each other.

DISCO: Crisp bass and solid, powerful sound reproduces the atmosphere of a disco.

CHURCH: Long echo time reproduces rich reverberation in a church. Suitable for vocal music.

JAZZ CLUB: A very rich presence is reproduced together with a three-dimensional feeling where each musical instrument asserts itself in the front line.

Note

To playback the tape recorded with this unit applying the DSS effect, be sure to turn off the DSS function. If the DSS is activated also for playback, the reproduced sound will be unnatural.

DSS monitor function

When the DSS button is pressed with any cassette inserted in neither of the decks, “dSS” appears on the display in position of the tape counters of both decks.

If the amplifier has no REC OUT selector, select the source with the input selector and set the amplifier to the TAPE MONITOR mode.

•Adjust the output level with the REC LEVEL control so that the reproduced sound is not distorted. For details, see “Setting the recording level” on page 12.
