6 Azur integrated amplifier
Aux, CD, Tuner/DAB, DVD, AV/MD
These inputs are suitable for any 'line level' source equipment such as
CD players, DAB or FM/AM tuners etc.
Note: These inputs are for analog audio signals only. They should not be
connected to the digital output of a CD player or any other digital device.
Record Out
This socket can be connected to a tape deck or to the analog Record In
sockets on a MiniDisc or CD recorder.
Tape In
Connect to a tape deck or to the analog output sockets on a MiniDisc,
portable digital music player or CD recorder using an interconnect cable
from the recorder's Line Out sockets to the amplifier's Tape In sockets.
The Tape Input circuit of the amplifier is a "monitor" type, different from
the other 5 inputs. For the 5 normal inputs, the source selected for
listening to will be sent out of Rec Out for recording. The source currently
being listened to and (optionally) recorded is then shown on the front
panel by a corresponding blue LED.
However, when the Tape Mon Input is selected a second LED will
illuminate indicating that the Tape Monitor Input is now being listened to
with a different source being sent out of the Rec output for recording.
The recording source is shown by the first LED and can be changed by
pressing the other source buttons. To switch Tape Monitor off, simply
press the Tape Mon button again, toggling this function off.
This feature is most useful when using 3-head analog cassette decks
which allow the signal being recorded to be played back live off tape (via
a 3rd head) whilst it is simultaneously recorded. It is then possible by
toggling the Tape Monitor input on and off to compare directly in real
time the original and recorded signal so that adjustments to the
recording parameters of the tape machine can be made (consult the
manual of your 3-head analog cassette deck for full details).
