Using Tape 2 Monitor
Unless the component connected to the TAPE 2 connectors is used,
the indicator in the main unit’s display should not
be lit; otherwise, the sound from other sources will not be heard.
If a 3-head tape deck is connected to the TAPE 2 connectors, you
can use the Tape 2 Monitor to monitor the recording.
Notes:
•Even when Tape 2 is not selected as the source (the
indicator is not lit), the source signal is still sent
to the TAPE 2 output.
• If you select a different input source while listening to the Tape
2 Monitor sound, the indicator flashes for a few
seconds. However, the audio signal does not change.
Monitoring during recording
You can monitor the source signal through the speakers or
headphones when Tape 2 Monitor is turned off.
If the indicator in the display is not lit, the sound
from the source should be audible. If a 3-head tape deck connected
to the TAPE 2 connectors is used for recording, press either the
Tape 2 button on the remote controller or the Tape 2 Monitor but-
ton on the main unit. “TAPE 2” will appear in the display for a few
seconds: the indicator will light up and the sound
you just recorded will be audible.
To return to listening to the source sound, press either the Tape 2
button on the remote controller or the Tape 2 Monitor button on the
main unit. The indicator turns off.
Using a graphic equalizer
1 Connect the graphic equalizer to the TAPE 2 connectors on
the rear panel of the DTM-5.3.
2 If a second tape deck is used, connect it to the tape deck con-
nectors on the graphic equalizer.
3Press the Tape 2 button on the remote controller or the
Tape 2 Monitor button on the main unit.
The indicator on the main unit’s display lights
up.
4Follow the operating instructions for the graphic equalizer.
To record an equalized signal, use the tape deck connected to
the equalizer.
