Monitoring A Source; Checking For Digital Copy Protection - Pioneer PDR-509 Operating Instructions Manual

Additional Recording Features

Monitoring a Source

If you have a set up like the figure below or like that on page 11, you can monitor the source without changing the input
function of the amplifier from the PDR–509 (you could also monitor through a pair of headphones connected to the
PDR–509's phones jack).
When recording, or in record-pause mode, the source signal is always available for monitoring from the analog outs of the
PDR–509. Even if you're not recording, you can still monitor—useful for cueing up a disc or tape for the next recording.
