Other Equipment - Harman Kardon 430 Owner's Manual

CONNECTING TAPE
EQUIPMENT
The 430 provides facilities for both the
recording and playback of tape programs
to and from open-reel, cassette, or eight-
track cartridge equipment. Using the
signal cables provided with your tape
deck or recorder, recordings can be
made by connecting the left and right
channel TAPE 1 receptacles (under the
bracket labeled OUTPUTS) on the rear
panel of the 430 to the corresponding
input receptacles of your tape equipment.
The 430 provides outputs for two
tape recorders.
If your open-reel or cassette equipment
offers true off-tape monitoring facilities,
the left and right channel output recep-
tacles of your tape equipment should be
connected to the corresponding TAPE
MONITOR receptacles under the bracket
labeled INPUTS. Most cassette recorders
and many open-reel units do not offer
true tape monitor capability. However,
the outputs of these machines may still
be connected to the TAPE MONITOR
receptacles of the 430. Tape equipment
capable of playback only, can be con-
nected to either the TAPE MONITOR or
AUX receptacles of the 430. The choice
here will be affected by your desire or
need to reserve the AUX inputs of the 430
for use as explained below.
The remaining SWITCHED AC OUTLET
on the rear of the 430 may be used to
provide power for your tape deck or
recorder. This outlet is "live" only when
the 430 is itself operating. If you wish, the
power switch of your tape equipment
may be left in the "on" position - power
to it would then be controlled by the
POWER SWITCH of the 430. If you use
this outlet, be sure the recorder's drive
system is disengaged before you switch
the 430 off.
OTHER EQUIPMENT
A pair of auxiliary inputs is available at
the rear of the 430 for the connection of
any "high level" output equipment. A
special tuner for long wave, marine,
aircraft, or citizen's bands, etc. may be
connected - or you may choose to
connect a second tape recorder or the
output of the audio section of a television
receiver. Any number of choices is avail-
able. Consult your dealer for information
as to what equipment is compatible with
the parameters of the AUX inputs of the
430. If you have not used the SWITCHED
AC OUTLET for a tape recorder, you can
use if for accessory equipment.
The connections to the rear panel of
the 430 are now complete. Insert its AC
power cord into a convenient wall outlet
and place the 430 in its final position in
your listening room.
