Monitoring a
source
When recording, or in record-pause mode,
the source signal is always available for
monitoring through a connected amplifier
or through a pair of headphones plugged
into the PDR–609's phones jack. Even if

you're not recording, you can still
monitor—useful for cueing up for the
next recording and also for checking that
tracks are starting in the proper places
during automatic track numbering.
1 Start the source component
playing.
Make sure that the input selector is set to
the correct input.
