CUTS, COMPUTER USERS TAPE SYSTEM·
SECTION IV
Using these interconnect cables, connect the CUTS and re-
corders as shown in Figure 4-1.
When using two recorders you may read or write to both under
program control as well as read one tape while writing on the other.
If you intend to read one tape while writing on the other,
however, you may have to disconnect the "monitor" plug from the
write unit, with the need for disconnect being determined by the
recorder design.
The monitor disconnect must be made if the re-
corder provides a "monitor" output in the record mode.
(Panasonic
RQ-413S and RQ-309DS do, for example.)

NOTE 1
Recorders on which the "monitor" jack is
labeled MONITOR usually provide a monitor
output in the record mode.
If the jack
is labeled EAR or EARPHONE, the recorder
usually does not provide a monitor output
in the record mode.
NOTE 2
To determine if your recorder provides a
monitor output in the record mode, install
a blank tape, plug earphone into "monitor"
jack and microphone into microphone jack,
set recorder controls to record, and
speak into microphone while listening with
the earphone.
If you hear yourself through
the earphone, your recorder does provide a
monitor output in the record mode.

Tone Control
If your recorder has a Tone Control, set it at the top (high
end) of its range.
Tone controls usually have little effect, but it
is safer to obtain a fairly high frequency response by setting the
control as just described.
