Realistic 42-2105 - Tape Control Center Manual

INTRODUCTION

With this professionally designed Tape Control Center you can easily duplicate recordings onto up to 3 decks at one time. And if the decks are the 3-head type, you can monitor any one of the three signals without affecting the other deck(s) or the Receiver/ Amplifier. You can also dub from one deck to another — or mix signals via switching.
All functions are illustrated on the clearly labled panel, Connections are via standard RCA jacks.

CONNECTING THE UNIT

Make connections as illustrated (using shielded cable). The decks need not be open-reel type — they can be cassette or 8-track (or any combination of tape decks).

SWITCH FUNCTIONS

notice Front Panel graphics

The top row of switches determines the Input connection to the three Decks:

• When Up, the Deck(s) is connected to the Receiver/ Amplifier
• In the center position, the Deck(s) is not connected (off)
• In the Down position, the Deck(s) is connected to a Dubbing Buss

The lower row of switches determines the Output connection of the three Decks:

• When Up, the Deck(s) is connected to a Dubbing Buss
• In the center position, the Deck(s) is not connected (off)
• In the Down position, the Deck(s) is connected to the Output

The switch at the right has 2-positions and determines the signal being passed on to the Receiver/Amplifier for Monitor sound:

• In the Up position, the Receiver/ Amplifier will monitor output from the Dubbing Buss
• In the Down position, the Receiver/ Amplifier will monitor output from Decks 1, 2 and/or 3
