To listen to the sound recorded on the
tape, press the MONITOR button to turn on
the TAPE indicator. (Fig. EJ )
Fig. EM and E show the MONITOR switch

Comparing the recorded sound with
the sound source
While recording, use this monitoring
function to check that there is no distortion
due to excessive level settings or sound
degradation due to head contamination.
