NOTE
Using confidence mode, it is possible to monitor some
tracks off-tape during recording while monitoring the
input source of others. However, as explained above, the
way in which the confidence mode is implemented
means that the off-tape signals are delayed by 240 milli-
seconds relative to the input source signals. Hence, the
off-tape and source signals will be out of sync, and we
suggest that if "mixed-mode" monitoring is to be carried
out, the same operator should not attempt to listen to
both off-tape and source monitor signals.
