Integra DTM-5.3 Instruction Manual

Using Tape 2 Monitor

Unless the component connected to the TAPE 2 connectors is used,
the

indicator in the main unit’s display should not

be lit; otherwise, the sound from other sources will not be heard.

If a 3-head tape deck is connected to the TAPE 2 connectors, you
can use the Tape 2 Monitor to monitor the recording.

Notes:

• Even when Tape 2 is not selected as the source (the

indicator is not lit), the source signal is still sent

to the TAPE 2 output.

• If you select a different input source while listening to the Tape

2 Monitor sound, the

indicator flashes for a few

seconds. However, the audio signal does not change.

Monitoring during recording

You can monitor the source signal through the speakers or
headphones when Tape 2 Monitor is turned off.

If the

indicator in the display is not lit, the sound

from the source should be audible. If a 3-head tape deck connected
to the TAPE 2 connectors is used for recording, press either the
Tape 2 button on the remote controller or the Tape 2 Monitor but-
ton on the main unit. “TAPE 2” will appear in the display for a few
seconds: the

indicator will light up and the sound

you just recorded will be audible.

To return to listening to the source sound, press either the Tape 2
button on the remote controller or the Tape 2 Monitor button on the
main unit. The

indicator turns off.

Using a graphic equalizer

1 Connect the graphic equalizer to the TAPE 2 connectors on

the rear panel of the DTM-5.3.

2 If a second tape deck is used, connect it to the tape deck con-

nectors on the graphic equalizer.

3 Press the Tape 2 button on the remote controller or the

Tape 2 Monitor button on the main unit.

The

indicator on the main unit’s display lights

up.

4 Follow the operating instructions for the graphic equalizer.

To record an equalized signal, use the tape deck connected to
the equalizer.
