Cycles among the three primary operational
modes
of the Nº380S:
monitor
(the source being listened to);
record select
(the source being provided to
the Record Outputs); and
balance
(the relative volumes of the Left and
Right channels). Confirmation of these operating modes is given by the
mode indicators
below the
alphanumeric display
. (See 3, above.)

activates circuitry which combines left and right input signals, and sends the
resulting monophonic signal to both left and right outputs. This circuit is
particularly useful when listening to older, monophonic source material,
since significant noise reduction is often realized by listening to mono re-
cordings in mono.
