The KAV– 400xi has a discrete tape input and output. The tape
output is used to send an input signal from S-1, S-2, S-3, or B-1 to
a recording device or processor. You can use the tape feature in
three ways:
1. Use the tape button on the front panel or the tape key on the
remote (6) to playback pre-recorded tapes.
2. Use the tape input to compare the output signal of a three-
head analog tape recorder to the output signal of an audio
source, when making a recording. To activate this function,
select an audio source for recording using either the S-1, S-2,
S-3, or B-1 analog input buttons or keys (5). Press the tape
button on the front panel or tape key on the remote on the to
switch between the tape recorder output (red tape monitor LED
[7] illuminated) and the input source (red tape monitor LED not
illuminated).
3. Use the tape output to create a processor loop, when the
KAV– 400xi is connected to a graphic equalizer or other ancil-
lary equipment. To activate this function, connect the equip-
ment to the KAV– 400xi tape outputs (18) as described in the
equipment manufacturer’s manual. Press the tape button on
the front panel or tape key on the remote to switch between
the processor output (red tape monitor LED [7] illuminated)
and the input source (red tape monitor LED not illuminated).
When changing sources, lower the volume to off or mute the output. This
ensures that the next source played does not damage your system with
a high output transient.
