Parasound Halo C1 Controller - Manual (Page 43)

Connecting Recorders
Recorders require two-way connections to the C 1, so that you can record from it as well as play
back through it. The C 1 has one pair of input and several sets of output jacks for recorder use.
There are other jacks available for playback.
The output jacks for audio recording are all unaffected by the volume, bass, and treble controls
and from changes of listening mode. You can adjust any of these listening parameters, even
while you record, without affecting the sound of the recording.
The Tape Monitor Rec/Out jacks and the separate Record output jacks receive the same signal
as the main zone. If you wish to listen to one signal in your main zone while recording another,
connect your recorder’s input to the Zone output jacks, whose program source can be selected
independently.
With the C 1, you can easily connect three recorders at once, even without using the Zone output:
for example, an analog tape deck on the Tape Monitor jacks, a VCR on the audio Record 1 and
video Record outputs, and a digital audio recorder connected to digital inputs and outputs and to
audio Record 2. If desired, a DVD recorder could be substituted for the digital audio deck, receiv-
ing video from the S-Video Record jack while the composite Record jack feeds the VCR.
Showing all of these possibilities in one diagram would produce something like a map of the
New York subway system. So the diagrams that follow show various possibilities by themselves.
