being set by the player or the decoder.
Note: The Tape Monitor takes the same setting as the source input. For
example, if the SELECTOR is on input #1 and #1 is set up in a SET mode,
when you engage the TAPE monitor it will also be in the SET mode, and the
VOLUME control will not change the sound level. Conversely, if input #2 is in
the VAR mode, then the TAPE monitor will also be in the VAR mode, and the
volume control will function.
Therefore, it is suggested that the input be
configured to VAR before recording and monitoring is started.
The SET mode may also be used with, for example, a CD player that has its
own volume control. In this way, the Phi’s volume control is bypassed. Some
audiophiles would consider this to be a “hot rod” mode.
