Basic Playback Procedure
Let’s play back and listen to the recorded sound.
This procedure assumes different sounds have been recorded to tape on tracks 1 - 4.
* Before proceeding to the next step, reset the X-34 to its “initial settings.” (See page 9.)
Make sure that the Track down indicator is turned off.

3. Press the PLAY button to play back the tape.
The MON MIX indicator rights up.
4. Gradually turn the MON MIX/AUX knobs for
each channel to adjust the output of each track.
Adjust the PAN knobs for each channel to achieve
the proper stereo image.
12. When you finish recording, press the STOP
button to stop the tape transport and press the
REC TRK switch 1 repeatedly to deselect the
recording track.
The MON MIX indicator turns off, and the AUX

<NOTE>
If you connect a microphone to MIC IN jack 2/4, the signal
is routed to channels 2 and 4 (although you can use the
REC TRK switch to route the signal to any desired track).
5. Use the MONITOR knob to adjust the overall
monitor volume.
<Note>
If you monitor with headphones for several hours, do not
raise the MONITOR knob too high. Otherwise, you could
damage your hearing. Take a break occasionally to give
your ears a rest.
You can also use Track Down mode to play back the
recording. Refer to page 18 for more information.
