Tape Playback

Depress TAPE button. You
can now play tapes back
through the amplifier section
of your Beomaster 3400.

The STEREO, MATRIX and
MONO buttons may be used
as deschribed on page 2.

Making Tape Recordings

Set your Beomaster 3400 to
the program you want to
record on tape: FM, P1 to P5,
or PHONO.

You do not have to depress
the TAPE button, and it is im-
material whether STEREO
and MATRIX are depressed
or released.

Depressing the MONO but-
ton will cause a stereo pro-
gram to become a mono re-
cording on the tape.

SQ records, too, can be
taped as follows: Play them
on a stereo records player
while recording them on a
stereo tape recorder. Only
while the tape is being played
back must the MATRIX but-
ton be depressed.

Oll-the-tape Monitoring

Depress the TAPE button and
also depress the desired pro-
gram button: FM, P1 to P5,
or PHONO.

TAPE FRONT

Simultaneous Playback on
Two Stereo Tape Recorders

Two stereo tape recorders
may be connected at the
FRONT and REAR sockets at
the same time. This enables
simultaneous listening to
two stereo programs in two
rooms.

The STEREO button must be
in upper position.

TAPE RECORDER,
4-CHANNEL

The REAR socket is forthe
two rear channels. A 4-chan-
nel tape recorder must be
connected at both the
FRONT and REAR sockets.
Since no international stan-
dardisation for cables for 4-
channel equipment has yet
been provided, you will prob-
bly have to have your dealer
make a special set of cables
forthis purpose.

The relevant socket connec-
tions are shown in the
sketch.

L, leftchannel,

R, right channel.

FlEC, recording on tape.
PB, tape playback.

A-channel otf-thetape moni-
toring is possible too if your
tape recorder has this facili-

ty.

Tape Playback, 4-Channel

Depress Tape button but
leave STEREO, MATRIX and
MONO released.

Making Tape Recordings,
4-Channel

Put a program with four sepa-
rate channels, say a 60-4 re-
cord, on a record player con-
nected to your Beomaster
3400. The record player must
be equipped with a CD-4 de-
modulator. Depress PHONO.
The selector under the left
slide panel should be in its
upper position, 4 CH,

OFF-the-tape Monitoring,
4-Channel

Depress the PHONO and
TAPE buttons together.

MAINTENANCE

The external surfaces of your
Beomaster 3400 can normal-
ly be kept clean with a dry
cloth. More thorough treat-
ment can be performed as
follows:

Metal surfaces and white-
lacquered wood. Use a soft
cloth moistened in a luke-
warm solution of detergent in
water. Do not use alcohol as
this may cause the transpa-
rent portions of the slide
knobs to become dull,

Teak and rosewood cabinets.
If the cabinet surfaces seem
grey and dry you may apply
a thin film of teak or rose-
wood oil, but not more than
once or twice a year. Use a
thin grade of oil, especially
for rosewood.

Blond oak cabinet. Acetone
may be used forthe removal
of dark spots. Do not use oil
under any circumstances

- even non-oil detergent or
wax can cause discoloration
of the surface. More extensi-
ve treatment or repairs, it re-
quired, should be left to your
dealer.
