BEFORE
OPERATION
■
THE
DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN
TRACKS
AND
CHANNELS
The
words
“track”
and
“channel”
are
often
confused.
In
order
to
properly
operate
this
unit,
it
is
necessary
to
under¬
stand
the
meanings
of
these
terms.
TRACK:
The
“band”
on
the
tape
itself
where
a
certain
signal
is
recorded.
The
tape
inside
a
cassette
has
four
different
tracks,
enabling
the
recording
of
four
distinct
signals.
For
conventional
recordings,
there
are
two
tracks
(ste¬
reo
left
and
right)
on
each
of
the
tape.
CHANNEL:
The
route
of
a
signal
input
or
output.
In
the
input
side,
this
unit
has
six
INPUT
channels
and
two
AUX
chan¬
nels.
The
output
side
consists
of
one
stereo
channel
(made
up
of
two
mono
channels)
and
an
AUX
channel.

WHAT
IS
A
MULTITRACK
CASSETTE
RECORDER
?
The

The
diagram
shows
how
a
conventional
stereo
cas¬
sette
deck
records
and
plays
back
music.
The
four
tracks
on
a
cassette
tape
represent
the
left
and
right
(for
stereo)
sound
for
each
side
of
the
tape.
The
MT3X
uses
these
four
tracks
for
single-direction
recording
and
playback
on
only
one
side
of
a
cassette
tape.
Conventional
stereo
cassette
recorders
always
record
and
play
back
in
the
same
mode,
with
the
tape
side
(direction)
determining
which
two
tracks
will
be
used.
These
recorders
do
not
allow
separate
selection
of
tracks
for
recording
and
playback.
Multitrack
recorders,
however,
allow
you
to
record
or
playback
tracks
separately
as
you
choose.
This
en¬
ables
a
degree
of
recording
and
playback
freedom
not
possible
with
conventional
cassette
recorders.
