Below them, in thelower bank, are a corresponding array of buttons which choose the source component to be routed tothe preamplifier’s recording outputs. One component (for example, the record player) can therefore belistened to whilst the output from another (say, the tuner) can be recorded onto a tape recorder. It ispossible to lock the record controls and prevent accidental de-selection during recording. Record-lockis switched on or off by depressing the source mono button four times within six seconds.mute and mono facilitiesTo the left of each bank of buttons there are two further buttons labelled mute and mono.
