of
your Chinon Projector
and
the appropriate
jack (LINE OUT, MONI, EXT. SP.,etc.)
of
your tape recorder, radio, or phonograph
(Fig.
29).
2. Since the output
of
tape recorders, radios,
and similar sources vary from model to

of
the external
source (e.g. tape recorder) should
be
used
for adjusting volume.
To
do
so, turn the
Main
Switch
to
"Stop",
plug
in an earphone
and monitor
by
depressing the Record But-
ton. While monitoring, adjust the Volume
Control
of
the external source until the re-
cording level
is
sufficiently loud and clear.
The above

Level
Control set to
AUTO.
When setting the Recording Level Control
to
MANUAL
the following procedure
applies:
a)
Set the Main Switch to
"Stop".
b)
Set the Volume Control
of
your Chinon
sound projector to the MIDWAY
pOint
(the 12:00 o'clock position).
c)
Plug earphone into the Monitor Jack
of
the projector.
d)
Depress Record Button.
e)
While monitoring, adjust the Volume
Control
of
the tape recorder, excercising
care that the indicator needle
of
the
Recording
Level
Meter does not enter
the red zone
of
the scale
(Fig.
30).
3.
Rotate the Main Switch clockwise to the
Forward position (Fig. 31).
4. Reset the Record Button to the RECORD
(recessed) position (Fig. 32).
10

RECORDING DURING PROJECTION
The
Record Button can
be
depressed, and
re-
cording commenced, at any point during pro-
jection. Moreover, the Record Button can
be
instantly disengaged at any point during projec-
tion
by
merely pushing it in once again.
ERASING
To
erase a previously recorded
film
without re-
cording, proceed
as
follows:
1. Disconnect the cord
of
the microphone,
tape recorder, or other source from the
sound projector.
2. Set the Auto/Manual Recording Le
vel
Con-
trol Button to the
MANUAL
(recesse
d)
position (Fig. 33).
3. Rotate the Volume Control Knob complete-

a narration and background music,
for
.
ex
ample.
Of
course, in such a
case,
care must
be taken that the background music does not
overpower the narration. For b
es
t r
es
ults, pro-
ceed
as
foll
o
ws:
1.
Connect the tape recorder to the Aux
J
ac
k,
and the microphone to the Mic Jack
(Fig. 37).

SIMPLE MIXING METHOD WITH ONE
MICROPHONE
Pl
aya
tape recorder
as
background music
(w
ith-
o
ut
connecting it to the projector) and speak
int
o the microphone for the narration.
Th

mu
sic or narration can be emph
as
i
ze
d simply
by
placing the
mi
crophone closer to one so
ur
ce
than the
ot
he

Although this is not a perfect
system and some background noise m
ay
be
pi
ck-
ed
up
, the beginner may
wi
sh to start with such
a simple syste
m.
SOUND ON SOUND RECORDING

However, if one mak

Ther
efore, careful practice is necessar
y.
If
th

clockwise (with the additional sound source
connected to the projector) until it comes
to the
"NORMAL"
position and continue
recording (erasing the original sound).
3. Next, when you wish to have the original
sound gradually
fade
back in, rotate the
Sound on Sound Knob gently counterclock-
wise until it comes to a stop. This can
be
repeated to intersperse additional sound
within the original recording (Fig. 46).
THE LINE OUT JACK
When
connecting the sound projector to an am-
plifier and external loud-speaker combination,
the
Line
Out Jack
is
used.
For copying the sound
track of your film, a tape recorder is plugged
into this jack. When using an external amplifier
and loud-speaker, proceed
as
follows:
1. Connect the Line
Out
Jack of the projector
with the
AUX
(Line In) jack of the exter-
nal amplifier (Fig. 47).
2. Connect the amplifier to the external speaker.
3. Adjust volume with the volume control of
the amplifier.

PAINPUTJACK
The
PA
Input Jack can serve three useful pur-
poses:
•
The
projector can
be
used
as
a public
address system
by
plugging in the micro-
phone and adjusting the volume
of
the
projector (Fig. 48).
•
The
microphone can
be
plugged into the
PA Input Jack and used
for
narration during
projection completely independent
of
the
recording system.
• Silent movies can
be
made to come to
life
by
adding narration in the above manner,
or
by
connecting a tape recorder for sound
effects.
When a
tape
recorder
is
used, volume
should
be
adj
usted
by
the volume control
of
the tape recorder (Fig. 49).
