integrated amplifier: input selection and tape monitor. It also provides both a
numeric and a graphic depiction of the current volume setting

appropriate input. You may have as many as three line inputs (meaning single-

tape loop In addition, the CAP-2100 has a dedicated tape loop for use with sources that
can both record and play back, bringing the total number of sources you can
connect to the CAP-2100 to five (four single-ended and one balanced).
When you touch the tape button to highlight it, you will notice that the
previously selected input remains highlighted. Whenever any input is selected

to the recording device connected to the tape output. You may record it or not as
you please.
When you select the tape button, you are asking the CAP-2100 to continue
with this recording feed (whether or not it is being used), while switching to
monitor the output of the tape deck (or CD recorder, or whatever else you might
have connected to the record loop). In this way, you can monitor the result of
your recording while you are making it, in real time. (is assumes that your
recording device supports this capability, as do three-head tape decks.)
