This unit has been designed to playback the following CDs:

• Audio CD

• CD-R (CD-Recordable)

• CD-RW (CD-ReWritable)

• MP3 disc (MP3 files recorded on a CD-R or CD-RWy:

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW

• User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs (CD-ReWri- table) can be played back when they are already "finalized."

• Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them, or if the player's lens is dirty.

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the reflect- ance of CD-RWs is lower than l\_r regular CDs.

*For MP3 discs

• This unit manages files and folders on MP3 discs as "tracks"

and "albums."

• Playback order of the MP3 files (tracks) recorded on a disc are determined by the writing (or encoding) application; therefore, playback order may be different from the one you have intended while recording the files and the folders.

• This unit shows the file (track) names and ID3v2 tags (only "Title", "Artist" and "Album") on the display after starts play; however, there is a limitation on available characters and some file names and ID3 tags are not shown correctly.

More about MP3 discs

o MP3 discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer read-

out time. (It varies due to the complexity of the recording configuration.)

• When making an MP3 disc, select tSO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2 as the disc format.

• This unit does not support multisession recording.

• This unit can play MP3 files only with the following file ex- tensions- ".MP3," ".Mp3," ".raP3," and ".mp3."

° Non-MP3 files are ignored, lfnon-MP3 files are recorded

together with MP3 files, this unit will take a longer time to scan the disc. tt may also cause the unit to malfunction.

• Some MP3 discs may not be played back because of their disc characteristics or recorded conditions.

PROGRAM

TAPE B

TAPE A

A PUSH OPEN (Deck B)

Recording onto a cassette from any of the sound sources is simple. Just place a tape in Deck B, have the source ready, make one or two settings, and you're ready to record. For each source, the pro- cedure is a little bit different so we explain each separately. But first, here are a few things to make your recordings better.

Things To Know Before You Start Recording

It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record

pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without the con-

sent of the owner of copyright in the sound or video

recording, broadcast or cable program and in any lit- erary, dramatic, musical, or artistic content embodied therein.

The recording level, which is the volume at which the new tape is being made, is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the VOLUME Control on the System. Also, it is not affected by adjusting the sound effects. Thus, during recording, you can adjust the sound yon are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.

Two small tabs on the back of the cassette tape, one for side A and one for side B, can be removed to prevent accidental erasnre or recording.

Adhesive tape

To record on a cassette with the tabs removed, you must cover the holes with adhesive tape first.

Type I tape can be used for recording.

" At the startand end of cassette tapes, there is leader tape

which cannot be recorded onto. Thus, when recording CDs, radio broadcasts, etc., wind on the leader tape first to ensure getting the beginning of the recording.

_CAUTION:

• If a recording you make has excessive noise or

static, the Unit may have been too close to a TV which was on during the recording. Either turn

off the TV or increase the distance between the TV and the Unit.

Page 21

Using the Cassette Deck (Recording)

Standard Recording

This is the basic method for recording any source. The System also

has special ways for recording CD to tape, and tape to tape, which save you time and effort, as well as give you some special effects. However, when you need to add a selection to a tape you have made, or are combining selections from several sources on one tape, use the method described below; just substitute the source you want into this procedure, such as a tape in Deck A, a CD, or the Tuner. You can also record from an external equipment with this procedure.

To Record Any Sound Source to Tape

Follow these steps to record from any sound source onto a tape ill Deck B.

1 Insert a blank or erasable tape into the Deck

B and wind past the tape leader.

2 Insert a blank or erasable tape into the Deck

B and wind past the tape leader.

3 Press the CD REC START button on the Unit.

"CD REC" appears on tire display and tire "REC" indicator

lights up. Then, the System begins CD Synchro Recording and the tracks on the CD are recorded on the tape. When recording of the tracks of all CDs is finished, the CD Player and Cassette Deck stop.

• If the tab of the cassette tape on the Deck B is removed to

prevent erasure or recording, "NO REC" will appear on the display.

• Alter the CD Player has played the entire CD or all the pro-

grammed tracks, the tape automatically stops.

To stop at any time during the recording process, press the • button. The CD Player and Cassette Deck stop.

• When making SLEEP timer settings while doing CD Syn- chro recording, set enough time to allow for the CD to fin- ish playing, otherwise the power will go off before recording is completed.

Tape travelling direction

2 Prepare the source, by, for example, tuning

in a radio station, loading CDs, or turning on

connected equipment.

• For CD recording, see "CD Synchro Recording" mentioned

below.

3 Press the REC START/STOP button on the

Unit.

The "REC" indicator lights up and the System begins record- ing. The Tape indicator (_) blinks on the display.

• If the tab of the cassette tape on the Deck B is removed to prevent erasure or recording, "NO REC" will appear on the display.

To stop during recording, press the REC START/STOP but-

ton on the Unit, or press the • button.

Recording an AM Station to Tape (Beat Cut)

FM MODE button on the Remote Control to eliminate the beats.

/ Set to AM station and start recording.

2 Press the FM MODE button on the Remote

Recording from one tape to another is called dubbing. You can club tapes simply, with.just a single button.

1 Press the TAPE A =.- button, and then press

the • button.

2 Insert the source cassette you want to copy

from into Deck A for playback.

3 Insert a blank or erasable cassette you want

Deck A and Deck B will start simultaneously and tile "RE(."'

indicator lights up. During dubbing, the Deck indicators "A" and "B" light up al- ternately.

• If no tape is inserted into Deck A, "NO TAPE" will appear

on the display.

• If no tape is inserted into Deck B, "NO TAPE" will appear

on the display.

To stop dubbing, press the REC START/STOP button on the Unit or the • button.

• During dubbing, you can hear sound effects through the speakers or headphones. However, the sound is dubbed without sound effects.

CD Synchro Recording

Everything on the CD goes onto the tape in the order it is on the CD, or according to the order you have set in a program.

1 Prepare COs. (See page 12.)

Press the CD1-3 button (that you want to make recording), and then press the • button.
