• The names of buttons/controls and display messages are written in all capital letters: e.g. FM/AM, “NO DISC”.

• If the button names on the Unit and the Remote Control are the same, the description on where the button is used will be omitted.

• System functions are written with an initial capital letter only: e.g. Normal Play.

Use the table of contents to look up specific information you require. We have enjoyed making this manual for you, and hope it serves you in enjoying the many features built into your System.

For simplicity, we show here only the items described in this section.

The CD Player has the rotational disc tray that can accommodate 3 CDs. You can use Normal, Program, Random, or Repeat Play.

Normal Play: Can continuously play all the tracks on all

the CDs.

Program Play: Can play all the programmed tracks on all

the CDs in the programmed order.

Random Play: Can play all the tracks on all the CDs in ran-

dom order.

Repeat Play: Can repeat all the tracks on all the CDs, the

tracks on one of the CDs, or just one of tracks on one CD.

Here are the basic things you need to know to play CDs and locate the different tracks on them.

About the Disc Indicator

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 procedure 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 consent of the owner of copyright in the sound or video recording, broadcast or cable program and in any literary, 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 you 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 erasure or recording.

Deck indicators

• At the start and 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.

❏ 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.

17

Adhesive tape

Standard Recording

Tape travelling direction

(When finished)

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.

Using the Cassette Deck (Recording)

Insert a blank or erasable tape into the Deck

2

B and wind past the tape leader. Press the CD REC START button on the Unit.

3

“CD REC” appears on the display and the “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, “CD REC FINISHED” scrolls on the display and the CD Player and Cassette Deck stop.

CD

REC START

To Record Any Sound Source to Tape

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

Insert a blank or erasable tape into the Deck

1

B and wind past the tape leader.

Prepare the source, by, for example, tuning

2

in a radio station, loading CDs, or turning on connected equipment.

• For CD recording, see “CD Synchro Recording” mentioned below.

• For dubbing, see “Tape to Tape Recording (DUBBING)” described below.

Press the REC START/STOP button on the

3

Unit.

The “REC” indicator lights up and the System begins recording. The Tape indicator (3) 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 button on the Unit, or press the 7 button.

Recording an AM Station to Tape (Beat Cut)

When recording an AM broadcast, beats may be produced which are not heard when listening to the broadcast. If this happens, press the PROGRAM button on the Unit to eliminate the beats.

Set to AM station and start recording.

1

Press the PROGRAM button on the Unit to

2

eliminate the beats.

Each time you press the button, the display changes as shown below: CUT 1= CUT 2 = (back to the beginning)

• 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.

• After the CD Player has played the entire CD or all the programmed tracks, the tape automatically stops.

To stop at any time during the recording process, press the REC START/STOP button on the Unit or the 7 button. “CD REC FINISHED” scrolls on the display and the CD Player and Cassette Deck stop.

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

Tape to Tape Recording (DUBBING)

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

Press the TAPE

1

7777

button.

Insert the source cassette you want to copy

2

from into Deck A for playback. Insert a blank or erasable cassette you want

3

to copy onto into Deck B for recording. Press the DUBBING button on the Unit.

4

Deck A and Deck B will start simultaneously and the "REC" indicator lights up. During dubbing, the Deck indicators "A" and "B" light up alternately.

• 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 7 button.

Press the CD1-3 button (that you want to make recording), and then press the 7 button.

• If you want to record specific tracks only, you need to program the tracks beforehand. (See page 14.)

Setting the SLEEP Timer

Use the Sleep Timer to turn the System off after a certain number of minutes when it is playing. By setting the Sleep Timer, you can fall asleep to music and know that your System will turn off by itself rather than play all night.

The “SLEEP” indicator stops blinking and remains lit, and the display returns to the original one before setting the Sleep Timer. The System is now set to turn off after the number of minutes you have set.

Timer Priority

Since each timer can be set independently, you may wonder what happens if the settings overlap. Here are the priorities for each timer: The REC Timer always has priority. This means that:

• If other timer is set to come on during a time when the REC Timer is operating, the other timer just won’t come on at all, so you will always get the entire program on a tape.

• If the REC Timer is set to come on while other timer is operating, the other timer will turn off just before the REC Timer is set to turn on, and the REC Timer will then take over.

❏ If the SLEEP Timer is set while DAILY Timer is operating, the

DAILY Timer settings are cancelled. However, if DAILY Timer is set to come on while the SLEEP Timer is operating, the SLEEP Timer setting will be cancelled and the System will use the settings from the DAILY Timer.

Example 1

To Confirm the Sleep Time:

When the SLEEP button on the Remote Control is pressed, the remaining sleep time is displayed. Wait until the display returns to the original display.

To Cancel the SLEEP Timer Setting:

Press the SLEEP button on the Remote Control until the “SLEEP” indicator goes out on the display.

• Turning off the System also cancels the SLEEP Timer.
