* When the System is in use, the display shows other items as well.

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

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 may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted

material without the consent of the copyright owner.

❏ 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.

Adhesive tape

• 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.

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 in Deck B.

Insert a blank or erasable tape into the Deck

B and wind past the tape leader.

Tape travelling direction

Using the Cassette Deck (Recording)

Insert a blank or erasable tape into the Deck

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

“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” blinks on the display and the CD Player and Cassette Deck stop.

(When finished)

REC START

• 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.

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.
