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 playback copyright ma-

terial 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

REC indicator

3: Tape indicator

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.

• 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.

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

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.

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

Press the REC START/STOP button on the

Unit.

The “REC” indicator and the Tape indicator (3) light up and the System begins recording.

• If the tab of the cassette tape on the Deck B is removed to prevent erasure or recording, “PROTECT” 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 FM MODE button on the Remote Control to eliminate the beats.

Set to AM station and start recording.

Press the FM MODE button on the Remote

Control to eliminate the beats.

Each time you press the button, the display changes as shown below: CUT 1 Ô CUT 2

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, 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, “PROTECT” 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 7 button. The CD Player will be paused and the Cassette Deck will be stopped. Press the 7 button again, the CD player will be stopped.

• 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.

Insert the source cassette you want to copy

from into Deck A for playback. Press the TAPE A 3 button, and then press

the 7 button. Insert a blank or erasable cassette you want

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

Deck A and Deck B will start simultaneously, “DUBBING” appears 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, the DUBBING button will not work.

• 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.

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