Recording onto a tape from any of the sound sources is simple. Just place a tape in the Cassette Deck, have the source ready, make one or two settings, and youre ready to record. For each source the procedure is a little different so we explain each separately. But first, here are a few tips for making better recordings.
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.
When you want to record onto both sides of a tape, you can set
Reverse mode to do so. Recording automatically stops after recording in the 2 direction. Therefore, make sure that the tape direction is 3 when recording with Reverse mode on.
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. Nor is it 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.

You can record any sound source to tape as follows:
1 Insert a blank or erasable tape into the
Cassette Deck.
2 If you want to record on both sides of a
tape, press the REV. MODE button on the Unit until the indicator is lit.
When using Reverse mode, insert the tape so that it will be recorded in the forward 3 direction.
3 Check the recording direction for the
tape.
Make sure that the Tape Direction indicator is the same as that for the tape in the Cassette Deck. If the direction is different, press the TAPE @ # button to correct the tape direction and then press the 7 button to stop the tape.
4 Prepare the source by, for example,
tuning in a radio station or turning on connected auxiliary equipment.
Note: For CD recording, refer to CD Direct Recording on page
19.
To record on a cassette with the tabs removed, you must cover
the holes with adhesive tape first. However, when a type II tape is used, only cover part of the hole as shown, since the other part of the hole (Type II detection slot) is used to detect the tape type.
Type I and Type II tapes can be used for recording. Note: At the start and end of cassette tapes, there is leader tape
which cannot be recorded onto. Thus, when recording CDs or radio broadcasts, wind on the leader tape first to ensure that the recording will be made without any music part lost.
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 System.

Adhesive tape
5 Press the REC button on the Unit.
The REC indicator lights up and the System begins recording.
Notes for using Reverse mode for recording
When recording in Reverse mode, the System automatically stops when it reaches the end of the reverse 2 direction. To record on both sides of a tape, make sure that the recording direction for the tape inserted is forwards 3, and that the Tape Direction indicator is also forwards 3, before you start recording.
To stop at any time during the recording process
Press the 7 button.
CD Direct 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 Insert a blank or erasable tape into the
Cassette Deck.
One track recording––––––––––––––––––
1 Insert a blank or erasable tape into the
Cassette Deck.
2 Play the track on the CD you wish to
record.
English
2 Insert a CD. 3 Press the CD #/8 button. 4 Press the 7 button.
If you want to record specific tracks only, program the tracks beforehand. You can check their total playback time on the display during programing. (See page 11.)
5 If you want to record on both sides of a
tape, press the REV. MODE button on the Unit until the indicator is lit.
Make sure that the recording direction for the tape and the Tape Direction indicator are correct. (See Notes for using Reverse mode for recording on page 18.)
6 Select whether to have pauses left
between recorded selections.
If nothing is done, a non-recorded pause of about four seconds will be automatically left between selections.
If you do not want pauses left between selections, do the following before proceeding to the next step.
Press the CD #/8 button twice.
The CD player enters Pause mode.
7 Press the REC button on the Unit.
The REC indicator lights up and the System begins recording.
When recording a CD onto tape with Reverse mode on: If a song is recorded for more than 12 seconds (which corresponds to the length of leader tape) but not finished before the first side of tape comes to an end, this song will automatically be recorded on the second side from its beginning to avoid being split on both sides. If a song is recorded for less than 12 seconds before the first side of tape comes to an end, the song preceding this song will also be recorded on the second side from its beginning as it may not be completely recorded on the first side because of leader tape.
After the CD player has played the entire CD, or all the programed tracks, the tape automatically stops.
3 Press the REC button on the Unit.
The CD player returns to the beginning of that track and the track is recorded on the tape. After recording, the CD player and Cassette Deck automatically stop.
To stop at any time during the recording process, press the 7 button. The tape stops after 4 seconds.
Note: When making SLEEP timer settings while doing CD Direct
recording, set enough time to allow for the CD to finish playing, otherwise the power will go off before recording is completed.
