1 Follow Steps 1 to 3 of “Recording on a Tape” on

page 6. Make sure that record-protect tabs on the cassette have not been removed.

2 Press REC r.

The AUTO indicator flashes and the deck automatically adjusts the recording level. The AUTO indicator lights up continuously after the recording level has been adjusted.

3 Press PAUSE P or ·.

Recording starts.

To cancel the Auto Rec Level function

Press ARL or turn REC LEVEL so that the AUTO indicator goes off. If you do either of these during recording, recording will continue but with the Auto Rec Level function turned off.

z You should adjust the recording level manually with

REC LEVEL in the following cases:

—The recording level cannot be adjusted properly due

to excessive noise in the program source.

—The program source level is too low and the recording

level does not increase. During a quiet passage in a program source such as classical music, the recording level may not increase for some time. If a high sound level is expected later on in the track, play that portion first so that the right adjustment can be obtained.

—The recording level does not decrease for a long time.

The Auto Rec Level function may not work properly when you try to record sound produced by a graphic equalizer that has extremely high-level signals.

z To record with the optimum recording level

• To prevent changes in the recording level after recording starts, press REC r while playing the highest sound level portion of the program source to be recorded. The result is a more natural-sounding recording.

• If you play the entire program source after the AUTO indicator has stopped flashing and is lit continuously, the deck will set the recording level for the portion of the program source with the highest signal level.

z Recording level setting remains even after the

recording has ended

After you have finished recording with the Auto Rec Level function, the AUTO indicator remains on and the recording level setting remains the same. To cancel the setting, do one of the following:

• Press ARL to turn off the AUTO indicator

• Turn REC LEVEL

• Turn the deck off.

To stop recording

Press p.

z What is the Auto Rec Level function?

The Auto Rec Level function automatically sets the recording level according to the peak signal level of the program source. While the AUTO indicator is flashing, the deck sets the recording level as high as possible without causing distortion. If the signal level rises excessively after the start of recording, the deck gradually decreases the recording level.

Advanced Recording Operations

Fading In and Out (Fader)

You can gradually increase the recording level at the beginning of a recording (fade in) or gradually decrease the recording level at the end of a recording (fade out). It is convenient to use this function, for example, when the tape reaches to its end and you don’t want the track to be cut off abruptly. You can do fade in or out recording only when you have adjusted the recording level manually (see page 7).

Additional Information

Precautions

On safety

• Do not disassemble the cabinet — this may result in an electrical shock. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the tape deck and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

On power sources

• Before operating the tape deck, check that the operating voltage of the tape deck is identical with your local power supply. The operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate at the rear of the tape deck.

• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off (not applicable to European models).

• If you are not going to use the tape deck for a long time, be sure to disconnect the tape deck from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.

• AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.

On operation

• Because of a safety mechanism, the function buttons will not operate if the cassette holder is not completely closed, if there is no cassette in the cassette holder, or if a cassette has been incorrectly inserted into the cassette holder.

• Be sure to stop the tape before turning off the tape deck. Otherwise, the tape may be damaged.

On placement

• Place the tape deck in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the tape deck.

• Do not place the tape deck: — on a soft surface such as a rug that might block the

ventilation holes on the bottom. — in a location near heat sources. — in a place subject to direct sunlight. — in an inclined position. — in a place subject to excessive dust or mechanical shock.

On cleaning the tape deck

Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.

Notes on Cassette Tapes

To protect a recording on side A or B

Break out the respective tab.

Side A

Tab for side B

To record on a tape with a missing record-protect tab

Cover the respective tab hole with adhesive tape.

When you are using a type II or type IV tape, be careful not to cover the detector slots that the deck uses to determine the tape type.

Type II

Detector slots

On tapes longer than 90 minutes

We do not recommend the use of tapes longer than 90 minutes except for a long continuous recording or playback. They are very thin and tend to stretch easily.

On handling cassettes

• To prevent the heads and tape path from getting dirty, avoid touching the tape surface of a cassette.

• Place cassettes away from equipment with magnets, such as speakers and amplifiers, which may cause tape distortion or erase the recordings.

• Do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight, extremely cold temperature, or moisture.
