zTo play a tape recorded with the Dolby NR* system

Set DOLBY NR to the same position that the tape was recorded in—B or C.

zWhat is the Dolby NR system?

The Dolby NR (noise reduction) system eliminates tape hiss noise by boosting low-level signals in the highfrequency range during recording, then lowering them during playback. Type C provides greater noise reduction than type B.

zYou can connect the headphones to PHONES (TC-WE405 only)

1Follow 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.

2Press 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.

zYou 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.

zTo record with the optimum recording level

•To prevent changes in the recording level after recording starts, press REC rwhile 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.

zRecording level setting remains even after the recording has ended

3Press PAUSE Por á. 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.

To stop recording

Press p.

zWhat 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.

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.

3-810-312-31(1)

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).

Advanced Recording Operations

zDuring high-speed dubbing

Only pis operative.

zYou don‘t have to adjust the recording level or select the Dolby NR system during dubbing

Dubbing is automatically performed with the same recording level and Dolby NR system as the original in deck A. If, however, you want to monitor the sound during normal-speed dubbing, set DOLBY NR to match the tape in deck A (see page 5).

Note

If a TV set is placed near the tape deck, noise may occur during high-speed dubbing. In that case, turn the television set off or move it away from the tape deck.

Dubbing only specific portions

You can do this only during the normal-speed dubbing.

1Press pon deck A at the portion you want to skip.

Deck B changes to recording pause.

2Locate the point you want to resume recording on deck A, then stop the tape.

3Press PAUSE Pto resume dubbing.
