NOTE

It is not possible to perform phono recording as described above under the following circumstances: a tape is not loaded or the tape is write-protected (the phono to tape function is disabled with no recordable tape inserted), or the tape is not either stopped or in record ready mode.

Only recording as described above is possible from the RIAA PHONO sources to tape. Manual recording is not possible.

Other recording features

Recording silences between items

At least four seconds of silence must be recorded between items on tape when using the search func- tions (“Search keys” on page 20).

When recording, press and release either of the REC MUTE keys (main or remote). With the tape moving, the record source is muted for about four seconds (the display record indicator flashes), and the deck then enters record pause mode. Press PAUSE or PLAY to re-start recording.

If the REC MUTE key is pressed while the deck is in record pause mode, four seconds of silence will be recorded on the tape, and the deck will return to record pause mode.

If the REC MUTE key is held and pressed for longer than four seconds while recording is in progress, silence is recorded on the tape while the key is held down. The deck enters record pause mode when the key is released.

Erasing tapes

Anything previously recorded on the tape will auto- matically be erased when you make a new recording

on it. It can also be erased by “recording” on it with the INPUT level control set to “0”.

When the counter has been set to 0000, this position can be reached easily by pressing either of the RTZ

If the current tape position is too close to the 0000 mark (greater than 9995 or less than 0005), this function does not work.

Pitch control

The tape speed, and hence the pitch of the recording can be controlled using the PITCH CONTROL.

Turning this to the right of the center position results in faster tape speed (higher pitch) and turning it to the left of the center position results in slower tape

speed (lower pitch). The maximum is 12% away from normal.

The center “neutral” position is marked by a click detent.
