Recording

This chapter explains how to record the selected input source to an audio component with recording capability, and how to dub from one cassette recorder to another.

Recording the Input Source

The effect of a graphic equalizer connected to the TAPE 2 IN/OUT jacks will not be recorded.

select the component that you

 

want to record.

 

• You can connect your recorder to the

 

TAPE 1 or TAPE 2 OUT jacks.

input sources can be recorded via the

 

TAPE 1 and TAPE 2 OUT jacks

connected to the TAPE 1 OUT

 

or TAPE 2 OUT jacks.

 

 

3

component.

 

 

Tape-to-tape Dubbing

By connecting a cassette recorder to the TAPE 2 OUT jacks, you can copy tapes from the cassette recorder that’s connected to the TAPE 1 IN jacks.

1

Prepare the cassette recorders.

 

 

 

2

Press the [TAPE 1] button.

 

3

Start recording on the cassette

 

 

recorder that’s connected to the

 

TAPE 2 OUT jacks, and start play-

 

back on the cassette recorder

 

that’s connected to the TAPE 1 IN

 

jacks.

 

 

Note:

• You cannot copy from TAPE 2 to TAPE 1.

Monitoring While Recording

Normally, the sound you hear while recording is the sound input to the TX-8011. If you have a 3-head tape recorder (i.e., separate erase, record, and play heads), you can monitor the sound that’s just been recorded onto tape while recording is in progress. This allows you to adjust the recording level on the 3-head tape recorder and hear the result immediately.
