Copying (dubbing) a tape

You can automatically copy a tape in tape-well A onto a

tape in tape-well B.

A few tips about recording tape-to-tape:

You can record tapes from any source connected to your system: CDs, other tapes, records (if you’ve connected a record player), the radio, and even the audio portion of videotapes or laser discs (if you have these components connected).

A few tips:

•To record tapes, use tape-well B.

•You can’t make recordings on metal tapes.

•Dolby Noise Reduction reduces tape hiss produced during the record/play process. Dolby B is the most widely used noise reduction system on pre-recorded tapes. Be sure you mark the tapes you record either Dolby B or not so you can play them back properly.

Setting the recording level

Setting the proper recording level is an important part of making good tapes. If the recording level is too low, tape hiss may mask the music’s softer parts. If the recording level is too high, the music may sound distorted. These instructions help you set the optimum recording level.

1Put a blank tape in tape-well B.

2Press the PAUSE button, and then press the REC and PLAY buttons simultaneously.

3Set the input of the receiver to the source you want to record. You can’t select TAPE.

4Find a loud section from the source you want to record, and play it.

5Using the REC LEVEL knob, adjust the recording level so that the level indicators flash at 0 dB on the music’s loudest passages. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the recording level or counter-clockwise to reduce it.
