OPERATIONS

TO USE THE COMPONENT CONNECTED TO THE TAPE2 MONITOR TERMINALS

[For a cassette deck]

ÖA cassette deck connected here can be operated in the same way (recording and playback) as a deck connected to the TAPE2 MONITOR terminals.

ÖAlso, if two decks are used, you can copy tapes from one deck onto the other (see the section on “COPYING TAPES”).

1.Set the TAPE2 MONITOR button to ON.

2.Operate the cassette deck to perform playback (or recording).

NOTE:

The source selected with the INPUT SELECTOR knob is backed up for a few days even when the POWER switch is set to off or the power cord is unpluged.

After this period, the CD is automatically selected when the power is supplied.

[For an adaptor component]

By connecting a graphic equalizer, source sounds (from discs, tapes, AM/FM broadcasts, etc.) can be heard with added sound and tone compensation.

Sounds compensated with the adaptor component can be recorded on the cassette deck connected to the TAPE1/CD- R/MD terminals.

1.Set the TAPE2 MONITOR button to ON.

2.Play back the source.

3.Operate the adaptor component.

NOTE:

Be sure to perform this operation with the adaptor component power switch in the on position. Even when not using the adaptor component, its power switch must be left on. If the adaptor component is switched off, no sound will be pro- duced, or the playback sound will be distorted.
