RECORDING INSTRUCTIONS

Please use deck B for recording external sources or dubbing tapes.

RECORDING EXTERNAL SOURCE TO TAPE:

1.Press [STOP/EJECT] on deck B to open the cassette holder.

2.Insert a blank tape and close the cassette holder.

3.If recording to a Cr02 tape, press the [REC Cr02] button.

4.Press the [PAUSE] button and then press [RECORD].

5.Play your external source and check the levels on the display. Use the REC LEVEL knob to adjust the level of the incoming audio signal.

6.Press the [PAUSE] button to begin recording when you are ready.

Tip: The REC LEVEL knob can be used to make adjustments to the loudness of the incoming signal. If the knob is in the center position, the incoming signal will be recorded at its original volume. Ideally, the recording signal should come close but never hit red in the level indicator on the display. If the signal is in the red, then turn down the REC LEVEL knob until it no longer reaches the red. If the signal is too low and not close to the red, turn up the REC LEVEL knob.

DUBBING OPERATION:

1.Insert the tape for playback in deck A.

2.Insert the tape you wish to record to in deck B.

3.Press the [DUBBING] button. “Dubbing” will be illuminated on the display.

4.Select the dubbing speed with the [HI SP DUB] button. If the “HI SP DUB” indicator is illuminated on the display, you will be dubbing in high-speed mode. If the indicator is not lit, then you will be recording in normal-speed mode.

5.Press the [PAUSE] button on deck A, followed by the [PLAY] button to cue the tape.

6.Press the [RECORD] button on deck B.
