RECORDING

With the Arcam A32 it is possible to listen to and record from one source, or to listen to one source while recording another.

Both sets of tape sockets are identical in sensitivity and suitable for use with almost any type of recorder (cassette, CDR, MD, VCR, reel-to- reel, etc.). The record signal is sent to both the TAPE and VCR output sockets.

RECORD 3

To record the currently selected source, press RECORD until the display shows ‘RECORD SOURCE’. After a few seconds the display reverts to showing the volume level and you are ready to record.

To listen to one source while recording another, press RECORD again until the display shows ‘RECORD’ followed by the name of an input (e.g. ‘AUX’,‘CD’,‘TUNER’, etc.). Now press the source selector button on the front panel for the source you wish to record.Your selection is shown on the display for a few seconds, after which it reverts to showing the volume level and you are ready to record.

The RECORD button can also be used as a second zone selector, sending a source signal at line level to a second amplifier operating in another room. If you need help with this, contact your Arcam dealer or Arcam customer support.

Tape-to-tape copying (dubbing)

You can perform tape dubbing from VCR to TAPE, but not from TAPE to VCR.

For example, to copy from a cassette recorder connected to the VCR socket to a cassette recorder connected to the TAPE 1 socket, first use the RECORD button as explained above and select ‘RECORD VCR’.This routes the VCR signal to the TAPE output.

Set the cassette recorder connected to the TAPE socket into its record mode and the other to playback mode to start dubbing.

TAPE 8

To play back the recording from a cassette deck attached to the TAPE 1 input, press TAPE. ‘TAPE 1’ is shown on the display. Selecting this input overrides the other source selectors.

It is also possible to monitor a recording while it is being made, provided your cassette deck is a 3-head type. To do this, press TAPE. Switching this button in/out allows an A/B comparison between the source signal and the recorded signal.
