RECORDING

The music search system detects blank sections (lasting for at least 4 seconds) between selections in order to locate the beginning of selections in the forward or reverse direction.

1.To advance from the current selection to the beginning of the next selection (CUE) :

Press the Play ( 1 ) button simultaneously with

the Fast Forward ( 7 ) button. Press the Play ( 0 ) button simultaneously with the Rewind ( 6 ) button.

The deck will skip the rest of the current selection and automatically resume play from the beginning of the next selection.

2. To repeat playback from the beginning of the current selection (REVIEW) :

Press the Play ( 1 ) button simultaneously with the Rewind ( 6 ) button. Press the Play ( 0 ) button simultaneously with the Fast Forward ( 7 ) button.

The deck will rewind the tape to the beginning of the current selection and automatically resume play from that point.

This is very convenient for repeating playback of the current selection.

Notes on Music Search Operation :

The search functions operates by detecting comparatively long, blank sections approximately 4 to 5 seconds long, in between recorded selections. Therefore, the system may not operate normally in the following cases:

•Recordings with discontinuous speech or conversation.

•Recordings with long periods of pianissimo (softly played music).

•Blank sections with a high level of noise.

•Blank sections shorter than 4 seconds.

•If noise-emitting appliances, such as electric razors, drills, refrigerators, etc., are operated nearby.

•REVIEW close to the beginning of the program or CUE close to the ending.

Playback starts automatically when the power is turned on.

•Playback is performed according to the reverse mode set when the power was turned off.

•Playback is performed even if a cassette tape is only loaded in one deck.

•Playback always starts in the “1” tape travel direction.

•When tapes are loaded in both Deck A and Deck B, playback starts from Deck A.

•The power on playback function can be set with the “PRESET FUNCTION” (page 11).

•The operations described below apply to deck A and deck B alike.

LINE A : The sound input to the DECK A LINE IN jacks can be recorded.

LINE B : The sound input to the DECK B LINE IN jacks can be recorded.

Caution :

Be careful not to erase important recordings by mistake. Inadvertent start of recording will happen in the following cases:

1.If the Play ( 0 or 1 ) button is pressed while the 4 indicator lights, recording starts.

2.If the Play ( 0 or 1 ) button and Rec/Rec Mute

( 4 ) button are pressed at the same time, recording starts.

The best way to avoid accidental erasure is to break off the two erasure prevention tabs on the cassette housing.

2PROPER RECORDING LEVEL

A too high recording level can saturate the tape and cause distortion. On the other hand, if the recording level is set too low, soft passages will be marked by residual noise. A proper recording level is the most important factor for making well balanced recordings.

Guideline for maximum recording level

Type I (Normal)

+3 dB level on peaks

 

 

Type II (CrO2)

+3 dB level on peaks

 

 

Type IV (Metal)

+3 dB level on peaks

 

 

Note :

The optimum recording level differs depending on the program source and the type of tape used.
