3Set the master recorder to the record standby mode. (That is, press the [PAUSE] button so

that the level meter will respond, then set the recorder in record pause mode.)

2Connect the input jack of a master recorder, such as cassette deck, and the [LINE OUT

L, R] jacks.

Insert a recording tape (or MD) in the master recorder and locate the point on the tape at which you wish to start copying.

<NOTE>

"Mini-components" which can be used for mixdown are limited to types able to record external inputs.

The method for setting the recorder in record standby mode will vary depending on the recorder you are using.

Refer to the instruction manual of the master recorder for more information.

4Adjust the output level and balance (pan position) of tracks, then adjust input level

on the master recorder.
