Recording Operations (see pages 29 to 30)General:

•You cannot change the source during recording.

•There is leader tape which cannot be recorded onto at the start and the end of cassette tapes. Thus, when recording discs or radio broadcasts, wind the leader tape first to ensure that the recording will be made without any music part lost.

•If no cassette is inserted or a protected tape has been inserted, “NO REC” appears on the display.

•The recording level is automatically set correctly. Thus, you can make sound adjustment other than the Surround Mode without affecting the recording level.

Recording on a Tape:

•When using Reverse Mode for recording, start recording in the forward (3) direction first; otherwise, recording will stop when only one side (reverse) of the tape is recorded.

Synchronized Disc Recording:

•Recording starts from the first track even if you have selected a track by using ¢/4. To specify track(s) to record, program them (or use One Track Recording).

•While recording, you cannot use disc operation buttons (except for 7) and sound setting buttons (except for volume control).

•Everything on the disc goes onto the tape in the order on the disc, or according to the order you have made for Program Play.

•You cannot use Repeat Play during synchronized recording (Repeat Play will be canceled).

•DISC REC START button does not work:

–While playback is paused.

–When Random Play is activated.

–While playing back or being paused with Program Play.

•When the tape reaches its end in the forward direction (3) during recording, the last song will be re-recorded at the beginning of the reverse side (2).

•When the tape reaches its end in the reverse side (2) during recording, recording stops even though the disc is not entirely recorded.

To record only your favorite track—One Track Recording:

•For DVD-VR, recording starts at current playback point.

Enjoying Karaoke (see pages 31 to 33)

General:

•While recording on a tape, Key control, ECHO sound and Vocal Masking will be recorded.

Reducing the Lead Vocal—Vocal Masking:

•The Vocal Masking Mode setting is not applied to the optical digital output signals through the OPTICAL DIGITAL OUTPUT terminal.

•When playing a Karaoke disc in the Vocal Masking Mode, the vocal may not be reduced or the volume may be lower.

•On some music, the Vocal Masking Mode does not provide the correct effect.

Scoring Your Karaoke Skill:

•Before the scoring function is activated, you can select the track by pressing ¢/4 (except for DVD Video and SVCD/VCD with PBC).

•You can also activate the scoring function while playing back. In this case, the scoring starts from that point.

But cancel the Karaoke Scoring mode and set the Karaoke Scoring mode again in the same track during the playback, scoring starts from next track.

•While the scoring function is in use, you cannot use the following buttons: MIC MIX, RESERVE, number buttons, and disc operation buttons (except for ¢/4/7).

•Activating the scoring function cancels Repeat Play.

•You cannot use the scoring function during Program Play, Random Play, or recording.

•The ranking (top 3) is cleared when you turn off the System. (If the number of songs scored is less than 3, “0 POINT” appears.)

•Karaoke Scoring is not functioned during recording.

Reserving Karaoke Songs—Karaoke Program Play:

•If you have selected a disc tray on which DVD Audio or DVD-VR is loaded, that disc number is skipped.

•If DVD-VR, ASF, MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 is loaded on the current tray, you cannot use Karaoke Program Play.

•When the track starts playback, that track number will be erased from the Karaoke reserve screen (the programmed contents will remain until you erase it).

•While the PROGRAM indicator is flashing, you cannot change the disc to play. (DISC 1 – 5 on the remote control and 3 on the main unit do not work.)

Timer Operations (see pages 34 to 35)Setting the Timer:

•If you do not specify the preset station or track number correctly while setting a timer, the currently selected station or the first track will be played when timer is activated.

•When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure occurs, the timer will be canceled. You need to set the clock first, then the timer again.

•Without stopping the recording, you cannot change the source after Recording Timer starts recording.

•If you set DVD Video as the source, Daily Timer will not work correctly.
