Using the Cassette Deck (Recording)

Standard Recording

This is the basic method for recording any source. The System also has special ways for recording CD to tape, and tape to tape, which save you time and effort, as well as give you some special effects. However, when you need to add a selection to a tape you have made, or are combining selections from several sources on one tape, use the method described below; just substitute the source you want into this procedure, such as a tape in Deck A, a CD, or the Tuner. You can also record from an external equipment with this procedure.
