Recording onto a tape from any of the sound sources is simple. Just place a tape in the Cassette Deck, have the source ready, make one or two settings, and you’re ready to record. For each source the procedure is a little bit different so we explain each separately. But first, here are a few things to make your recordings better.
Things To Know Before You Start Recording ————————————
■ It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-recordpre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without the consent of the owner of copyright in the sound or video recording, broadcast or cable program and in any literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic work embodied therein.
■ Type I and Type II tapes can be used for recording.
■ When you want to record onto both sides of a tape, you can set Reverse mode to do so. Recording automatically stops after recording in the reverse (2) direction. Therefore, make sure that the tape direction is forward (3) when recording with Reverse mode on.
■ The recording level, which is the volume at which the new tape is being made, is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the VOLUME control on the System. Nor is it affected by adjusting the sound effects. Thus, during recording you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.
■ Two small tabs on the back of the cassette tape, one for side A and one for side B, can be removed to prevent accidental erasure or recording.
■ To record on a cassette with the tabs removed, you must cover the holes with adhesive tape first. However, when a type II tape is used, only cover part of the hole as shown, since the other part of the hole (Type II detection slot) is used to detect the tape type.

■ Protect the System against vibrations during recording.
■ If you record on a tape with the volume level kept at a high level, recorded sounds may be distorted. To avoid this, turn down the volume level before you start recording.

When the System is in use, the display shows other items as well.
For simplicity, we show here only the items described in this section
CAUTION: If a recording you make has excessive noise or static, the System may have been too close to a TV which was on during the recording. Either turn off the TV or increase the distance between the TV and the System.
Standard Recording
You can record any sound source to tape.
The sources are CD, Tuner, and auxiliary equipment.
1.Insert a blank or erasable cassette tape into the Cassette Deck.
Be sure that the Tape Direction indicator and the tape insertion direction are as follows:
[Forward recording]
Tape Direction indicator | Tape insertion direction |
3
(Forward)
(Front view)
* Recording will be made on the tape side facing you.
•If the Tape Direction indicator 2 (Reverse) is lit, press the TAPE 23 button twice to change the direction. (In this case, since the tape is played, you need to press the 7 button.) Then, press the 4 button to rewind the tape.
•If the inserted tape is not fully rewound, press the 4 button to rewind it.
•At the start and end of cassette tapes, there is leader tape which cannot be recorded onto. Thus, before recording, wind on the leader tape first to ensure getting the beginning of the recording.
