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.

To Record Any Sound Source to Tape

Follow these steps to record from any sound source onto a tape in Deck B.

1 Insert a blank or erasable tape into the Deck B and wind past the tape leader.

2 Insert a blank or erasable tape into the Deck B and wind past the tape leader.

3 Press the CD REC START button on the Unit.

“CD REC” appears on the display and the “REC” indicator lights up. Then, the System begins CD Synchro Recording and the tracks on the CD are recorded on the tape.

When recording of the tracks of all CDs is finished, “CD REC FINISHED” scrolls on the display and the CD Player and Cas- sette Deck stop.

If no tape is inserted into Deck B, "NO TAPE" will appear on the display.

To stop dubbing, press the REC START/STOP button on the Unit or the 7 button.

CD Synchro Recording

Everything on the CD goes onto the tape in the order it is on the CD, or according to the order you have set in a program.

1 Prepare CDs. (See page 12.)

Press the CD1-3 button (that you want to make recording), and then press the 7 button.

If you want to record specific tracks only, you need to pro- gram the tracks beforehand. (See page 14.)

If you want to record one CD only, you need to load one CD only.

During dubbing, you can hear sound effects through the speakers or headphones. However, the sound is dubbed without sound effects.
