What is CCRS? (only cassette deck (option))

This is a function for one-touch recording of a CD onto tape. When the CCRS key is pressed, the CD contents and the charac- teristics of the tape to be used are checked for about 60 sec. (depending on the CD contents), the recording level is set auto- matically, and recording starts. At the end of the recording, stop is executed automatically.

The setting is cancelled when the unit is switched OFF or the CD is stopped.
