Marantz PMD351 manual Automatic Record Level Tape Dubbing, Extended Cascade Operation

AUTOMATIC RECORD LEVEL

TAPE DUBBING

1.By pressing the CD STOP/EJECT button and the tape eject button, you can load the CD to be dubbed onto the CD tray and a recordable tape into the tape transport. Gently press the front of each mechanism to close them. The CD display will register the general CD data and the tape play indicator located inside of the Tape PLAY button will begin to flash.

2.Prepare the tape for dubbing by rewinding it to the beginning of the first side onto which the tape is to be recorded.

3.Set the ALC switch to the ON position.

4.Press the DUBB button once. The REC indicator will begin to flash; the DUBB indicator will light; and the CD player will enter play mode. The CD will automatically begin to search the source for the peak level. This procedure could take as long as five minutes to complete. Once the peak level has been determined, the record level for dubbing will be set automatically.

5.After the record level has been set, the tape transport will enter into the record mode. After approximately five seconds, the CD player will enter the playback mode and begin to play the first track, dubbing it onto the tape.

6.When either the CD transport or the tape transport have reached the end and stopped, the other transport will also stop.

7.To end the dubbing during a session, press the STOP on the tape transport or the STOP/EJECT button on the CD player.

Notes:

When dubbing is started with a program of CD tracks, the tracks are dubbed in the order of which the original playback was programmed. For assistance in pro- gramming playback, see PROGRAM PLAY.

The CD peak level that is detected during ALC level dubbing may vary from one recording to another; however, the effect will be minimal. When recording with the reverse mode control set to the two-way or the continuous mode, there may be an interruption in recording of approximately one second during the optical reversing of the tape transport.

EXTENDED CASCADE OPERATION

By using the cascade feature on the PMD351 with another PMD351 or other Marantz Professional products offering the cascade feature, several units can be connected to supply long playback or recording functionality.

EXTENDED CASCADE PLAYBACK

1.Refer to the user guide of the other components to assure that all connections and switch settings are set correctly.

2.Assure that the “ EXT” jack on the rear of all units are connected. Starting with the first unit to operate, connect the “EXT” out jack to the “EXT” input on the second unit to operate. Continue this set-up procedure until all units that are to operate in the cascade mode have the “EXT” control jacks serially linked together.
