5.Begin the recording of the first source by pressing the play control button. The unit will enter record mode. After the first source has completed record- ing, the next component in the cascade will begin recording. This will continue until the last unit linked in the cascade chain has completed recording and entered the Stop mode.

6.To exit the cascade record mode, press the stop control button of the source machine currently in record mode.

Notes:

If all components have not been set up correctly (tape or CD loaded, record pause armed, etc.) the cascade function will stop upon reaching this source machine.

If the cascade function is started with the tape first, the PMD351 will go to CD playback next and then to the next component. If the playback is started with the CD first, the PMD351 will play the CD then go to the next component.

Before beginning the cascade record function, hand wind the tape leaders so that no leader is showing. This will minimize interruptions in your recordings.

SYNCHRONIZED RECORDING CONTROL The PMD351 is capable of connecting with other Marantz RC-5 based products to allow for synchro- nized start of the product recording through the starting of the play function of the CD player or the tape transport of the PMD351. By connecting the RC- 5 output jack to the RC-5 input jack of another Marantz recorder, the PMD351 will issue a command for the recording to start as soon as the play control button is pressed on the PMD351. Pressing the stop or the stop/eject control button on the PMD-source deck will place the attached component into the record/pause mode.

During the cascade recording mode, the PMD351 can be attached to other Marantz RC-5-based decks for the purpose of small scale duplication of the dubbing source. This is accomplished by linking the RC-5 output connector to the RC-5 input of the recording deck and placing the PMD351 reverse mode control switch into the cascade position.

Notes:

CAUTION

If you must stop playback or recording in the middle of

a tape, be sure to press the STOP button first, then turn the power off. If the power is turned off in the

middle of an operation, the cassette tape remains loaded and it may be impossible to eject. In such a case, turn the power on; enter PLAY mode; press STOP; and then eject the tape. The same caution as above applies in case of power failure. To prevent damage, never attempt to force the removal of a cassette while the power is off.

ERASURE OF TAPE

When a program source is recorded onto a tape, the previously recorded sound is erased automatically and replaced with the new recording. If you wish to erase a tape without recording, set the REC LEVEL control to the minimum (counterclockwise) position and let the tape travel in the Record mode.

AUTO TAPE SELECTOR

This unit is equipped with an auto tape selector which automatically sets the bias and equalizer level using the detection holes provided in the cassette shell. The bias and equalizer level are automatically set accord- ing to the type of cassette as follows.

TO PROTECT VALUABLE RECORDINGS

In the record mode, information previously recorded on the tape will automatically be erased. To prevent this from happening, use a small screwdriver to break out one or both safety tabs.

It is possible to restore the recording capability of either side of the cassette by covering the opening with clear adhesive tape.
