Recording

This chapter explains how to record the selected input source to an audio component with recording capability, and how to dub from one cassette recorder to another.

Recording the Input Source

The effect of a graphic equalizer connected to the TAPE 2 IN/OUT jacks will not be recorded.

1	Use the input selector buttons to
	select the component that you
	want to record.
	• You can connect your recorder to the
	TAPE 1 or TAPE 2 OUT jacks.
	• The FM, AM, PHONO, and CD
	input sources can be recorded via the
	TAPE 1 and TAPE 2 OUT jacks
	simultaneously.
	• You can listen to the source during
	recording, and the TX-8011’s
	VOLUME, BASS, TREBLE, and
	BALANCE controls have no effect
	on recording.
2	Start recording on the recorder
	connected to the TAPE 1 OUT
	or TAPE 2 OUT jacks.
3	Start playback on the source
	component.

Tape-to-tape Dubbing

By connecting a cassette recorder to the TAPE 2 OUT jacks, you can copy tapes from the cassette recorder that’s connected to the TAPE 1 IN jacks.

1	Prepare the cassette recorders.
2	Press the [TAPE 1] button.

3	Start recording on the cassette
	recorder that’s connected to the
	TAPE 2 OUT jacks, and start play-
	back on the cassette recorder
	that’s connected to the TAPE 1 IN
	jacks.

Note:

• You cannot copy from TAPE 2 to TAPE 1.

Monitoring While Recording

Normally, the sound you hear while recording is the sound input to the TX-8011. If you have a 3-head tape recorder (i.e., separate erase, record, and play heads), you can monitor the sound that’s just been recorded onto tape while recording is in progress. This allows you to adjust the recording level on the 3-head tape recorder and hear the result immediately.
