RECORDING

Notes:

•Be sure the erase-protection tab for the cassette tape you want to record on is in place (see “Pre- venting Accidental Erasure” on Page 32).

•The recording level is preset. Adjusting E-BASS or VOLUME does not affect the recording level or sound quality.

Caution: Do not force down RECORD. This can damage the re- cording mechanism.

Dubbing Cassette Tapes

You can easily copy a tape by play- ing it in TAPE 2 and recording it onto another tape in TAPE 1. You can select between normal and high- speed dubbing, and you can monitor the tape as you dub it.

1.Load the cassette you want to copy from into TAPE 2 and a blank cassette, or one you want to record over, into TAPE 1.

2.On TAPE 1, press PAUSE then RECORD. PLAY on TAPE 1 auto- matically locks down.

3.On TAPE 2, press PLAY. PAUSE on TAPE 1 releases and the sys- tem begins recording from TAPE 2 to TAPE 1.

Note: To monitor the tape while it is being recorded, adjust VOL- UME to a comfortable listening level. (If you monitor the tape while high-speed dubbing, the sound is distorted.)

4.To record 1.8 times faster than normal recording (but at a lower sound quality), press HIGH SPEED DUBBING until the HIGH SPEED DUBBING indicator turns on.
