Cassette Deck/VCR Features
You can connect two cassette decks to the receiver. Selecting either VCR/TAPE 1 or TAPE 2 MONITOR lets you hear the playback from the cassette deck you connected to the receiver’s corresponding (VCR/TAPE 1, TAPE 2 MONITOR) jacks.
Using the VCR/TAPE 1 Button
Press VCR/TAPE 1. VCR appears on the display. You hear the playback from the cassette deck or VCR you connected to the receiver’s VCR/TAPE 1 jacks.
Using the TAPE 2 MONITOR Button
Press TAPE 2 MONITOR. TAPE 2 appears on the display along with the last program source you selected. You can hear playback or monitor a recording from the cassette deck you connected to the receiver’s TAPE 2 MONITOR jacks.
The TAPE 2 REC jacks continue to output the previously selected source when you press TAPE 2 MONITOR.
To return to the previous source, press TAPE 2 MONITOR again so TAPE 2 dis- appears.
Notes:
•If you press TAPE 2 MONITOR when the cassette deck is neither playing nor recording, the receiver mutes the current audio source. To hear the audio source, press TAPE 2 MONITOR until TAPE 2 disappears from the display.
•Do not press TAPE 2 MONITOR while you are recording on the deck con- nected to TAPE 2 REC. If you do, the recording is interrupted for about 1 second.
Recording a Program Source The receiver sends the audio program source you select— VCR/TAPE 1, TAPE 2 MONITOR, LD, CD, TUNER, PHONO — to the VCR/TAPE 1 OUT (audio) and TAPE 2
MONITOR REC jacks.
The VOLUME control does not affect the level of the signal going to the tape decks.
