Cassette Deck/VCR Features
You can connect two cassette decks to the receiver. Selecting either
orlets you hear the playback from the cassette deck you con- nected to the receiver’s corresponding (VCR/TAPE 1or TAPE 2 MONITOR) jacks.
Using the VCR/TAPE 1 and TAPE 2 MONITOR Buttons
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 IN jacks.
Press TAPE 2 MONITOR. TAPE 2 appears on the display along with the last pro- gram 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
jacks continue to output sound from the previously selected source when you press TAPE 2 MONITOR.
To return to the previous source, press TAPE 2 MONITOR again so TAPE 2 disap- pears.
Notes:
| • If you press TAPE 2 MONITOR when that cassette deck is neither playing nor |
| recording, the receiver mutes the current audio source. To hear the audio |
| source, press TAPE 2 MONITOR so TAPE 2 disappears from the display. |
| • Do not press TAPE 2 MONITOR while you are recording on the deck con- |
| nected to TAPE 2 MONITOR REC. If you do, the recording is interrupted for |
| about 1 second. |

Recording an Audio Source | The receiver sends the audio of the program source you select— VCR/TAPE 1, |
| CD, LD/DVD, TUNER, or PHONO — to the VCR/TAPE 1 OUT (audio) and TAPE 2 MONI- |
| TOR REC jacks (if you select VCR/TAPE 1 or LD/DVD, the video program is also sent |
| to the TO MONITOR TV jack). |
| The VOLUME control does not affect the level of the signal going to the tape |
| decks. |
Dubbing a Cassette Tape
You can copy, or dub, a cassette tape from one cassette deck to another.
You can use either deck as the playback or recording deck. However, if you want to monitor the cassette deck during dubbing, use the deck connected to
thejacks as the source, and the deck you connected to the
REC jacks as the recording deck. Then press TAPE 2 MONITOR so TAPE 2 and the last program source you selected appear on the display. See “Using the VCR/ TAPE 1 and TAPE 2 MONITOR Buttons.”
