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 1, 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 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 the 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—
TAPE 2 MONITOR, DVD/TV, LD/SAT, CD, TUNER, PHONO, or VIDEO — to the VCR/TAPE 1
OUT (audio) and TAPE 2 MONITOR REC jacks.
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 the VCR/TAPE 1 jacks as the source, and the deck you connected to the TAPE 2 jacks as the recording deck. Then press TAPE 2 MONITOR so TAPE 2 appears on the display to hear the recording. See “Using the VCR/TAPE 1 and TAPE 2 Monitor Buttons.”
Note: The VOLUME, BALANCE, and tone controls do not affect the signal going to the tape decks.
