CASSETTE DECK OPERATION

The System 734 has a dual cassette deck system which lets you automati- cally play one side of two cassette tapes consecutively, record from the CD changer, record one cassette tape onto another, and more.

Notes:

•The remote control does not oper- ate the System 734’s cassette deck.

•The System 734’s Automatic Level Control (ALC) feature auto- matically adjusts the recording level. The VOLUME, E-BASS, and

ROCK, POP, or CLASSIC settings have no effect on the recording.

•Tape quality greatly affects the quality of the recording. We rec- ommend regular length (60- or 90- minute) cassette tapes. We do not recommend long-play cassette tapes, such as C-120s, because they are thin and can easily tangle in the cassette mechanism. For low-noise, wide-range recordings, use normal-bias tape.

•Before you load a cassette tape for recording, turn the cassette’s hub with your finger or a pencil to take up any slack and move the tape past its leader. (Avoid touch- ing the tape with your fingers.)

•Before recording, be sure the cas- sette tape’s erase-protection tabs are in place. See “Preventing Accidental Erasure.”
