Making Tape Recordings

You can make tape recordings from any other component in the system, and also from an external component connected to the AUX/CD-R inputs. If you're recording from CD or the optional MD recorder, it's usually most convenient to use the synchro-recording mode. This makes the process largely automatic with the system starting and stopping the recording for you. Detailed instructions for this are below. If you're recording from the tuner or from a component connected to the AUX/CD-R inputs, use the manual recording mode explained on page 54.

Once recording has started, you can't switch to another compo- nent until either the recording has stopped, or you pause the recording. So, for example, you can't switch over to the tuner while you're recording a CD.

Unlike some tape decks, there's no need to set recording levels — the deck sets the right level automatically. Also, when recording, the volume, tone and balance controls have no effect on the recording. This means that you can record something with the volume turned right down, if you want.

Before recording, check that the cassette erase tabs have not been broken, and that the tape is either a type I (normal position) or type II (high position/CrO2) — you can't record on type IV (metal) tapes using this deck.

If you're recording from the start of a tape, it's a good idea to wind the tape on a little so that you don't accidently start recording over the leader tape. You can either do this by hand, or load the tape into the deck and play the tape for 5– 6 seconds.

dÕenregistrements

 

 

Vous pouvez effectuer des enregistrements depuis n’importe quel

 

élément de la chaîne et depuis un appareil raccordé aux entrées

 

AUX/CD-R. Si vous enregistrez depuis un CD ou l’enregistreur MD

 

proposé en option, il sera plus pratique d’utiliser le mode

 

d’enregistrement synchronisé. L’enregistrement commencera et

 

s’arrêtera automatiquement. Vous trouverez des informations

 

détaillées à ce sujet aux pages suivantes. Si vous enregistrez depuis

 

la radio ou un appareil raccordé aux entrées AUX/CD-R, utilisez le

 

mode d’enregistrement manuel expliqué à la page 54.

 

Lorsque l’enregistrement a commencé, vous pouvez mettre un

 

autre appareil en service jusqu’à ce que l’enregistrement s’arrête

 

ou jusqu’à ce que vous l’interrompiez. Par exemple, vous pouvez

 

écouter la radio tout en enregistrant un CD.

 

Contrairement à certaines platines à cassette, il est inutile de régler

 

les niveaux d’enregistrement, car la platine les règle

 

automatiquement. En outre, pendant l’enregistrement les réglages

 

de volume, de timbre et de balance n’ont aucun effet sur

 

l’enregistrement. Vous pouvez donc enregistrer quelque chose en

 

réduisant au minimum le volume, par exemple.

 

Avant d’enregistrer, vérifiez si les taquets de protection de la

 

cassette ont été enlevés et si la cassette est de type I (position

 

Normal) ou type II (position High/CrO2). Vous ne pouvez pas

 

enregistrer sur des cassettes de type IV (métal) sur cette platine.

 

Si vous enregistrez depuis le début de la cassette, avancez un peu

 

la bande pour que l’enregistrement ne commence pas sur

 

l’amorce de la bande. Vous pouvez le faire à la main ou insérer la

 

cassette et la laisser tourner pendant 5 ou 6 secondes.
