Making tape recordings (UK

model only)

You can make tape recordings from any other component in the system, and also from an external component connected to the auxiliary inputs. If you're recording from CD or the optional CD-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 auxiliary inputs, use the manual recording mode explained on page 29.

Once recording has started, you can't switch to another component 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.

Recording CDs

This feature makes recording a CD as simple as possible by automatically starting and stopping the CD and tape together. There are two modes: 1 track synchro records just a single track, then stops; all tracks synchro records the whole disc.

1Load a cassette into the tape deck.

In order to follow these instructions more easily, load the cassette with side A facing you.

2Check the recording direction.

If the tape direction indicator shows 3, then recording will start from side A. If it shows 2, then recording will start from side B.

If you need to change the direction, press TAPE twice, then

7.

3Set the auto-reverse mode.

If you set this to one-way, then recording will stop after reaching the end of the current side. If it's set to endless, then recording will continue onto the other side of the tape. However, if you start recording in the reverse direction, (2) only that side of the tape will be recorded.

For detailed instructions on setting the reverse mode, see page 27.

4Turn Dolby NR on or off as required.

Using Dolby NR improves the sound quality of tape recordings that are going to be played on Dolby NR equipped players. If the tape is not going to be played on a Dolby NR equipped player (or if you're not sure), you should leave Dolby NR off.

See page 27 for detailed instructions on switching Dolby NR on/off.
