SPECIAL FEATURES

RECORDING AND DUBBING

You can record from any component connected to the receiver/amplifier or dub (copy) cassette tapes.

Notes:

•Tape quality greatly affects the quality of the recording. Your cassette deck can play Type I, Type II, and Type IV tape. We recommend Radio Shack brand tapes.

•Before recording or dubbing, be sure the cassettes onto which you want to record or dub have their erase-protection tabs in place. To prevent accidental erasure of a tape, remove the erase- protection tabs. For more information, see “Erase- Protection Tabs.”

•To record at the beginning of a cassette, turn the cassette’s hub with your finger or a pencil until the dark part of the tape enters the opening in the edge of the cassette. Before dubbing, position both tapes this way to prevent missing recording material at the very beginning of a tape.

Recording from Line-In Sources

To record from the device connected to the cassette deck’s LINE INPUT jacks, follow these steps.

1.Press POWER to turn on the cassette deck.

2.Load a blank tape (or one you want to record over) into Deck 2. Be sure the side you want to record on is facing you and the full reel is to the left.

3.Press 3 on Deck 2 to set the tape direction and then press 7 .

4.Set DOLBY NR for the noise-reduction system you want to use. See “Dolby Noise Reduction” on Page 7.

5.Set REV MODE. See “Loading and Playing a Cassette Tape.”

6.Press RECORD(¦). The cassette deck enters the record pause mode.

7.Play the loudest part of the selection you want

to record.

Set REC LEVEL so the LEVEL meter goes to -3 dB most of the time and to 0 dB at peaks. This gives the recording a high signal-to-noise ratio with minimum distortion.

8.Start the source you want to record, then press 3 on Deck 2 to begin recording.

9.To stop recording, press 7 on Deck 2.
