Synchro-Recording With a CD Player Through a Monaural (2P) Mini-plug Cord (TC-WE525/ WE425 only)

By pressing SYNCHRO, you can perform synchro- recording on your tape deck with a Sony CD player connected to the CONTROL A1 connector through an optional monaural (2P) mini-plug cord (connecting cord for CONTROL A1) (see page 4). The monaural (2P) mini-plug cord supports advanced functions not possible with the commander-based CD synchro- recording function on previous models. Further information on the various operations made possible by a monaural (2P) mini-plug cord is provided in the pamphlet attached to this manual.

zLength of tape used for recording

Tracks on a CD differ in length. Classical music CDs and others often have tracks that exceed the recording time of a single cassette side. In this case, record the tape manually.

zWhen recording from the middle of the tape

A tape that is inserted and has not been played or recorded on is assumed by the deck to be a new tape, even if the present location is in the middle of the tape. The deck will transport the tape for 10 seconds before starting CD Synchro-Recording to bypass the portion corresponding with the leader. To begin CD Synchro- Recording without the ten-seconds delay, play or record on the tape for a few seconds before starting the CD Synchro-Recording procedure.
