Preparing to make a recording

If you wish to obtain optimum results when making a recording, it is important that you carry out the following procedure every time:

a) Calibrate the tape material (ATC)

b) Set the recording level accurately

c) Adjust the balance

d) Correct the bias setting if necessary

After a long press on the button the ATC circuit checks the tape in the cassette, and adjusts the machine for a perfectly linear frequency response. The processes b - c can be carried out during the recording as well during "record ready mode".

f) Switch the CC 820 M to "record ready mode" (press the button briefly)

The CC 820 M records the signal of the current auditioning source.

Exception:

If TAPE 1 is the current auditioning source, the system selects that source which was active before switching to TAPE 1.

Note:

If your M-system includes a DD 820 M and you select TAPE 1 as source, you may need to press the button before the signal to be recorded is present at the input of the CC 820 M.

Note:

To avoid the risk of switching to an incorrect source, only the sources TAPE 1 and the recording source can be selected during the recording process, and when you are preparing to record.

During recording preparations and the actual recording process the screen displays the VU meter at bottom right below the digital tape counter; this is needed to set the correct recording level.

To warn you that recording mode is selected, the LED above the button and the red REC indicator on the PT 820 M light up; this also flashes to indicate the operating mode Record + PAUSE. The tape direction indicator () shows the current tape side.

According to the diagram below you can now cycle through the processes of recording level, balance, manual bias correction and back to "record ready mode" by repeatedly pressing the button.

Pressing the button ends the PREPARING process immediately.
