4 − Recording

NOTE

Be careful not to press play key whose arrow points in the same direction as the indicator. Doing so will start playback.

You don’t need to adjust the recording level or set the Dolby NR system, as both depend on the pre-recorded source tape.

4Press the SYNC REV key.The SYNC REV indicator will light on the display.

The SYNC REV key does not work if the reverse mode is set to any positions other than Ë or if the transport direction of both decks is not set to forward (˙).

5Press either DUB START key to start dubbing.

For normal speed dubbing, press the NORMAL key. For high-speed dubbing, press the HIGH key.

High-speed dubbing makes a copy at approximate- ly two times the normal speed. We recommend normal speed dubbing for best audio quality.

During dubbing, either the NORM DUB or HIGH DUB indicator lights steadily on the display.

During normal speed dubbing, only the following keys work:

TAPE 1 deck: STOP

TAPE 2 deck: PAUSE, REC MUTE, STOP

During high-speed dubbing, only the STOP key (ª) works.

Pressing the STOP key (ª) on either deck stops both tapes at once.

Neither DUB START key works immediately after the tape is fast-forwarded or rewound to the end. Wait for 5 seconds or more before pressing the key.

NOTE

During dubbing, the pitch control does not work.

Recording level adjustment is not necessary for dubbing, as the recording level is set to the lev- el of the pre-recorded tape. Operating the REC LEVEL control, before or after starting dubbing, has no effect at all.

If a nearby television set is switched on during high-speed dubbing, a high-pitched interfer- ence noise may be recorded on the tape. To avoid this, either perform dubbing at normal speed, or turn off the television.
