Parallel Recording

This function allows you to record the same material simultaneously on both TAPE I and TAPE II.

Load tapes into both decks and press the PARALLEL REC button to start recording.

<Before starting recording, check and correct the following by performing steps 1 - 7 on page 16.

Record direction, Reverse mode setting, Dolby NR setting, Recording level, etc.

When everything is ready, get back into stop mode if the deck is in another mode.

<During parallel recording, the PARALLEL indicator is lit on the display.

<During parallel recording, only the following buttons work:

TAEP I deck: Stop (H)

TAPE II deck: PAUSE, REC MUTE, stop (H)

<Pressing the stop button (H) on either deck stops both tapes at once.

1Insert a cassette tape for playback into the TAPE I compartment and a cassette tape for recording into the TAPE II compartment.

2Set the tape transport direction on both decks.

If the play/record direction indicator (h or y) on the display points in the direction opposite to the one desired, press the PAUSE button followed play button (h or y) corresponding to the desired direction.

After changing the tape transport direction, be sure to press the stop button (H) to get out of the pause mode.

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

<Set the REV MODE switch as required.

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

3Press either DUB START button to start dubbing.

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

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