Recording

Synchro reverse dubbing (from TAPE I to TAPE II)

When you use this dubbing function and a shorter tape reaches the end of side “A”, it momentarily stops until the other tape reaches the end of side “A”. Then both tapes automatically switch over to side “B” and recording and playback re-start simultaneously.

If TAPE I is shorter than TAPE II

When TAPE I reaches the end of side “A”, TAPE I stops and TAPE II enters the “blank recording” mode.

When TAPE II reaches the end, both TAPE I and II are reversed simultaneously. TAPE I starts playback and TAPE II resumes recording.

When TAPE I reaches the end of side “B”, both TAPE I and II stop simultaneously.

If TAPE II is longer than TAPE I

When TAPE II reaches the end of side “A”, TAPE II enters the record- pause mode, while TAPE I continues playback.

When TAPE I reaches the end, both TAPE I and II are reversed simultaneously. TAPE I starts playback and TAPE II resumes recording.

When TAPE II reaches the end of side “B”, both TAPE I and II stop simultaneously.

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

Side “A” facing you

3Check the recording direction of both decks.

If the reverse direction indicator (h) lights on the display, press the PAUSE key followed by the forward PLAY (y) key. Then, be sure to press the STOP (H) key to get out of the pause mode.

NOTE

<Be careful not to press the PLAY (h or y) key whose arrow points in the same direction as the indicator. Doing so will start playback.

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

4Press the SYNC REVERSE key.

The SYNC REV indicator will light on the display.

The SYNC REVERSE key does not work if the reverse mode is set to any positions other than jor if the transport direction of both decks is set to reverse (h).

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 approximately 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 I deck

: STOP (H)

TAPE II deck

: PAUSE, REC MUTE, STOP (H)

During high-speed dubbing, only the STOP (H) key works. Pressing the STOP (H) key 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 notwork.

<Recording level adjustment is not necessary for dubbing, as the recording level is set to the level 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 interference noise may be recorded on the tape. To avoid this, either perform dubbing at normal speed, or turn off the television.
