ENGLISH

To stop dubbing

Press the &button. (If you press the &button on DECK B, both decks stop simultaneously and the dubbing mode is cancelled. If you press the &button on DECK A, DECK A stops immediately and then DECK B stops after recording a 4-second blank section.)

When the tape in DECK B reaches its end, DECK B stops and then DECK A stops.

When the tape in DECK A reaches its end, DECK A stops and DECK B stops after providing a blank section of about 4 seconds.

Available operations while dubbing

The Rec Return function can be carried out on DECK B. Refer to “REC RETURN OPERATION” on the previous page.

Note

During dubbing, Dolby NR is automatically set to off and the recorded tape can be dubbed as is. (When the tape to be dubbed is recorded with Dolby NR, this effect is also dubbed.)

PLAY TRIM control adjustment (KX-W421 only)

For normal use, set the PLAY TRIM control to the center position.

When the high frequencies sound is too noticeable or too weak while monitoring the sound of DECK B, compensate the high frequency response with the PLAY TRIM control before dubbing. The compensated sound can be dubbed onto DECK B.

As the compensation result depends on the quality of the tape loaded in DECK A, the monitored sound cannot be recorded as it is.

Refer to “PLAY TRIM CONTROL ADJUSTMENT” on page 9.
