English

Deck indicators

*When the System is in use, the display shows other items as well. For simplicity, we show here only the items described in this section.

The Cassette Deck allows you to play, record, and dub audio tapes.

???Listening to type I tape is suitable for this Cassette Deck.

The use of tapes longer than 120minutes (including 120 minute tapes) is not recommended, since char- acteristic deterioration may occur and these tapes easily jam in the pinch-rollers and the capstans.

One Touch Play

By pressing the TAPE A 3or TAPE B 3button, the System will come on, and if a tape is in the deck, it will start to play. If no tape is loaded, ???NO TAPE??? appears on the display, the System will come on and wait for you to insert a tape, or select another func- tion.

Playing a Tape

You can use either Deck A or Deck B at a time for playback.

1 Press the 0 PUSH OPEN part for the deck you want to use.

2 When the cassette holder opens, put a cas- sette in, with the exposed part of the tape down, toward the base of the Unit.

The tape will travel from the left to right.

Using the Cassette Deck (Recording)

English

Deck indicators

REC indicator 3: Tape indicator

*When the System is in use, the display shows other items as well. For simplicity, we show here only the items described in this section.

Recording onto a cassette from any of the sound sources is simple. Just place a tape in Deck B, have the source ready, make one or two settings, and you???re ready to record. For each source, the pro- cedure is a little bit different so we explain each separately. But first, here are a few things to make your recordings better.

Things To Know Before You Start Recording

???It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted material without the consent of the copyright owner.

???The recording level, which is the volume at which the new tape is being made, is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the VOLUME Control on the System. Also, it is not affected by adjusting the sound effects. Thus, during recording, you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.

???Two small tabs on the back of the cassette tape, one for side A and one for side B, can be removed to prevent accidental erasure or recording.

CAUTION:

???If a recording you make has excessive noise or static, the Unit may have been too close to a TV which was on during the recording. Either turn off the TV or increase the distance between the TV and the Unit.

Adhesive tape

???To record on a cassette with the tabs removed, you must cover the holes with adhesive tape first.

???Type I tape can be used for recording.

???At the start and end of cassette tapes, there is leader tape which cannot be recorded onto. Thus, when recording CDs, radio broadcasts, etc., wind on the leader tape first to ensure getting the beginning of the recording.

17

Using the Cassette Deck (Recording)

Standard Recording

This is the basic method for recording any source. The System also has special ways for recording CD to tape, and tape to tape, which save you time and effort, as well as give you some special effects. However, when you need to add a selection to a tape you have made, or are combining selections from several sources on one tape, use the method described below; just substitute the source you want into this procedure, such as a tape in Deck A, a CD, or the Tuner. You can also record from an external equipment with this procedure.

To Record Any Sound Source to Tape

Follow these steps to record from any sound source onto a tape in Deck B.

2 Insert a blank or erasable tape into the Deck B and wind past the tape leader.

3 Press the CD REC START button on the Unit.

???CD REC??? appears on the display and the ???REC??? indicator lights up and the Tape indicator (3) blinks. Then, the System begins CD Synchro Recording and the tracks on the CD are re- corded on the tape.

When recording of the tracks of all CDs is finished, the CD Player and Cassette Deck stop.

???If the tab of the cassette tape on the Deck B is removed to prevent erasure or recording, ???NO REC??? will appear on the display.

???After the CD Player has played the entire CD or all the pro- grammed tracks, the tape automatically stops.

To stop at any time during the recording process, press the 7button. The CD Player and the Cassette Deck will be stopped.
