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 procedure is a little bit different and now we’ll explain just what to do for each one. If you forget, just come back to the section which has the specific procedures you need. But first, here are a few things to make your recordings better. Things to Know Before You Start Recording ——————— o o o o o o It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted material without the consent of the copyright owner. When you want to record onto both sides of a tape, you can set Reverse mode on to do so. However, recording automatically stops after recording in the 2 direction in Reverse mode. Therefore, make sure that the tape direction is 3 when recording with Reverse mode on. 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. 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 re-recording. To record on a cassette with the tabs removed, you must cover the holes with adhesive tape first. However, when a Type II tape is used, only cover part of the hole as shown, since the other part of the hole is used to detect the tape type. When recording, you can hear Sound Mode effects through the speakers or headphones. However, the sound is recorded without Sound Mode effects. Type I and Type II tapes can be used for recording. 20 EN01-28 MX-J10[E] 20 99.7.6, 11:39 AM English Note: At the start and end of cassette tapes, there is leader tape which cannot be recorded onto. Depending on the recording source, the first part of the recording may be missing because of the leader. When recording CDs or radio broadcasts, to get the beginning of the recording on the tape, first wind on the leader before beginning recording. CAUTION: If recordings you have made have excessive noise or static, the Unit may be 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 System. 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 auxiliary source with this procedure. Recording Any Sound Source to Tape ——————————— Follow these steps to record from any sound source onto a tape in Deck B. Using the Unit 1. Insert a blank or erasable tape into Deck B. 2. Press the REV. MODE button if you want to record on both sides of the tape. Press the button until the “ ” or “ ” indicator is lit. • When using Reverse Mode, insert the tape so that it will be recorded in the forwards 3 direction. 3. Check the recording direction for the tape. Check that the Tape Direction indicator is the same as that for the tape in the tape deck. If the directions are different, press the 7 button after pressing the TAPE ™ £ button to set the tape direction. • When using Reverse Mode to record both sides of a tape, check that the Tape Direction indicator is in the forwards 3 direction. If the direction indicator is not in the forwards 3 direction, press the TAPE ™ £ button then press the 7 button. 4. Prepare the source by for example, tuning in a radio station, loading CDs, or turning on connected equipment. 5. Press the REC START/STOP button. REC START/STOP The “REC” indicator light comes on and the System begins recording. Using the Remote Control 1. Insert a blank or erasable tape into Deck B. 2. Press the REV.

Press the 2 or 3 button. Recording starts in the direction of the button pressed. • When using Reverse Mode to record both sides of a tape, press the 3 button. Notes for using Reverse Mode for recording When recording in Reverse Mode, the System automatically stops when it reaches the end of the reverse 2 direction. To record on both sides of a tape, make sure that the recording direction for the tape inserted into Deck B is forwards 3, and that the Tape Direction indicator is also forwards 3, before you start recording. 21 EN01-28 MX-J10[E] 21 99.7.6, 11:39 AM Press the REC PAUSE button on the Remote Control. Then press either the 2 or 3 button on the Remote Control or REC START/STOP button on the Unit to restart recording.

Note: When making Sleep timer settings while doing CD Direct recording, set the time so that there is enough leeway to finish the recording before the power goes off. If the time is set to about the length of the CD, the power may go off before recording finishes. For CD Direct Recording using more than one disc, use a blank tape. If you use a prerecorded tape, prerecorded material may not be erased between newly-recorded tracks. Tape to Tape Recording (Dubbing) Recording from one tape to another is called dubbing. You can dub tapes simply, with just a single button. o When dubbing tapes, make sure that the playback direction of Deck A and Deck B are the same. o When you want to record both sides of a tape, press the REV.
