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 recoM, l_k)r each source, the procedure is a lilfle 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

13It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without the consent of the owner of copyright in the sound or video recording, broadcast or cable program and in any literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic content embodied therein.

i_ The recording level, which is the volume at which the new tape is being made, is automa/ically set correctly, so it is not affected by the VOLUME Control on the Syslem.

Also, it is not affected by adjusting the sound effects.

Thus, during recording, you can ac[just the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.

i_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.

/

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

i_ Type 1 tape can be used for recording.

• At the start and end of cassette tapes, there is leader tape which cannot be recorded

CDs, radio broadcasts, etc., onto.

wind

Thus, when on the leader recording tape first to ensure getting the beginning of the 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.

Standard Recording

'Ihis is the basic method for recoMing any source.

'Ihe Syslem also has special ways for recoMing 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 h-ore several som-ces 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 recoM from an external equipment with this procedure.

Timer Priority

Since each timer can be set independently, you may wonder whal happens if the settings overlap.

Hexe are the priorities for each timer:

The REC Timer always has priority.

'Ihis means thai:

• If other timer is set to come on during a time when the REC

Timer is operating, the other timer just won't come on at all, so you will always get the entire program on a tape.

• If the REC Timer is set to come on while other timer is operating, the other timer will turn off just before the REC 'I imer is set to turn on, and the REC Timer will then take over.

I_1If the SLEEP Timer is set while DALLY 'I imer is operating, the

DALLY Timer settings are cancelled.

However, if DAILY Timer is set to come on while the SLEEP 'Iimer is operating, the

SLEEP Timer sening will be cancelled and the System will use the settings from the DALLY Timer.
