Using the Cassette Deck  (Recording)

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 each to explained separately. But

first, here are a few things to make your recordings better.

Things To Know Before You Start Recording 

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

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.

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.

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.
