Recording

IMPORTANT:

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

• The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is

not affected by the VOLUME control and the
SUBWOOFER VOLUME control. Thus, during recording
you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to
without affecting the recording level.

• While recording, you can hear sound modes through the

speakers or headphones. However, the sound is recorded
without these effects (see page 10).

• If recordings you have made have excessive noise or static,

the unit may be too close to a TV. Increase the distance
between the TV and the unit.

• You can use type I and II tapes for recording.

To protect your recording

Cassettes have two small tabs on
the back to prevent accidental
erasure or re-recording.
To protect your recording,
remove these tabs.
To re-record on a protected tape, cover the holes with
adhesive tape.
When using type II tape, be careful not to cover the holes
used to detect the tape type.

To keep the best recording and playback sound quality

If the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers of the cassette decks
become dirty, the following will occur:
• Impaired sound quality
• Discontinuous sound
• Fading
• Incomplete erasure
• Difficulty in recording

To clean the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers

Use a cotton swab moistened with alcohol.

To demagnetize the heads

Turn off the unit, and use a head demagnetizer (available at
electronics and record shops).
