Dubbing (from TAPE 1 to TAPE 2)
1. Insert a cassette tape for playback into the
TAPE 1 compartment and a cassette tape for
recording into the TAPE 2 compartment.
Side “A” facing you
2. Set the tape transport direction on both decks.
If the play/record direction indicator (
˙
/
¥
) on the
display points in the direction opposite to the one
desired, press the
PAUSE
key followed play key
(
˙
or
¥
) corresponding to the desired direction.
After changing the tape transport direction, be
sure to press the
STOP
key (
H
) to get out of the
pause mode.
NOTE
Be careful not to press play key whose arrow
points in the same direction as the indicator.
Doing so will start playback.
Set the REV MODE switch as required.
You don’t need to adjust the recording level or
set the Dolby NR system, as both depend on the
pre-recorded source tape.

3. Press either
DUB START
key to start dubbing.
For normal speed dubbing, press the
NORMAL
key. For high-speed dubbing, press the
HIGH
key.
NOTE
High-speed dubbing makes a copy at approxi-
mately two times the normal speed. We rec-
ommend normal speed dubbing for best audio
quality.
During dubbing, either the
NORM DUB
or
HIGH DUB
indicator lights steadily on the display.
During normal speed dubbing, only the following
keys work:
TAPE 1 deck:
STOP
TAPE 2 deck:
PAUSE
,
REC MUTE
,
STOP
During high-speed dubbing, only the
STOP
key
(
H
) works.
Pressing the
STOP
key (
H
) on either deck stops
both tapes at once.
Neither
DUB START
key works immediately after
the tape is fast-forwarded or rewound to the end.
Wait for 5 seconds or more before pressing the
key.
NOTE
During dubbing, the pitch control does not
work.
Recording level adjustment is not necessary for
dubbing, as the recording level is set to the lev-
el of the pre-recorded tape. Operating the
REC
LEVEL
control, before or after starting dubbing,
has no effect at all.
If a nearby television set is switched on during
high-speed dubbing, a high-pitched interfer-
ence noise may be recorded on the tape. To
avoid this, either perform dubbing at normal
speed, or turn off the television.
