Dubbing tapes from the CD deck
To record from the internal CD deck:
1 Prepare for recording as described above (load a
tape, set the REV MODE, etc.).
2 Load the source CD disc into the unit with the re-
corded side down.
3 Use the
MENU
key to set the dubbing volume to
THRU
to bypass the input level control (see “Bypass-
ing the input level for dubbing” on page 24).
If you want to adjust the input volume, set the
DUB>VOL
menu to
ON
and use the left (tape)
INPUT
control to adjust the level of signals fed to the tape
from the CD player.
NOTE
If you want to record the tracks on the tape in a differ-
ent order from those on the disc, use the programmed
playback mode to rearrange the tracks (see “Program
playback” on page 17). Leave the disc in stop mode
when you have finished programming the order.
4 Press the
DUB 2
key.
If the tape is in stop mode,
the tape rewinds to the
beginning of the current side.
At the start of the tape, recording starts, but the CD
does not start playback for eight seconds. The
DUB
indicator flashes.
The CD starts playback after the eight seconds at
the start of the cassette. The
DUB
,
2
indicator lights
steadily.
If the tape is in record standby mode,
recording
starts immediately, and the CD starts playback im-
mediately. The
DUB
,
2
indicator lights.
The dubbing stops when playback reaches the end of the
CD, or when the tape reaches the end of its run (one side in
the case of single-sided (
Ä
) reverse mode, both sides in
the
Ë
reverse mode), whichever comes first.
Note that if the tape is set to auto-reverse, and the last item
recorded on one side of a tape was not completely recorded
before the tape was reversed, that item will be automati-
cally repeated.
Also note that when the tape automatically reverses, eight
seconds are used as non-recorded time at the beginning
of the second side (the tape is in record mode, but the CD
does not play back), again to allow for leader tape at the
start of the cassette.
The dubbing process can also be stopped manually with
the
STOP
key of the cassette deck or the CD deck. All
other transport keys are disabled.
NOTE
Dubbing is not possible if a cassette is not loaded, or
a CD is not loaded. It is not possible if the cassette is
write-protected, or if the CD is a recordable disc which
does not currently have any material recorded on it.
It is also not possible to enter the dubbing mode if the
tape is not in stop or record standby mode, or if the CD
is not in stop or pause mode.
Recording operations
Recording pre-recorded tapes, records, or other pub-lished
or broadcast material may infringe copyright laws. Check
before recording.
1 Set the
REV MODE
switch.
If you want to make a bi-directional recording, set
the
REV MODE
switch to the
Ë
or
ä
position.
Set to the
Ä
position if recording is to be made on
a single side of the tape.
2 Load a recordable cassette. Check that the safety
tabs on the spine of the cassette are in place. If they
have been broken off, block the holes with adhesive
tape.
3 Press the
INPUT 2 SEL
key to select either
LINE2
or
DISC
as a recording source.
When
DISC
is selected, the built-in CD player’s out-
put is selected as a source.
When
LINE2
is selected, the external signal from the
LINE 2
jacks is selected as a source.
4 Press the
RECORD
key. The deck enters record
standby mode and the indicators light up.
5 Play back the source, and adjust the recording level
using the tape deck’s
INPUT
level control so that
the loudest sound makes the meters briefly reach
around the “0 dB” point for normal or high-position
tapes (recording is not possible with metal tapes).
6 Press either the
PAUSE
or
PLAY
key to start recording.
To stop recording temporarily, press the
PAUSE
key. To restart recording, press either the
PAUSE
key or
PLAY
keys. If the
PLAY
key whose indica-
tor is unlit is pressed, the recording direction will
reverse, and the
PLAY
key must be pressed again to
restart recording.
7 To stop recording, press the
STOP
key.
