Recording
With the Arcam A85 it is possible to listen to and record from
one source, or to listen to one source while recording another.
Both sets of tape sockets are identical in sensitivity and
suitable for use with almost any type of recorder (cassette,
CDR, MD, VCR, reel-to-reel, etc.). The record signal is sent to
both the
TAPE and VCR output sockets.
RECORD
bk
To record the currently selected source, press RECORD until
the display shows ‘
RECORD SOURCE’. After a few seconds
the display reverts to showing the volume level and you are
ready to record.
To listen to one source while recording another, press
RECORD
again until the display shows ‘RECORD’ followed by the name
of an input (e.g. ‘AUX’, ‘CD’, ‘TUNER’, etc.). Now press the
source selector button on the front panel for the source you
wish to record. Your selection is shown on the display for a few
seconds, after which it reverts to showing the volume level and
you are ready to record.
The
RECORD button can also be used as a second zone
selector, sending a source signal at line level to a second
amplifi er operating in another room. If you need help with this,
contact your Arcam dealer or Arcam customer support.
Tape-to-tape copying (dubbing)
You can perform tape dubbing from VCR to TAPE, but not from
TAPE to VCR.
For example, to copy from a cassette recorder connected to
the VCR socket to a cassette recorder connected to the TAPE 1
socket, fi rst use the
RECORD button as explained above and
select ‘RECORD VCR’. This routes the VCR signal to the TAPE
output.
Set the cassette recorder connected to the
TAPE socket into its
record mode and the other to playback mode to start dubbing.
TAPE
5
To play back the recording from a cassette deck attached
to the TAPE 1 input, press TAPE. ‘TAPE 1’ is shown on
the display. Selecting this input overrides the other source
selectors.
It is also possible to monitor a recording while it is being made,
provided your cassette deck is a 3-head type. To do this, press
TAPE. Switching this button in/out allows an A/B comparison
between the source signal and the recorded signal.
