Note: At the start and end of cassette tapes, there is leader tape which cannot be recorded onto. Depend-
ing on the recording source, the first part of the recording may be missing because of the leader. When
recording CDs or radio broadcasts, to get the beginning of the recording on the tape, first wind on the
leader before beginning recording.
CAUTION: If recordings you have made have excessive noise or static,
the Unit may be 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
System.
Standard Recording
This is the basic method for recording any source. The System also has special ways for recording CD to
tape, and tape to tape, which save you time and effort, as well as give you some special effects. However,
when you need to add a selection to a tape you have made, or are combining selections from several
sources on one tape, use the method described below; just substitute the source you want into this
procedure, such as a tape in Deck A, a CD, or the Tuner. You can also record from auxiliary source with
this procedure.

Follow these steps to record from any sound source onto a tape in Deck B.
Using the Unit
