about 1 second.
Monitoring a
Program Source
The receiver sends the audio of the program source you select—
VCR/TAPE 1
,
DVD/LD
,
CD
,
FM/AM
(tuner), or
PHONO
—to the
VCR/TAPE 1
OUT/REC
(audio) and
TAPE 2 MONITOR OUT/REC
jacks. If you select
VCR/TAPE 1
or
DVD/LD
, the video pro-
gram is also sent to the
VIDEO OUT TO MONITOR TV
jack.
The
VOLUME
control does not affect the level of the signal going to the tape
decks.
Dubbing a Cassette Tape
You can copy (dub) a cassette tape from one cassette deck to another through
the STAV-3770.
You can use either deck as the playback or recording deck. However, if you
want to monitor the cassette deck during dubbing, use the deck connected to
the
VCR/TAPE 1
jacks as the source, and the deck you connected to the
TAPE 2
REC
jacks as the recording deck. Then press
TAPE 2 MONITOR
so
TAPE
2
and the
last program source you selected appear on the display. See “Using the VCR/
TAPE 1 and TAPE 2 MONITOR Buttons.”
The
VOLUME
control does not affect the level of the signal going to the tape
decks.
