program are also sent to the

decks.
Dubbing a Cassette Tape
You can copy, or dub, a cassette tape from one cassette deck to another.
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

jacks as the source, and the deck you connected to the
TAPE 2
REC
jacks as the recording deck. Then press
TAPE 2 MONITOR
until
TAPE 2
and the last program source you selected appear on the display. See “Using the
