Recording an Audio Source

CD
,

,
TUNER
, or
PHONO
—to the
VCR/TAPE 1
OUT
(audio) and
TAPE 2 MONI-
TOR REC
jacks (if you select
VCR/TAPE 1
or
LD/DVD
, the video program is also sent
to the
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, 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
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.”
