Cassette Deck/VCR Features
You can connect two cassette decks to the receiver. Selecting either
VCR/
TAPE 1
or
TAPE 2 MONITOR
lets you hear the playback from the cassette
deck you connected to the receiver’s corresponding (
VCR/TAPE 1
or
TAPE 2
MONITOR
) jacks.
Using the VCR/TAPE 1 and
TAPE 2 MONITOR Buttons
Press
VCR/TAPE 1
. VCR appears on the display. You hear the playback
from the cassette deck or VCR you connected to the receiver’s
VCR/TAPE 1
IN
jacks.
Press
TAPE 2 MONITOR
. TAPE 2 appears on the display along with the last
program source you selected. You can hear playback or monitor a
recording from the cassette deck you connected to the receiver’s
TAPE 2
MONITOR
jacks. The
TAPE 2 MONITOR REC
jacks continue to output sound
from the previously selected source after you press
TAPE 2 MONITOR
.
To return to the previous source, press

Notes:
• If you press
TAPE 2 MONITOR
when that cassette deck is neither play-
ing nor recording, the receiver mutes the current audio source. To

from the display.
• Do not press
TAPE 2 MONITOR
while you are recording on the deck
connected to
TAPE 2 MONITOR REC
. Doing so interrupts the recording
for about 1 second.
Monitoring a
Program Source
The receiver sends the audio of the program source you select—
VCR/TAPE
1
,
DVD/TV
,
LD/SAT
,
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,
DVD/TV
,
or
LD/SAT
, the video program is sent to the
VIDEO OUT TO MONITOR TV 1
and
2
jacks. The video program input from
DVD/TV
or
LD/SAT
is also sent to
VCR1/
TAPE1REC
video 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
using the STAV-3780.
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 con-
nected 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 But-
tons.”
The
VOLUME
control does not affect the level of the signal going to the
tape decks.
