RECORDING (Deck II only)
RECORDING
1. Load a tape for recording in Deck II.
2. Set the DOLBY NR switch.

÷ To record on one side only, set the switch to
the O position. To record on both sides, set
the switch to the [ position.
4. Press the recording (÷) button.
5. Prepare the audio source from which you wish
to record. Turn on the stereo amplifier and pre-
pare it for playback of the desired audio source.
6. Adjust the recording level. For details, see “AD-
JUSTING THE RECORDING LEVEL” below.
7. Press the playback (3 or 2) button or the pause
(8) button to begin recording.
÷ When recording on both sides, press the 3
button. If the 2 button is pressed , recording
will stop after only one side is recorded.
To stop recording temporarily
Press the pause (8) button.
÷ To resume recording, either press the pause (8)
button again, or press the playback (3 or 2) but-
ton.
To Stop Recording
Press the stop (7) button.
Erasure prevention tabs
The recording (÷) button does not work when the
erasure prevention tabs of the loaded cassette tape
have been broken off (See page 6). Do not press the
recording (÷) button with unreasonable force. When
recording on both sides, make sure that both tabs
are intact.
ADJUSTING THE RECORDING LEVEL
The adjustment of the recording level is the most impor-
tant factor in achieving good recording results. A high
level provides a good signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic
range, but an excessively high level distorts the sound. If
the level is set too low for fear of sound distortion, irritat-
ing tape hiss will mar the recording. The characteristics of
tapes differ depending on the manufacturer and the type
of tape. Set the REC LEVEL control so that the level
meter’s “–3 dB” indicator lights steadily most of the time.
No harm will be done if the “0 dB” indicator lights mo-
mentarily at peaks. When recording without Dolby NR,
set the REC LEVEL control so that the “–3 dB” indicator
lights, and the “0 dB” indicator lights occasionally at
peaks.

NOTES:
÷
The optimal recording level may differ somewhat de-
pending on the audio source and type of tape used.
In order to obtain the best possible results, set the
recording level after actual testing. Listen to your re-
cordings, and adjust the level as necessary.
÷
The level meter may react differently during record-
ing and playback of the same tape. This is due to dif-
ferences in tape sensitivity, and creates no problem.
RECORDING MUTE
Use this function to create the 4.5-second blanks
needed for proper operation of the music search
function.
÷ Press the recording mute (•) button during recording
and the deck will create a blank space by recording
a section which contains no signal for approximately
4,5 seconds. The deck will then enter recording
standby mode.
÷ To create a blank which is more than 4,5 seconds
long, hold the button down for the desired length of
time. When the button is released, the deck will
enter recording standby mode.
÷ To resume recording, press the pause (8) button or
the playback (3 or 2) button.
