Making tape recordings
Manual recording to cassette
You can make tape recordings from the radio,
CDs, or from an external component
connected to the auxiliary inputs.
1
Unlike some tape decks, there’s no need to set
recording levels; the deck sets the level
automatically. When recording, the volume (as
well as all other sound processing features
2
)
has no effect on the recording. This means that
you can record something with the volume
turned right down if you want.
1 Press TAPE then load a cassette into the
tape deck.
In order to follow these instructions more
easily, load the cassette
3
with side A facing up,
then use the front panel controls.
2 Check the recording direction.
If you start recording in the
direction, both
sides of the tape can be recorded (unless the
erase protect tab for side B is missing). If you
switch sides and start recording in the
direction, then recording will start from side B
and stop when the end of the tape is reached.
If you need to change the direction, press
(
) twice, then
(stop).
3 Set the reverse mode (page 16).
•
(record one side only)
• or (record both sides if recording
starts in the
(forward) direction, or one
side if recording starts in the
(reverse)
direction)
4 Select the source you want to record.
For example, press
TUNER
(
FM/AM
) to record
from the radio. If you’ve selected a CD, make
sure that it’s stopped. You can’t record while
TAPE
is selected.
5 Prepare the source for recording.
For example, tune in the radio station.
4
6 Press REC/STOP (front panel only).
The
REC
indicator lights in the display and the
deck starts recording.
7 Start the source playing (if necessary).
8 When you’re ready to stop recording,
press REC/STOP again.
Tip
• If you find that you’re getting noisy
recordings from an AM radio station, see
Using the System Setup menu
on page 33
to change the beat cut mode.
Note
1 Once recording has started, you can’t switch to another component until recording has stopped. So, for example, you can’t
switch over to the tuner while you’re recording a CD.
2 During recording, sound processing features (such as the sound menu settings, SFC effects, karaoke features and the bass
boost) are not available.
3• Before recording, check that the cassette erase-protect tabs have not been broken, and that the tape is Type I (normal posi-
tion). You can’t record on Type II (high/CrO2) or IV (metal) tapes using this deck.
• If you’re recording from the start of a tape, it’s a good idea to wind the tape on a little so that you don’t accidently start re-
cording over the leader tape. You can either do this by hand, or load the tape into the deck and play the tape for 5–6 seconds.
4 Once recording has started, you won’t be able to change the frequency (or use the tuner features such as FM mono).
