SPECIAL FEATURES
RECORDING AND DUBBING
You can record from any component connected to the
receiver/amplifier or dub (copy) cassette tapes.
Notes:
• Tape quality greatly affects the quality of the recording.
Your cassette deck can play Type I and Type II tape. We
recommend Radio Shack brand tapes.
• Before recording or dubbing, be sure the cassettes onto
which you want to record or dub have their erase-
protection tabs in place. To prevent accidental erasure
of a tape, remove the erase-protection tabs. For more
information, see “Erase-Protection Tabs.”
• To record at the beginning of a cassette, turn the
cassette’s hub with your finger or a pencil until the
dark part of the tape enters the opening in the edge of
the cassette. Before dubbing, position both tapes this
way.
Recording from Line-In Sources
To record from the device connected to the cassette deck’s
LINE INPUT jacks, follow these steps.
1. Press POWER to turn on the cassette deck.
2. Load a blank tape (or one you want to record
over) into Deck 2. Be sure the side you want
to record on is facing you and the full reel is
to the left.
3. Set DOLBY NR to IN to record with Dolby
Noise Reduction. See “Dolby Noise
Reduction.”
4. Press PAUSE on Deck 2.
5. Press RECORD. PLAY on Deck 2
automatically engages.
6. Play the loudest part of the selection you want
to record.
If the recording levels constantly peak in the +3 dB
range (or if the recording is distorted), set RECORD
LEVEL ATT
to IN. This reduces the input signal level.
7. To begin recording, press PAUSE on Deck 2.
8. To stop recording, press STOP/EJECT on
Deck 2.
Coping a Cassette Tape (Dubbing)
Notes:
• If the original recording has Dolby NR, the copy will
also have it, regardless of the position of DOLBY NR.
If the original does not have Dolby NR, you cannot
add it to the tape you are dubbing.
• Each deck automatically stops when the tape reaches
the end of the side. We recommend you dub onto a
tape that is the same length as the original, so the
decks stop at the same time.
To copy a cassette tape:
l. Press POWER to turn on the cassette deck.
2. Load the cassette tape you want to copy into
Deck 1. Be sure the side you want to copy is
facing you and the full reel is to the left.
3. Load a blank tape (or one you want to record
over) into Deck 2. Be sure the side you want
to record on is facing you and the full reel is
to the left.
4. Set DUBBING SPEED to:
NORM to dub at normal playback speed.
HIGH to dub at twice the normal speed.
5. Press PAUSE, then PLAY on Deck 1.
6. Press RECORD on Deck 2. PLAY on Deck 2
automatically engages, Deck 1 starts playing,
and dubbing begins.
7. Each deck automatically stops when the tape
reaches the end.
To manually stop dubbing, press STOP/EJECT on both
cassette decks.
