Synchro reverse dubbing (from TAPE 1 to TAPE 2)
When you use this dubbing function and a shorter tape reaches the
end of side “A”, it momentarily stops until the other tape reaches the
end of side “A”. Then both tapes automatically switch over to side “B”
and recording and playback re-start simultaneously.
If TAPE 1 is shorter than TAPE 2
When TAPE 1 reaches the end of side “A”, TAPE 1 stops and TAPE 2
enters the “blank recording” mode.
When TAPE 2 reaches the end, both TAPE 1 and 2 are reversed
simultaneously. TAPE 1 starts playback and TAPE 2 resumes
recording.
When TAPE 1 reaches the end of side “B”, both TAPE 1 and 2 stop
simultaneously.
If TAPE 2 is shorter than TAPE 1
When TAPE 2 reaches the end of side “A”, TAPE 2 enters the record-
pause mode, while TAPE 1 continues playback.
When TAPE 1 reaches the end, both TAPE 1 and 2 are reversed
simultaneously. TAPE 1 starts playback and TAPE 2 resumes
recording.
When TAPE 2 reaches the end of side “B”, both TAPE 1 and 2 stop
simultaneously.

Check the recording direction of both decks.
If the reverse direction indicator (h) lights on the display, press
the PAUSE key followed by the forward PLAY (y) key. Then, be
sure to press the STOP (H) key to get out of the pause mode.
NOTE
o Be careful not to press the PLAY (h or y) key whose arrow
points in the same direction as the indicator. Doing so will start
playback.

Press the SYNC REVERSE key.
The SYNC REV indicator will light on the display.
The SYNC REVERSE key does not work if the reverse mode is

Press either DUB START key to start dubbing.

dubbing start dubbing start
For normal speed dubbing, press the NORMAL key. For high-
speed dubbing, press the HIGH key.
High-speed dubbing makes a copy at approximately two times
the normal speed. We recommend normal speed dubbing for
best audio quality.
During dubbing, either the NORM DUB or HIGH DUB indicator lights
steadily on the display.
During normal speed dubbing, only the following keys work:
TAPE 1 deck : STOP (H)
TAPE 2 deck : PAUSE, REC MUTE, STOP (H)
During high-speed dubbing, only the STOP (H) key works.
Pressing the STOP (H) key on either deck stops both tapes at
once.
Neither DUB START key works immediately after the tape is fast-
forwarded or rewound to the end. Wait for 5 seconds or more
before pressing the key.
NOTE
o During dubbing, the pitch control does not work.
o Recording level adjustment is not necessary for dubbing, as
the recording level is set to the level of the pre-recorded tape.
Operating the INPUT control, before or after starting dubbing, has
no effect at all.
o If a nearby television set is switched on during high-speed dub-
bing, a high-pitched interference noise may be recorded on the
tape. To avoid this, either perform dubbing at normal speed, or
turn off the television.
