❏ Listening to type I tape is suitable for this Cassette Deck.

When both Deck A and Deck B contain a tape, the last deck to

have a tape inserted is selected.

The use of tapes longer than 120 minutes is not rec-

ommended, since characteristic deterioration may

occur and these tapes easily jam in the pinch-rollers

and the capstans.

The selected Deck is shown by the Deck indicator “A” or “B”.

For example, when the Deck A is selected, the Deck indicator

“A” lights up.

• To change the deck, press the TAPE A/B button. Each time

For simplicity, we show here only the items described in this section.

Recording onto a cassette from any of the sound sources is simple.

Just place a tape in Deck B, have the source ready, make one or

two settings, and you’re ready to record. For each source, the pro-

cedure is a little bit different so we explain each separately. But

first, here are a few things to make your recordings better.

• At the start and end of cassette tapes, there is leader tape

which cannot be recorded onto. Thus, when recording

CDs, radio broadcasts, etc., wind on the leader tape first

to ensure getting the beginning of the recording.

Things To Know Before You Start Recording

❏ It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record

pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without the con-

sent of the owner of copyright in the sound or video

recording, broadcast or cable program and in any lit-

erary, dramatic, musical, or artistic content embodied

therein.

❏ The recording level, which is the volume at which the new tape

is being made, is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected

by the VOLUME Control on the System. Also, it is not affected

by adjusting the sound effects. Thus, during recording, you can

adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting

the recording level.

CAUTION:

• If a recording you make has excessive noise or

static, the Unit may have been too close to a TV

which was on during the recording. Either turn

off the TV or increase the distance between the

TV and the Unit.

❏ Two small tabs on the back of the cassette tape, one for side A

and one for side B, can be removed to prevent accidental erasure

or recording.

Adhesive tape

❏ To record on a cassette with the tabs removed, you must cover

the holes with adhesive tape first.

❏ Type I tape can be used for recording.

Using the Cassette Deck (Recording)

Insert a blank or erasable tape into the Deck

B and wind past the tape leader.

Press the CD REC START button on the Unit.

“CD REC” appears on the display and the “REC” indicator

lights up. Then, the System begins CD Synchro Recording and

the tracks on the CD are recorded on the tape.

When recording of the tracks of all CDs is finished, “CD REC

FINISHED” scrolls on the display and the CD Player and Cas-

sette Deck stop.

Standard Recording

This is the basic method for recording any source. The System also

has special ways for recording CD to tape, and tape to tape, which

save you time and effort, as well as give you some special effects.

However, when you need to add a selection to a tape you have

made, or are combining selections from several sources on one

tape, use the method described below; just substitute the source

you want into this procedure, such as a tape in Deck A, a CD, or

the Tuner. You can also record from an external equipment with

this procedure.

(Recording start) (When finished)

To Record Any Sound Source to Tape

• If the tab of the cassette tape on the Deck B is removed to

prevent erasure or recording, "NO REC" will appear on the

display.

Follow these steps to record from any sound source onto a tape in

Deck B.

• After the CD Player has played the entire CD or all the pro-

grammed tracks, the tape automatically stops.

Insert a blank or erasable tape into the Deck

B and wind past the tape leader.

To stop at any time during the recording process, press

the REC START/STOP button on the Unit or the 7 button. “CD

REC FINISHED” scrolls on the display and the CD Player and

Cassette Deck stop.

• When making SLEEP timer settings while doing CD Syn-

chro recording, set enough time to allow for the CD to fin-

ish playing, otherwise the power will go off before

recording is completed.

Tape travelling direction

Prepare the source, by, for example, tuning

in a radio station, loading CDs, or turning on

connected equipment.

Setting the SLEEP Timer

Timer Priority

Use the Sleep Timer to turn the System off after a certain number

of minutes when it is playing. By setting the Sleep Timer, you can

fall asleep to music and know that your System will turn off by it-

self rather than play all night.

Since each timer can be set independently, you may wonder what

happens if the settings overlap. Here are the priorities for each timer:

The REC Timer always has priority. This means that:

• If other timer is set to come on during a time when the REC

Timer is operating, the other timer just won’t come on at all,

so you will always get the entire program on a tape.

• If the REC Timer is set to come on while other timer is oper-

ating, the other timer will turn off just before the REC Timer

is set to turn on, and the REC Timer will then take over.

• You can only set the Sleep Timer when the System is on.

Using the Remote Control

During playback a source, press the SLEEP

button.

❏ If the SLEEP Timer is set while DAILY Timer is operating, the

DAILY Timer settings are cancelled. However, if DAILY Tim-

er is set to come on while the SLEEP Timer is operating, the

SLEEP Timer setting will be cancelled and the System will use

the settings from the DAILY Timer.

The “SLEEP” indicator starts blinking on the display.

Set the length of time you want the source to

play before shutting off.

Each time you press the SLEEP button, the time length chang-

es as follows:

Example 1

10 =20 =30 =60 =90 =120 =Cancelled =(back to

Setting

the beginning)

OFF

REC Timer

SLEEP Timer

Wait for 5 seconds.

10:00PM 10:30PM 11:00PM

The “SLEEP” indicator stops blinking and remains lit, and the

display returns to the original one before setting the Sleep

Timer.

Operation

The System is now set to turn off after the number of minutes

you have set.

To Confirm the Sleep Time:

When the SLEEP button on the Remote Control is pressed, the re-

the original display.

To Cancel the SLEEP Timer Setting:

Press the SLEEP button on the Remote Control until the “SLEEP”

indicator goes out on the display.

The REC Timer has priority.

• Turning off the System also cancels the SLEEP Timer.

Care And Maintenance

Handle your CDs and tapes carefully, and they will last a long

time.

Cassette Tapes

• If the tape is loose in its cassette, take up

the slack by inserting a pencil in one of

the reels and rotating.

• If the tape is loose, it may get stretched,

cut, or caught in the cassette.

Compact Discs

• Only CDs bearing these marks can be

used with this System. However, contin-

ued use of irregular shape CDs (heart-

shape, octagonal, etc.) can damage the

System.

Recordable

• Do not touch the tape surface.

ReWritable

• Do not store the tape:

- In dusty places

- In direct sunlight or heat

- In moist areas

- On a TV or speaker

- Near a magnet

• Remove the CD from its case by holding

it at the edges while pressing the case’s

center hole lightly.

• Do not touch the shiny surface of the

CD, or bend the CD.

Cassette Deck

• If the heads, capstans, and pinch-rollers of the Cassette Deck

become dirty, the following will occur:

- Loss of sound quality

- Discontinuous sound

- Fading

- Incomplete erasure

- Difficulty recording

• Clean the heads, capstans, and pinch-rollers using a cotton

swab moistened with alcohol.

• Put the CD back in its case after use to

prevent warping.

• Be careful not to scratch the surface of

the CD when placing it back in the case.

• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, tem-

perature extremes, and moisture.

• A dirty CD may not play correctly. If a

CD does become dirty, wipe it with a

soft cloth in a straight line from center to

edge.

Pinch-roller

Capstan

CAUTION:

• Do not use any solvent (for example, conven-

tional record cleaner, spray thinner, benzine,

etc.) to clean a CD.

Heads

General Notes

• If the heads become magnetized, the Unit will produce noise or

lose high frequencies.

• To demagnetize the heads, turn off the Unit, and use a head

demagnetizer (available at electronics and record shops).

In general, you will have the best performance by keeping your

CDs and the mechanism clean.

• Store CDs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on

shelves.

• Keep the System’s Top Cover closed when not in use.

Moisture Condensation

Moisture may condense on the lens inside

the System in the following cases:

• After turning on heating in the room.

• In a damp room.

• If the System is brought directly from a

cold to a warm place.

Should this occur, the System may mal-

function. In this case, leave the System

turned on for a few hours until the moisture

evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, and

then plug it in again.
