The Cassette Deck allows you to play, record and dub audio tapes.
o With Automatic Tape Detection, you can listen to Type I or II tapes without changing any settings.

The use of tapes longer than 120 minutes is not recommended, since characteristic deterioration may
occur and these tapes easily jam in the pinch-rollers and the capstans.

One Touch Play ——————————————————————

By pressing the TAPE ™ £ button (or the ™ or £ button on the Remote Control), the Unit will turn
on, “TAPE” appears on the display, and if a tape is in the deck, it will start to play. If no tape is loaded, the
Unit will turn on and wait for you to insert a tape, or select another function.

Regular Play
When the power is already on, you can use this basic procedure:

1. Press the 0 button for the deck you want to use.

2. When the cassette holder opens, put a cassette in, with the ex-
posed part of the tape down, toward the base of the System.
• If the cassette holder does not open, turn the power off, then back on and press the 0 button again.

18

Downloaded from [Link] manuals search engine

 3. Close the holder gently.
When both Deck A and Deck B contain a tape, the last deck to have a tape inserted is selected.
To change the selected deck, press the DECK A/B button. When using the Remote Control, press the
A or B button.

4. Press the TAPE ™ £ button (or ™ or £ button on the Remote

Control).
On the Unit: The tape play starts toward the direction currently selected.
On the Remote Control: The tape play starts toward the same direction as the button is pressed for.
• The Cassette Deck automatically stops when one side of a tape has finished playing.

To stop playing, press the 7 STOP button on the Unit (or the 7 button on the Remote Control).
To remove the tape, stop the tape, and press the 0 button.
To change deck while playing a tape, press the TAPE ™ £ button after pressing the DECK A/B
button on the Unit or press the ™ or £ button after pressing the A or B button on the Remote Control.

Fast Left And Fast Right——————————————————

o While the tape is stopped, press the 4/1 P. DOWN on the MULTI CONTROL (or 1 button on
the Remote Control) and the tape will wind rapidly to the left side of the cassette without playing.
o While the tape is stopped, press the ¢/¡ P. UP on the MULTI CONTROL (or ¡ button on the
Remote Control) and the tape will wind rapidly to the right side of the cassette without playing.

Note: Deck A and Deck B cannot be used for playback at the same time.

Music Scan
To find the beginning of a music track during play, use the Music Scan function. Music Scan searches for
blank portions that usually separate selections, then plays the next selection.

Finding the Beginning of the Current Selection —————

Press the 4/1 P. DOWN or ¢/¡ P. UP on the MULTI CONTROL (or
the 1 or ¡ button on the Remote Control) during play.
o Make sure that you press the 4/1 P. DOWN or ¢/¡ P. UP on the MULTI CONTROL (or the
1 or ¡ button on the Remote Control) in the opposite direction to that in which the tape is
playing. Searching stops at the beginning of the current selection, and the current selection starts
automatically.

Finding the Beginning of the Next Selection ———————

Press the 4/1 P. DOWN or ¢/¡ P. UP on the MULTI CONTROL (or
the 1 or ¡ button on the Remote Control) during play.
o Make sure that you press the 4/1 P. DOWN or ¢/¡ P. UP on the MULTI CONTROL (or the
1 or ¡ button on the Remote Control) in the same direction as that in which the tape is playing.
Searching stops at the beginning of the next selection, and the next selection starts automatically.

Music Scan works by detecting a 4-second long blank at the beginning of each selection,
so it will not work well if your tape has:
• No blank at the beginning of a selection .
• Noise (often caused by much use or poor quality dubbing) which fills the blank with noise.
• Long, very soft passages or pauses in a selection. The scan will detect these as 4-second long
blanks. If this happens, just scan again until you reach the selection you want.

Reverse Mode
You can play both sides of a cassette, or play both the tapes in the two Cassette Decks continuously.
Press the REVERSE MODE button to switch to Reverse Mode.
Each time you press the button, the Reverse Mode changes as follows:
= = (auto reverse mode) = (auto reverse mode) = (back to the beginning)

: The Cassette Deck automatically stops after playing one side of the tape.
: The Cassette Deck automatically stops after playing reverse (2) side of the tape being played (or
set to play).
: After playing both sides of the tape being played (or set to play), the Unit always checks to see if
a tape is in the other deck. If there is, it automatically starts playing that tape. This Continuous
Play function works regardless of which deck starts first. The tapes are played continuously until
the 7 STOP button on the Unit (or the 7 button on the Remote Control) is pressed.

Things to Know before You Start Recording ———————

o It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record pre-recorded tapes, records, or
discs without the consent of the owner of copyright in the sound or video recording,
broadcast or cable programme and in any literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic
embodied therein.
o When you want to record onto both sides of a tape, you can set the auto reverse mode on to do so.
However, recording automatically stops after recording in the 2 direction in the auto reverse mode.
Therefore, make sure that the tape direction is 3 when recording with the auto reverse mode on.
o 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. Thus, during recording you can
adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.
o 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 re-recording. To record on a cassette with the tabs removed, you must
cover the holes with adhesive tape first.
However, when a Type II tape is used, only cover part of the hole as shown, since the other part of the
hole is used to detect the tape type.
o When recording, you can hear Sound Mode effects through the speakers or headphones. However, the
sound is recorded without Sound Mode effects.
o Type I and Type II tapes can be used for recording.

Note: At the start and end of cassette tapes, there is leader tape which cannot be recorded onto. Depend-
ing on the recording source, the first part of the recording may be missing because of the leader. When
recording CDs or radio broadcasts, to get the beginning of the recording on the tape, first wind on the
leader before beginning recording.

20

Downloaded from [Link] manuals search engine

 CAUTION: If recordings you have made have excessive noise or static, the
Unit may be 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 System.

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 CD or the Tuner. You can also record from auxiliary source with this procedure.

Using the Unit

1. Insert a blank or erasable tape into Deck B.
2. Press the REVERSE MODE button if you want to record on both
sides of the tape.
Press the button until the “ ” or “ ” indicator is lit.
• When using the auto reverse mode, insert the tape so that it will be recorded in the forward (3)
direction.

3. Check the recording direction for the tape.

Check that the Tape Direction indicator is the same as that for the tape in the tape deck. If the
directions are different, press the 7 STOP button after pressing the TAPE ™ £ button to set the
tape direction.
• When using the auto reverse mode to record both sides of a tape, check that the Tape Direction
indicator is in the forward (3) direction. If the direction indicator is not in the forward (3)
direction, press the TAPE ™ £ button then press the 7 STOP button.

4. Prepare the source, for example, by tuning in a radio station, load-

ing CDs, or turning on connected equipment.
5. Press the REC START/STOP button.
The REC indicator lights up and the System begins recording.

Using the Remote Control

1. Insert a blank or erasable tape into Deck B.
2. Press the REVERSE MODE button on the Unit if you want to record
on both sides of the tape.
Press the button until the “ ” or “ ” indicator is lit.
• When using the auto reverse mode, insert the tape so that it will be recorded in the forward (3)
direction.

3. Prepare the source, for example, by tuning in a radio station, load-

ing CDs, or turning on connected equipment.
REC PAUSE
4. Press the REC PAUSE ¶ button.
The REC indicator blinks.

5. Press the ™ or £ button.

Recording starts in the direction of the button pressed.
The REC indicator stops blinking and remains lit.
• When using the auto reverse mode to record both sides of a tape, press the £ button.

Notes for using Reverse Mode for recording

When recording in Reverse Mode, the System automatically stops when it reaches the end of the reverse
(2) direction. To record on both sides of a tape, make sure that the recording direction for the tape
inserted into Deck B is forward (3), and that the Tape Direction indicator is also forward (3), before you
start recording.

Note: When making Sleep Timer settings while doing CD Direct recording, set the time so that there is
enough leeway to finish the recording before the power goes off. If the time is set to about the length of
the CD, the power may go off before recording finishes.

For CD Direct Recording using more than one disc, use a blank tape, If you use a prerecorded tape,
prerecorded material may not be erased between newly-recorded tracks.
