To pause dubbing
The dubbing refers to the copy of the recorded contents of a tape to another tape (tape in Deck A
\ tape in Deck B).
Since this unit is not designed for recording with metal (TYPE IV) tapes, do not use metal tapes for recording.
1. The recording balance and recording level cannot be adjusted for dubbing.
2. The DOLBY NR is not active during dubbing.
The tape recorded by dubbing features the same NR system as the original tape in Deck A.
3. Noise from TV may interfere with dubbed sound if high-speed dubbing is executed near a TV set. To prevent this, install the system farther
from the TV set.
4. If the original tape was recorded at a high level, the sound quality may be degraded, if high-speed dubbing is used. In such a case, use normal-
speed dubbing.
