Cassette Deck/VCR Features
You can connect two cassette decks to the receiver. Selecting either VCR/
TAPE 1 or TAPE 2 MONITOR lets you hear the playback from the cassette
deck you connected to the receiver’s corresponding ( VCR/TAPE 1 or TAPE 2
MONITOR ) jacks.
Using the VCR/TAPE 1 and
TAPE 2 MONITOR Buttons Press VCR/TAPE 1 . VCR appears on the display. You hear the playback
from the cassette deck or VCR you connected to the receiver’s VCR/TAPE 1
IN jacks.
Press TAPE 2 MONITOR . TAPE 2 appears on the display along with the last
program source you selected. You can hear playback or monitor a
recording from the cassette deck you connected to the receiver’s
TAPE 2
MONITOR jacks. The TAPE 2 MONITOR REC jacks continue to output sound
from the previously selected source after you press TAPE 2 MONITOR .
To return to the previous source, press TAPE 2 MONITOR again so TAPE 2
disappears.
Notes:
• If you press TAPE 2 MONITOR when that cassette deck is neither play-
ing nor recording, the receiver mutes the current audio source. To
hear the audio source, press
TAPE 2 MONITOR so TAPE 2 disappears
from the display.
• Do not press TAPE 2 MONITOR while you are recording on the deck
connected to TAPE 2 MONITOR REC . Doing so interrupts the recording
for about 1 second.
Monitoring a
Program Source The receiver sends the audio of the program source you select— VCR/TAPE
1 , DVD/TV , LD/SAT , CD , FM/AM (tuner), or PHONO —to the VCR/TAPE 1 OUT/REC
(audio) and TAPE 2 MONITOR OUT/REC jacks. If you select VCR/TAPE 1, DVD/TV ,
or LD/SAT , the video program is sent to the VIDEO OUT TO MONITOR TV 1 and 2
jacks. The video program input from DVD/TV or LD/SAT is also sent to VCR1/
TAPE1REC video jack.
The VOLUME control does not affect the level of the signal going to the
tape decks.
Dubbing a Cassette Tape You can copy (dub) a cassette tape from one cassette deck to another
using the STAV-3780.
You can use either deck as the playback or recording deck. However, if
you want to monitor the cassette deck during dubbing, use the deck
connected to the
VCR/TAPE 1 jacks as the source, and the deck you con-
nected to the TAPE 2 REC jacks as the recording deck. Then press TAPE 2
MONITOR so TAPE 2 and the last program source you selected appear on
the display. See “Using the VCR/TAPE 1 and TAPE 2 MONITOR But-
tons.”
The VOLUME control does not affect the level of the signal going to the
tape decks.
