Recording

With the Arcam A70 it is possible to listen and to record from one source, or to listen to one source while
recording another.
The record signal is sent to the

TAPE

output sockets. These sockets are suitable for use with almost any

type of recorder (cassette, CDR, MD, VCR, reel-to-reel, etc.).
To record the currently selected source, press the

SELECT

button to enter the menu system. Rotate the

Control knob clockwise until the display shows ‘

REC OUTPUT

’. Press

SELECT

. ‘

REC

’ is displayed, followed by

the current setting. Rotate the Control knob counter-clockwise until ‘

REC SOURCE

’ is displayed. After a few

seconds, the display reverts to showing the volume level and you are ready to record.
To listen to one source whilst recording another, press the

SELECT

button to enter the menu system.

Rotate the Control knob clockwise until the display shows ‘

REC OUTPUT

’. Press

SELECT

. ‘

REC

’ is displayed,

followed by the current setting (for example, ‘

REC TUNER

’). Rotate the Control knob until the desired

source is displayed. After a few seconds the display reverts to showing the volume level and you are
ready to record.
The unit now sends the selected source (‘Tuner’ in the example above) to the

TAPE OUT

sockets while

you listen to the same or an alternative source.

TAPE button operation

To play back the recording from a cassette deck attached to the

TAPE

input, press

TAPE

. ‘

TP–

’ followed

by a two-letter abbreviation of the record out source is shown on the display (e.g. ‘

TP–CD

’). Selecting this

input overrides the other source selectors.
If the current record out is set to ‘

REC SOURCE

’ then the previous selected source is shown on the display.

Pressing different source buttons on the front panel only changes the record output.
Tape mode can be exited by pressing

TAPE

again.

It is also possible to monitor a recording while it is being made, provided your cassette deck is a 3-head
type. To do this, press

TAPE

. Switching this button in/out allows an A/B comparison between the source

signal and the recorded signal.
