RECORDING

With the C30 it is possible to listen to and record from one source, or
to listen to one source while recording another.
Both sets of tape sockets are identical in sensitivity and suitable for use
with almost any type of recorder (cassette, CDR, MD, VCR, reel-to-
reel, etc.). The record signal is sent to both the

TAPE

and

VCR

output

sockets.
RECORD

To record the currently selected source, press

RECORD

until the display

shows ‘RECORD SOURCE’. After a few seconds the display reverts to
showing the volume level and you are ready to record.
To listen to one source while recording another, press

RECORD

again

until the display shows ‘RECORD’ followed by the name of an input (e.g.
‘AUX’, ‘CD’, ‘TUNER’, etc.). Now press the source selector button on the
front panel for the source you wish to record. Your selection is shown
on the display for a few seconds, after which it reverts to showing the
volume level and you are ready to record.
The

RECORD

button can also be used as a second zone selector, sending

a source signal at line level to a second amplifier operating in another
room. If you need help with this, contact your Arcam dealer or Arcam
customer support.
