Using the Tape Deck 3
Making tape recordings
You can make tape recordings from any other compo-
nent in the system, and also from an external compo-
nent connected to the auxiliary inputs. If you're
recording from CD or MD, it’s usually most convenient
to use the synchro-recording feature (see Automatically
recording a CD or MD, opposite). For other sources, see
Recording other sources on page 10. To set the timer
for recording at a later time, see Recording using the
timer on page 11.
Once recording has started, you can't switch to another
component until either the recording has stopped, or
you pause the recording. So, for example, you can't
switch over to the tuner while you're recording a CD.
When recording, the volume, bass, treble and other
sound controls have no effect on the recording. This
means that you can record something with the volume
turned right down, if you want.
Before recording, check that the cassette erase tabs have
not been broken, and that the tape is either a type I
(normal position) or type II (high position/C

)—you
can't record on type IV (metal) tapes using this deck.
If you're recording from the start of a tape, it's a good
idea to wind the tape on a little so that you don't
accidently start recording over the leader tape. You can
either do this by hand, or load the tape into the deck and
play the tape for 5–6 seconds.
