@) Open the cassette holder using the
EJECT button and insert the cassette
you want to record on.
@ Select the desired NR system, if you
want to make a dbx or Dolby NR
recording.
©)Set the AUTO MONITOR button to
SOURCE.
@)Press the PAUSE button, and then the
RECORD ( < or >) button. This will
enable you to adjust the recording
level without actually recording.
Use a signal from a tuner or amplifier
plugged into the LINE IN inputs, and
adjust the recording level using the
RECORD level controls.
@) From the "0 position, gradually in-
crease the recording level using the
RECORD level controls until the loudest
peak to be recorded just makes the
meters briefly reach reference readings
of approx. "0".
g) When everything is set up and ready to
go, set the tape in motion by pressing
the PAUSE button and AUTO MONITOR
will be changed to TAPE automatically.
(0) When you want to stop recording, press
the STOP button. If you intend to
continue recording but want to pause,
use the PAUSE button instead. In this
case, the record function will not be
cancelled and recording will resume
when the PAUSE button is pressed
again.
Special Techniques and Features
Setting the Recording Level
Setting the recording level correctly is
essential if you want to make top-quality
recordings. If the level is too low, the
recording will be noisy. If the level is set
too high, the recording will be distorted.
Generally speaking, the recording level
should be set so that the loudest peak to be
recorded make the meters briefly indicate
reference reading of approx. "0". If the
meters peak over the reference reading,
decrease the recording level by sliding the
RECORD level controls back, until the
loudest peak is retained (held) within the
reference reading. However, some program
material of different tape formulations may
require higher or lower recording levels.
With a little time and practice you will be
able to select that critical recording level
that gives you the best hi-fi recordings. The
type and condition of the tape, as well as
the type of music source you are recording
will affect the optimum settings of the
recording level.
Punch-in Recording
During playback, you can go from playback
mode to record mode by the RECORD
( 4 or > ) buttons. A new recording will
start from that location. Press the STOP
button to end the recording and stop the
tape transport.
This operation allows you to record over or
correct a recorded section of the tape
without pressing the STOP button first.
Multi-Counter Function
With the multi-counter facilities incorporat-
ed in the unit, there are two different
display modes available, depending on the
setting of the COUNTER MODE button.
Tape Counter Mode: The counter functions
as a conventional tape counter.
TRT Counter mode: The counter functions
as a tape-run-time counter, measuring tape
travel in minutes and seconds.
Using as a Tape Counter
Using the COUNTER MODE button, call up
the tape counter mode; a 4-digit display will
appear. Its function is identical to that of
conventional tape indexing counters. Dur-
ing forward recording (included record
muting), playback and fast-forward, the
counter counts upwards as the tape moves
from left to right, and downwards during
Teverse modes and rewind as the tape moves
from right to left. The indicated numerals
are not related to time lapse and are not
compatible with the counter readings of
other cassette decks. One typical example
of using this display in the conventional
tape counter mode is: First load a cassette
and before recording, press the CLEAR
button to reset the counter to "0000".
Then note the counter reading at the
beginning of each piece of music to facil-
itate locating a particular selection when
you wish to play it back.

Using as a TRT Counter
Using the COUNTER MODE button, call up
the tape-run-time mode; a colon appears
between the 2nd and 3rd digit. In this
mode, tape travel is measured in increasing
minutes and seconds while the tape is
running at normal speed during recording
(including record muting) and playback.
Counting stops during rewind and fast-
forward. This function can be used to
measure the approximate length of a re-
corded song or to make a calculated estima-
tion of how much tape is left.
"Visible" and "Invisible" Counters
Both counter modes are switchable at any
time, with the one selected appearing on the
display and the other functioning in mem-
ory. For example, when the conventional
tape counter is selected with the COUNTER
MODE button, counting of the tape-run-
time also takes place and its reading can be
called up at any time by pressing the COUN-
TER MODE button. Pressing the CLEAR
button resets only the counter which is
visible. Both counters, "visible and "'in-
visible" are reset when power is switched
off.
CPS (Computomatic Program Search)
(Refer to Fig. 5 on Page 64)
CPS allows playback to start up to 15 tunes
ahead or before that being played at present,
on either side of the cassette. Set the AUTO
REVERSE switch to c->, the deck to the
play, play-pause, record, record-pause or
stop mode and then press the CPS button.
Now depending on whether the desired tune
is located ahead or before the current
position of the tape, press the CPS button
repeatedly until the number of tunes you
want to skip is displayed in the CPS display.
lf you exceed the required number, press
CLEAR or MODE button to cancel the
number and re-do it again. When the
desired tune is set to enter CPS function,
press <4 or >> according to the desired tune
position you want to search. As the tape is
wound or rewound and the gaps between
tunes are detected, the number displayed
will be decremented by one until it reaches
zero, at which time playback will restart.
How to select a program (Refer to Fig. 5)
For instance, if you want to hear the third
selection (e.g. No. 13) on the tape from the
one (e.g. No. 10) that is currently being
played, you must indicate "CP 3", because
there are three intervals between the current
position of the tape and the selection you
want to hear.
If you want to hear the third selection (e.g.
No. 13) from the interval (e.g. between No.
10 & No. 11) where the tape is currently
positioned, you must indicate "CP 2",
because there are two intervals between that
selection and your current position. To
choose the third selection (e.g. No. 7)
