Introduction to tape recordings
You can make tape recordings from the radio or a disc
loaded in the player, or from an external component
connected to the auxiliary inputs. If you're recording
from CD it may be more convenient to use synchro
recording— see Automatically recording from a CD
starting on the following page.
Once recording has started, you can't switch to another
component until recording has stopped. So, for
example, you can't switch over to the tuner while you're
recording a CD.
Unlike some tape decks, there's no need to set recording
levels; the deck sets the level automatically. When
recording, the volume and sound settings 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-protect
tabs have not been broken, and that the tape is Type I
(normal position); you can't record on Type II (high
position/C

) or 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.
