When the System is in use, the display shows other items as well.
For simplicity, we show here only the items described in this section.
Recording onto a tape from any of the sound sources is simple. Just
place a tape in the Cassette Deck, have the source ready, make one
or two settings, and you're ready to record. For each source the pro-
cedure is a little bit different so we explain each separately. But first,
here are a few things to make your recordings better.
Things To Know Before You Start 
Recording —————————————
■
It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record 
pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without the con-
sent of the owner of copyright in the sound or video 
recording, broadcast or cable programme and in any 
literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic work embodied 
therein.
■
When you want to record onto both sides of a tape, you can set 
Reverse mode to do so. Recording automatically stops after re-
cording in the reverse (
2) direction. Therefore, make sure that 
the tape direction is forward (
3) when recording with Reverse 
mode on.
■
The recording level, which is the volume at which the new tape 
is being made, is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected 
by the VOLUME control on the System. Nor is it affected by 
adjusting the sound effects. Thus, during recording you can ad-
just the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the 
recording level.
■
Two small tabs on the back of the cassette tape, one for side A 
and one for side B, can be removed to prevent accidental erasure 
or recording.
■
To record on a cassette with the tabs removed, you must cover 
the holes with adhesive tape first. However, when a type II tape 
is used, only cover part of the hole as shown, since the other part 
of the hole (Type II detection slot) is used to detect the tape 
type.
■
Type I and Type II tapes can be used for recording.
Note: At the start and end of cassette tapes, there is leader tape 
which cannot be recorded onto. Thus, before recording, wind on the 
leader tape first to ensure getting the beginning of the recording.
CAUTION: If a recording you make has excessive 
noise or static, the System may have been too 
close to a TV which was on during the recording. 
Either turn off the TV or increase the distance be-
tween the TV and the System.
You can record any sound source to tape.
The sources are CD, Tuner, auxiliary equipment, Rhythm Machine,
microphone and guitar. The microphone sound and guitar sound can
be mixed with any source. Also, you can mix the sound from the
Rhythm Machine with the CD or auxiliary equipment.
■
1. Insert a blank or erasable cassette tape 
into the Cassette Deck.
Be sure that the Tape Direction indicator and the tape insertion 
direction are as follows:
[Forward recording]
*Recording will be made on the tape side facing you.
• If the Tape Direction indicator 
2 (Reverse) is lit, press the 
TAPE 
2 3 button to change the direction. (In this case, since 
the tape is played, you need to press the 
■
 button. Then, press 
the 4 button to rewind the tape. You may need to wind past 
the leader tape which cannot be recorded onto.)
• If the inserted tape is not fully rewound, press the 
4 button to 
rewind it. You may need to wind past the leader tape which can-
not be recorded onto.
