Press the m (Stop) button. The dubbing will be cancelled and both
Decks A and B enter the Stop mode.
SYNCHRO RECORDING
Synchro Recording is only possible if the unit is connected with a
Marantz CD player featuring the Synchro Recording function.
Synchro Recording is enabled through the connection of the
REMOTE CONT. BUS jacks (rear panel). (See Figure 6.)

The tape recording will start at the same time. It stops at the same
time as the CD player stops playback.
Synchro Recording with the CD player will not occur if the TIMER
switch is in the OFF position.
Note:
if any key other than the button described below is pressed during
sync recording, the sync recording will be canceled. (This does not
apply to the A/B button for selecting deck A and the FF and REW
keys for winding the tape).
e With new CD player models released in ’93 or later, if the
REVERSE MODE switch is set to “ =>” before starting synchro-
edit recording, automatic edit recording on both tape sides A and
B is possible.
(CD-43/CD-53/CD-63)
¢ With CD player models released in ’92 or before, the REVERSE
MODE switch should be set to “ === ” before starting synchro-edit
recording. (This results in an edit recording of one tape side.)

PROPER RECORDING LEVEL
One
of
the
beauties
of
music
is
its
dynamic
range,
in
other
words,
the
contrast
between
very
soft
and
very
loud
passages.
To
capture
this
contrast
on
tape,
the
recording
levels
have
to
be
set
so
that
the
loudest
passages
do
not
saturate
the
tape
and
cause
distortion.
Yet
the
recording
levels
should
not
be
set
too
low
or
the
soft
passages
will
simply
disappear
in
the
residual
noise.
{f,
for
example,
you
are
recording
from
a
record,
you
should
at
the
outset
find
the
loudest
section
of
the
record.
Load
a
cassette
in
your
tape
deck
and
press
the
REC
buttons.
You
can
thus
adjust
the
recording
level
without
actually
recording
on
the
tape.
Start
the
record
again
at
the
beginning
and
depress
the
PLAY
or
PAUSE
button
to
commence
recording.
If
after
setting
the
recording
levels
as
explained
above
the
record
begins
with
a
soft
musical
passage,
do
not
give
in
to
the
temptation
of
raising
the
levels.
Bear
in
mind
that
the
level
readings,
when
related
to
actual
loudness
levels,
fall
into
the
following
categories:
Broadcast
human
voice:
Loud
music
(fortissimo):
Soft
music
(pianissimo):
Average
music
level:
from —10 dB to -5 dB
Approximately +1 dB
Approximately —15 dB
from —10 dB to —5 dB
CLEANING THE HEADS
If
the
tape
heads
are
allowed
to
become
dirty,
there
will
be
problems
such
as
poor
sound
quality,
poor
volume,
intermittent
sound,
failure
to
erase
previous
recordings
and
failure
to
record.
In
order
to
prevent
this
happening,
clean
the
heads
after
every
10
hours
of
operation.
Also,
remember
to
clean
the
heads
before
recording
a
particularly
valuable
tape
or
after
playing
an
old
tape.
Head Cleaning Method
We
recommend
the
use
of
a
cleaning
cassette.
For
instructions
on
how
to
use
it,
please
refer
to
the
user
guide
of
your
cleaning
cassette.
