Onkyo K-200R User Manual

El
CD Player to Tape Synchro Recording
@ Synchro recording using the C-200 CD player is possible if
the K-200R is used with the other components in the same
series (R-200, C-200). Once the system is properly set up,
pressing the CD player’s PLAY, PAUSE or STOP button
causes the synchro recording function to simultaneously
switch the K-200R to the start, auto space or record/standby
mode, as appropriate.
@ The direction of tape travel should be set before using this
function. To change directions, press either the ® or ~«l Play
button followed immediately by the li STOP button.
Synchro Recording with Automatic Recording Level
Adjustment
@ Insert a cassette with the side to be recorded facing out.
Before inserting the cassette, confirm that the erasure preven-
tion tabs are intact. If one or both of the tabs is broken off,
recording on the side with the missing tab will not be possible.
@ Set the Dolby NR switch to the B or C position if you want to
make a Dolby NR encoded recording.
@ Set the Reverse Mode Selector switch to the desired ((——) or
(=>)) tape transport mode. See the “Reverse mode selector"
section for details.
Setting the Proper Recording Level
The recording level has an important effect on the sound quality a
tape will have when it is played back. A recording level that is too
high will cause distortion while one which is too low will lower the
signal-to-noise ratio resulting in a tape with excessive “hiss
noise.”
@ _ Automatic Recording Level Adjustment (|AUTO LEVEL in-
dicator on)
The optimum recording level is set automatically. When
recording to cassette from CD, we recommend using the
synchro recording function described above.
@ Manual Recording Level Adjustment ([AUTO LEVEL] indicator
off)
The recording level must be adjusted manually using the
INPUT LEVEL control knob. Set the level so that the "0”
through +3” indicators light occasionally. The top six seg-
ments of the peak level indicators (0— +6) feature a peak
hold function.
@ Press the elapsed time counter RESET button to retuin the
tape counter to [0:00] so you can index the recording for fu-
ture reference.
Press the @AII button.
Press the AUTO/MANUAL button to turn on the [AUTO LEVEL]
indicator. The mode is initially “auto” when power is first
turned on.
@ Press the C-200 CD player PLAY button. The synchro record-
ing function causes recording to commence automatically.
The optimum recording level is set automatically.
To stop recording before the end of the tape, press the Mi
STOP button. To briefly interrupt recording, press the @/AE
button.
Synchro Recording with Manual Recording Level Adjustment
After completing steps ()— @ above:
@ Press the C-200 CD player PLAY button.
© Press the @/II button. The tape will not move, but the Peak
Level indicators will show the level of the signal being
received through the LINE IN jacks.
@ Press the AUTO/MANUAL button to turn off the |AUTO LEVEL
indicator. Watch the Peak Level indicators and adjust the
Input Level Control knob to the proper position. (The input
levels for the left and right channels are adjusted automat-
ically.)
Press the C-200 STOP button, then press PLAY again. The
synchro recording function causes recording to commence
automatically.
@ To stop recording before the end of the tape, press the Mi
STOP button. To briefly interrupt recording, press the OAL
button.
@ Changing the R-200 input selector setting while recording
causes the K-200R to switch to the record/standby mode.
e Pressing the AUTO/MANUAL button has no effect during
recording.
The Dolby Noise Reduction System
Dolby B NRis the system used in most cassette tape decks to
reduce the background noise that is inherent in all cassette tapes.
This deck also features Dolby C NR, an even more effective noise
reduction system, developed by Dolby Laboratories in response
to the demand for even better sound from cassette tapes.
The Dolby HX Pro System
Tape sensitivity is constantly changing as recordings are made
due to the biasing effect of high frequency audio signals. Dolby
HX Pro is a system that compensates for these undesirable fluc-
tuations during recording. It does not operate during playback, so
cassettes recorded with Dolby HX Pro can be played back on
decks not equipped with the system.
Note:
Dolby HX Pro operates independently of Dolby B and C NR
and only during recording.
