SYSTEM ASPECTS
| CD SYNCHRO DUBBING
If the ESI BUS sockets of a CD player are connected (directly
or via your HiFi system) to the ESI BUS sockets of your
cassette deck, you can synchronise the start of a recording
- j w ith the start of a CD or CD programme as follows:
• Insert a cassette in deck B and prepare your CD player for
playback.
• If desired, switch on the Dolby NR system 9.
• Press the CD SYNC key 15.
- The CD will start playing.
• The CD SYNC and RECORD indications on the display of
your deck will start flashing
• You can now adjust the recording level with the REC LEVEL
control 8 so that the recording level indicators in the display
light up during passages with an average volume up to 0 dB.
An excess of up to +2 is normal during peaks.
• Differences between the left and the right channel can be
corrected with the REC BALANCE control 6.
• After adjusting the recording level select the tape travel
direction with the CHANGE SIDE key on deck B and press
RECORD 14 to start the recording.
The CD SYNC and RECORD indications will light up on the
display.
- The CD player returns to the beginning of the disc (or
programme) and enters the pause mode.
- Recording starts and after a 7-second delay the CD will start
playing. This delay is to ensure that the recording does not
start until after the leader tape.
- 4-second pauses will be inserted between the CD tracks.
- CD synchro dubbing will stop when one or both sides of the
cassette are full or when the CD reaches the end.
• You may also press the STOP key on the CD player or deck
to stop dubbing at an earlier stage.
Note: When the standby mode is selected during CD
synchro dubbing, the dubbing will be cancelled.
CD dubbing without a given tape length
If you have selected ID and the end of the tape is reached in
the middle of a track, the CD player repeats that particular
track from the beginning on the second side.
CD dubbing with a given tape length
If you have chosen the tape length with EDIT on the CD-player,
the display shows which tracks fit on one side of the cassette.
A blank part will be recorded after the last track and the
following tracks will be recorded on the second side of the
cassette (provided ID was selected).
ENHANCED SYSTEM INTELLIGENCE
If the cassette deck is connected via the ESI BUS sockets
to the ESI BUS sockets of a HiFi system (e.g. the PHILIPS
900 series) and when the AUTO SELECT function on your
amplifier is activated, there will be an additional internal
communication between the different elements in your
system.
The whole system can be operated by the system remote
control through the sensor of the amplifier.
In addition, the functions AUTOMATIC SOURCE SELEC¬
TION and AUTOMATIC STOP as mentioned below are then
accessible.
AUTOMATIC SOURCE SELECTION
If the AUTO SELECT function on the amplifier is activated, the
cassette deck will automatically be selected as soon as you
press the CD SYNC, or PLAY ► keys on your deck
AUTOMATIC STOP
If the AUTO SELECT function on the amplifier is activated, the
cassette deck will automatically stop playing as soon as an¬
other source is selected.
e.g. When you select TUNER with the source selection knob
on your amplifier while listening to your cassette deck, the
deck will be stopped.
STANDBY
• Switching your cassette deck to standby can only be done
via the system remote control.
• First select TAPE on the remote control and then briefly
press the STANDBY key.
- The cassette deck will be switched to standby.
• If the standby key is kept pressed for more than 1 second
the whole system will be switched to standby.
All light indicators will be switched off with the exception of
the standby LED on the amplifier.
If AUTO SELECT is activated, the indicator of this key will
also light up during standby.
Note: If the whole system is switched to standby when a re¬
cording is active, the recording (or dubbing) will be cancelled.
• By selecting the TAPE source on the amplifier or on the sys¬
tem remote control the cassette deck will be activated
again.
• The cassette deck will also be activated again as soon as
you press the DUBBING (NORMAL, FAST, CD SYNC.),
