APE TO TAPE DUBBING
For tape-to-tape dubbing, you will need two
decks. Make the connections to the PB and REC
OUT terminals for TAPE 1 and TAPE 2 as
explained above. If there is a difference in the
quality of the decks, the best results will often be
obtained if the better deck is used for the record¬
ing rather than for the playback. Check by making
brief recordings in both directions and comparing
the resulting quality of playback.
Check carefully that the L (left) and R (right)
channel pin-jacks have been correctly connected
before commencing to dub. To copy a tape from
the TAPE 1 to the TAPE 2 terminals, use the
TAPE 1 ► 2 setting on the REC OUT selector
switch. Similarly, to copy from the TAPE 2 to the
TAPE 1 terminals, use the TAPE 2 ► 1 setting. In
both cases you can compare the original recording
and the copy by switching the INPUT SELECTOR
between the TAPE 1 and TAPE 2 settings
(provided that you have decks which allow you to
monitor). Once you are satisfied that the recording
is proceeding satisfactorily, you can turn the
INPUT SELECTOR switch to any other program
source you wish to enjoy, and the recording will
not be affected. If one or both of the tape decks
are not provided with an automatic shut-off
function, you should watch carefully for the end
of the tape in order to prevent strain on the drive
mechanism and capstan assembly.
When using a Graphic Equalizer to equalize input
and recording program output, Dolby Unit, or any
other audio equipment, connect it as shown in the
figure below and set the ADAPTOR switch on the
front panel to ON.
