The tape automatically rewinds to the start of the A side,
and the tape counter resets to "0000." The CD pauses at
the beginning of its first track. After the tape records about
eight seconds of silence (to avoid the leader tape), dubbing
starts with the CD beginning playback and the cassette
recorder beginning recording at the same time. (The
indicator appears on the display.)
When the CD playback stops or the tape end is
reached, the tape stops (the tape side end that it
stops at depends on the reverse mode) and dubbing
ends.
When dubbing in two-side recording mode, if the
last track being recorded to the first side of the tape
is not recorded completely before the operation
direction reverses, that track is recorded again from
its beginning on the second side of the tape.
When dubbing in two-side recording mode, nothing
is recorded for eight seconds after the operation
direction is reversed. (CD playback pauses while the
cassette recorder continues in record mode.)
Press the TAPE or CD STOP key to stop dubbing at
any time.

Adjusting the record level when dubbing

The recording level is automatically set when dubbing a
CD to a tape by default, but the record level can be adjusted
with the
knob when dubbing.

Using the TAPE EDIT function

Using the TAPE EDIT function, this unit can follow an
automatically prepared program and dub a CD according to
the tape length.
With the TAPE EDIT function, starting with the first track,
CD tracks that total less than the length of the tape side are
recorded in order to the A side of the tape. Then, recording
continues from the next track in order to the B side.
