Making tape recordings

You can make tape recordings from the
radio, CDs, or from an external component
connected to the auxiliary inputs. If you're
recording from CD it's convenient to use the
ASES mode—see Automatically recording
CDs on the following page.
Once recording has started, you can't switch
to another component until recording has
stopped. So, for example, you can't switch
over to the tuner while you're recording a
CD.
Unlike some tape decks, there's no need to
set recording levels; the deck sets the level
automatically. When recording, the volume
has no effect on the recording. This means
that you can record something with the
volume turned right down if you want.
Before recording, check that the cassette
erase-protect tabs have not been broken, and
that the tape is Type I (normal position). You
can't record on Type II (high/CrO2) or IV
(metal) tapes using this deck.
If you're recording from the start of a tape,
it's a good idea to wind the tape on a little so
that you don't accidently start recording over
the leader tape. You can either do this by
hand, or load the tape into the deck and play
the tape for 5–6 seconds.
