By playing the sound from a VCR or tumtable through the CA-S30BK, youcan often dramatically improve the
quality, and gain control over how the music or program sounds. Once the connected equipment is playing
through the CA- -S30BK, you can apply the sound effects, make recordings, or listen with the headphones.
© First make sure that the connection between optional equipment and the CA-S30BK has been done correctly
and that the setting of the input selector (AUX/PHONO) is correct on the rear panel.
1. Set the Unit's volume to MIN.
2. Press AUX on either the Remote or the Unit.

Things to Know before You Start Recording:
Reduce hiss—
GO Press DOLBY B NR — the indicator lights up — to reduce tape hiss, except when dubbing tapes since Dolby
Dolby NR
NR is inactive in dubbing mode regardless of the setting of DOLBY B NR. The dubbed tape automatically
contains the same processing as the source tape.
Recording level
() The recording level, which is the volume at which the new tape is being made, is automatically sct correctly, so
it is not affected by the VOLUME control on the CA-S30BK. Thus, you can adjust the sound you are actually
listening to without changing the recording.
Erasure protection
QO Two small tabs on the back, one for side A and one for side B, can be
removed to prevent accidental erasure or re-recording. To record on a |
cassette with the tabs removed, you must cover the holes with adhesive tape |
first. However, when a Type II tape is used, only cover part of the hole as
shown, since the other part of the hole is used to detect the tape type.
Recording sound
Q When recording, you can select the sound effects with the preset sound effect buttons to condilion the music as
mode
itis recorded. But when recording using Auto Edit or CD Direct, once recording has started, these settings cannot
be changed. When recording from tape deck A to deck B, the sound effects cannot be used, because the signal
docsn't go through the amplifier first. This method gives you the highest quality dubbed tapes.
