DUBBING
DUBBING is the automatic copying of cassettes from DECK A to
DECK B.
You may choose between NORMAL or HIGH speed dubbing using
DUBBING SPEED selector 66.
The B DECK FADER control 6 withits pause position enables dubbing
at a lower recording level as well as 'selective dubbing' with the aid of
the pause position: making a selection of e.g. various music numbers
from various cassettes and to record these after each other on the
copy.
During the DUBBING procedure, you may listen to the radio or to
another sound source via the loudspeakers or the headphones
without affecting the recording.
