TO USE THE COMPONENT CONNECTED
TO THE TAPE2 MONITOR TERMINALS
[For a cassette deck]
÷ A cassette deck connected here can be operated in the
same way (recording and playback) as a deck connected to
the TAPE2 MONITOR terminals.
÷ Also, if two decks are used, you can copy tapes from one
deck onto the other (see the section “COPYING TAPES”).

2. Operate the cassette deck to perform playback
(or recording).
NOTE:
The source selected with the INPUT SELECTOR knob is
backed up for a few days even when the POWER switch is set
to off or the power cord is unpluged.
After this period, the CD is automatically selected when the
power is supplied.
[For an adaptor component]
By connecting a graphic equalizer, source sounds (from discs,
tapes, AM/FM broadcasts, etc.) can be heard with added sound
and tone compensation.
Sounds compensated with the adaptor component can be
recorded on the cassette deck connected to the TAPE1/MD(on
the A-307R) or TAPE1/CD-R/MD(on the A-209R) terminals.
1. Set the TAPE2 MONITOR button to ON.
2. Play back the source.

NOTE:
Be sure to perform this operation with the adaptor component

duced, or the playback sound will be distorted.
