Copying a Cassette Tape (Dubbing)
Notes:
• If the original recording has Dolby B NR or Dolby C NR, the copy
will also have it, regardless of the position of DOLBY NR . If the origi-
nal does not have Dolby NR, you cannot add it to the tape you are
dubbing.
• REC LEVEL does not affect the recording level during dubbing.
• Both decks automatically stops when either tape reaches the end.
We recommend you dub onto a tape that is the same length as the
original, so the decks stop at the same time.

1. Press POWER to turn on the cassette deck.
2. Load the cassette tape you want to copy into Deck 1. Be sure the
side you want to copy faces you with the full reel to the left.
3. Load a blank tape (or one you want to record over) into Deck 2. Be
sure the side you want to record on is facing you and the full reel
is to the left.
4. Set REV MODE . See “Loading and Playing a Cassette Tape.”
5. Press on Deck 1 to set the tape direction, then press .
6. Press on Deck 2 to set the tape direction, then press .
7. To begin dubbing, press the appropriate COPY button:
NORMAL to dub at normal playback speed.

sette decks.
