Synchro-Recording With a CD
Player Through a Monaural (2P)
Mini-plug Cord (TC-WE525/

By pressing SYNCHRO, you can perform synchro­
recording on your tape deck with a Sony CD player
connected to the CONTROL A1 connector through an
optional monaural (2P) mini-plug cord (cormecting
cord for CONTROL Al) (see page 4). The monaural
(2P) mini-plug cord supports advanced functions not
possible with the commander-based CD synchro­
recording function on previous models. Further
information on the various operations made possible
by a monaural (2P) mini-plug cord is provided in the
pamphlet attached to this manual.

Advanced Recording Operations
If your CD player has the Peak Search function:
The SYNCHRO button indicator lights up and the CD
player locates the highest signal level among the tracks
to be recorded as the tape deck adjusts the recording
level. When the recording level adjustment is
completed, CD Synchro-Recording starts automatically.
If your CD player does not have the Peak Search
function;
The CD player changes to play pause and deck B to
recording pause. Press PAUSE II on deck B to start
Synchro-Recording. Adjust the recording level
automatically (see page 8) before pressing SYNCHRO.

*P* If the SYNCHRO button indicator goes off after
flashing three times
The tape cannot be recorded on because the record-
protect tab(s) on the selected side(s) of the cassette has
(have) been removed.
Length of tape used for recording
Tracks on a CD differ in length. Classical music CDs
and others often have tracks that exceed the recording
time of a single cassette side. In this case, record the
tape manually.
y* When recording from the middle of the tape
A tape that is inserted and has not been played or
recorded on is assumed by the deck to be a new tape,
even if the present location is in the middle of the tape.
The deck will transport the tape for 10 seconds before
starting CD Synchro-Recording to bypass the portion
corresponding with the leader. To begin CD Synchro-
Recording without the ten-seconds delay, play or record
on the tape for a few seconds before starting the CD
Synchro-Recording procedure.
