Q* If the SYNCHRO button indicator goes off after
flashing rapidly
The tape cannot be recorded on because the record-
protect tab(s) on the selected side(s) of the cassette has
(have) been removed.
y 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.
Q' 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 about 10 seconds before starting the CD
Synchro-recording procedure.
