Erasure prevention tabs

ble force. When recording on both sides, make sure that both tabs
are intact.

ADJUSTING THE RECORDING LEVEL

The adjustment of the recording levei is the most important factor
in achieving good recording results. A high level provides a good
signai-to-noise ratio and dynamic range, but an excessively high
ievei distorts the sound. If the level is set too low for fear of sound
distortion, irritating tape hiss will mar the recording. The charac­
teristics of tapes differ depending on the manufacturer and the
type of tape. Set the REC LEVEL control so that the level meter's
"—3 dB" indicator lights steadily most of the time. No harm will be
done if the "0 dB" indicator iights momentarily at peaks. When

En

recording without Dolby NR, set the REC LEVEL control so that the
"—3 dB" indicator lights, and the "0 dB" indicator lights occasion­
ally at peaks.

NOTES:

The optima! recording level may differ somewhat depending on

the audio source and type of tape used. In order to obtain the

best possible results, set the recording level after actual testing.
Listen to your recordings, and adjust the level as necessary.

The level meter may react differently during recording and

playback of the same tape. This is due to differences in tape

sensitivity, and creates no problem.

If Deck I and // are loaded with tapes, relay recording will per­

formed from both the forward and the reverse sides of the tape
in the Deck /, then both sides of the tape in Deck II. Be sure to
check the position of the REV MODE switch before recording
when you loaded tapes in both the Deck ! and II.

RECORDING USING MICROPHONE
(CT-W803RS/CT-W703RS only)

1. Connect the plug of the microphone to the MIC Jack.
2. Follow the procedure for RECORDING given above.

• To adjust mic recording level (step 7), use the mic level con­

trol (LEVEL) instead of the REC LEVEL control.

• Set the REC LEVEL control to its minimum position when

recording with a microphone only.

<Mixing recording>

Turn the REC LEVEL control up gradually after playing back

music source during microphone recording.
Use both the REC LEVEL control and the MIC LEVEL control to
adjust mixing level balance between microphone sound level
and line source sound level.

NOTES:

The MIC LEVEL control is only effective when a microphone is

connected to the MIC jack.

Be sure to disconnect the microphone plug from the MIC jack

when not using the microphone for recording.

Use a commercially available microphone when recording.

RECORDING MUTE

Use this function to create the 4.5-second blanks needed for
proper operation of the music search function.
• Press the recording mute (

O

) button during recording and the

deck will create a blank space by recording a section which con­
tains no signal for approximately four seconds. The deck will
then enter recording standby mode.

• To create a blank which is more than four seconds long, hold

the button down for the desired length of time. When the but­
ton is released, the deck will enter recording standby mode.

• To resume recording, press the pause (II) button or the play­
