AUTOMATIC RECORD LEVEL
TAPE DUBBING
1. By pressing the CD STOP/EJECT button and the
tape eject button, you can load the CD to be
dubbed onto the CD tray and a recordable tape
into the tape transport. Gently press the front of
each mechanism to close them. The CD display
will register the general CD data and the tape play
indicator located inside of the Tape PLAY button
will begin to flash.
2. Prepare the tape for dubbing by rewinding it to the
beginning of the first side onto which the tape is to
be recorded.
3. Set the ALC switch to the ON position.
4. Press the DUBB button once. The REC indicator
will begin to flash; the DUBB indicator will light;
and the CD player will enter play mode. The CD
will automatically begin to search the source for
the peak level. This procedure could take as long
as five minutes to complete. Once the peak level
has been determined, the record level for dubbing
will be set automatically.
5. After the record level has been set, the tape
transport will enter into the record mode. After
approximately five seconds, the CD player will
enter the playback mode and begin to play the
first track, dubbing it onto the tape.
6. When either the CD transport or the tape transport
have reached the end and stopped, the other
transport will also stop.
7. To end the dubbing during a session, press the
STOP on the tape transport or the STOP/EJECT
button on the CD player.
Notes:
When dubbing is started with a program of CD tracks,
the tracks are dubbed in the order of which the original
playback was programmed. For assistance in pro-
gramming playback, see PROGRAM PLAY.
The CD peak level that is detected during ALC level
dubbing may vary from one recording to another;
however, the effect will be minimal. When recording
with the reverse mode control set to the two-way or
the continuous mode, there may be an interruption in
recording of approximately one second during the
optical reversing of the tape transport.
EXTENDED CASCADE OPERATION
By using the cascade feature on the PMD351 with
another PMD351 or other Marantz Professional
products offering the cascade feature, several units
can be connected to supply long playback or recording
functionality.
EXTENDED CASCADE PLAYBACK
1. Refer to the user guide of the other components to
assure that all connections and switch settings are
set correctly.
2. Assure that the “ EXT” jack on the rear of all units
are connected. Starting with the first unit to
operate, connect the “EXT” out jack to the “EXT”
input on the second unit to operate. Continue this
set-up procedure until all units that are to operate
in the cascade mode have the “EXT” control jacks
serially linked together.
3. Set the PMD351 reverse mode control switch to
the CASCADE position.
4. Begin the playback of the first source by pressing
the play control button. The unit will enter playback
mode. After the first source has completed play-
back, the next component in the cascade will
begin playback. This will continue until the last unit
linked in the cascade chain has completed play-
back and entered the stop mode.
5. To exit the cascade playback mode, press the stop
control button of the source machine currently in
playback mode.
