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.
z
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.
z
If the tape ends during CD Synchro-recording on the
front side of the tape (· lights up) and the
DIRECTION MODE selector is set to Å or a
(TC-RE340 only)
Recording of the track ends immediately, the tape
direction is reversed, and recording starts again from
the beginning of the track. If the tape ends on the
reverse side of the tape (ª lights up), CD Synchro-
recording stops and the CD player stops playing.
Notes
• To prevent interruption of the recording process, do not
press any operation buttons on the CD player during CD
Synchro-recording.
• Certain operation buttons on the tape deck are disabled
