Making tape recordings
You can make tape recordings from the radio, CDs, or from an external component connected to the auxiliary inputs.1 If you're recording from CD it�s convenient to use the ASES mode�see Automatically recording CDs (ASES) below. Unlike some tape decks, there�s no need to set recording levels; the deck sets the level automatically. When recording, the volume has no effect on the recording. This means that you can record something with the volume turned right down if you want.

4 Select the source you want to record. For example, press TUNER (FM/AM on the remote) to record from the radio. If you�ve selected a CD, make sure that it�s stopped. You can�t record while TAPE is selected. 5 Prepare the source for recording. For example, tune in the radio station. 6 Press REC/STOP (front panel only). The REC indicator lights in the display and the deck starts recording. 7 Start the source playing (if necessary).

1 Press TAPE then load a cassette into the tape deck. In order to follow these instructions more easily, load the cassette2 with side A facing up,
then use the front panel controls.

8 When you�re ready to stop recording, press REC/STOP again.

Automatically recording CDs (ASES)
Auto Synchro Editing System (ASES for short) makes recording CDs3 (including those with WMA/MP3 audio files) automatic. It also makes sure that a CD track isn�t spread over two sides of a tape. If the tape runs out midway through a CD track, the same track is automatically recorded from the beginning again on the other side.4

2 Check the recording direction. If you start recording in the direction, both sides of the tape can be recorded (unless the erase protect tab for side B is missing). If you switch sides and start recording in the direction, then recording will start from side B and stop when the end of the tape is reached. If you need to change the direction, press ( ) twice, then (stop). 3

Set the reverse mode (page 34). (record one side only) or (record both sides if recording
starts in the (forward) direction, or one side if recording starts in the (reverse) direction)

1 Prepare the tape deck for recording. Recording starts in the (forward) direction, so take care which way you load the tape. 2 3 Load the CD you want to record. Press DVD/CD, then press (stop).

The CD should now be selected, but not playing.

Note
1 � Once recording has started, you can�t switch to another component until recording has stopped. So, for example, you can�t switch over to the tuner while you�re recording a CD. � EV700/1000 model only � During recording, all multichannel sources are downmixed to two channels. 2 � Before recording, check that the cassette erase-protect tabs have not been broken, and that the tape is Type I (normal position). You can�t record on Type II (high/CrO2) or IV (metal) tapes using this deck. � If you�re recording from the start of a tape, it�s a good idea to wind the tape on a little so that you don�t accidently start recording over the leader tape. You can either do this by hand, or load the tape into the deck and play the tape for 5�6 seconds. 3 You can�t make ASES tape recordings of Video CD/Super VCDs or DVD-Video discs. 4 ASES may not work correctly if the first side of the tape finishes at the same time as a track ends. If this happens, stop the recording then resume on the other side without ASES.
