If the disc is a CD-RW, the final track can be erased,
if required (see “Erasing tracks” on page 35) and the
disc then finalized. If the disc is a CD-R, it must be
finalized prior to use (see “Finalizing” on page 34).
Dubbing from tape to disc
When dubbing from tape to disc, follow the instruc-
tions here.
1
Load the tape with the side that will be
recorded first to be played first. Set the
Dolby, etc. as well as the reverse mode.
2
Load a recordable disc.
3
Use the
MENU
key to set the dubbing volume
to
THRU
to bypass the input level control
(see “Bypassing the INPUT level for dub-
bing” on page 17).
NOTE
Note that while dubbing with auto track enabled, the
start trigger level (see “Synchronized recording” on
page 30) is set to –36dB.

DUB 1
key.
The CD goes into record ready The tape
rewinds to the start of the tape and starts
playing back. The CD recorder starts record-
ing.

When the available recording time on the
disc is finished, or the tape has stopped play-
ing according to the reverse mode setting,
whichever is the earliest, the tape will stop,
and recording will stop on the disc.
If you want to adjust the input volume, set
the
DUB>VOL
menu to
ON
and use the
right (CD-RW)
INPUT
control to adjust the
level of signals fed to the disc from the tape
deck. If you wish to adjust the volume before
recording starts, put the CD-RW into record
ready or monitor mode and use the

You can also stop the dubbing process by
pressing either of the

keys (these are
the only keys which will work in dubbing
mode).

sette in the tape deck for the dubbing to work. The

key is disabled if the media are not loaded, and
if the drives are in any mode other than stop.
