Section 5 : Recording

Normal recording means recording on Deck 1 or Deck 2
alone.
However, analog input signals can be recorded only on
Deck 1. Recording analog input signals on Deck 2 is not
possible.

When recording on a new blank tape, record a lead-in
mark before starting recording.

Recording lead-in mark

When recording on a non-recorded tape, it is neces-
sary to record a lead-in mark.

The lead-in mark is

an area where no signal is recorded and should be
recorded at the start of the tape so that the start of a
program is not clipped during recording or playback.

(1) Rewind the tape to the beginning of the tape with

the REW key.

(2) Press the PAUSE key while pressing the

RECORD key. The lead-in mark is automatically
recorded, then the Record-Pause mode is
engaged.

…

With non-recorded tapes, this operation is per-
formed automatically even if recording is started
without performing operation (2). When recording
a source from which audio signals are input imme-
diately after recording starts, be sure to perform
the above operations before starting recording.

…

When you rewind a tape on which a lead-in mark
has been recorded, the lead-in mark is played
back automatically, then the tape stops. While the
lead-in mark is played back, "BB" is shown in the
program number display.
