z You should adjust the recording level manually with
REC LEVEL in the following cases:
Adjusting the Recording Level
Automatically (Auto Rec Level)
—The recording level cannot be adjusted properly due
to excessive noise in the program source.
—The program source level is too low and the recording
level does not increase.
The Auto Rec Level function automatically measures
the peak signal level and adjusts the recording level
accordingly.
During a quiet passage in a program source such as
classical music, the recording level may not increase
for some time. If a high sound level is expected later
on in the track, play that portion first so that the right
adjustment can be obtained.

—The recording level does not decrease for a long time.

z To record with the optimum recording level
•
To prevent changes in the recording level after
recording starts, press REC r while playing the
highest sound level portion of the program source to
be recorded. The result is a more natural-sounding
recording.
1
2
Follow Steps 1 to 3 of “Recording on a Tape” on
page 6.
Make sure that record-protect tabs on the cassette
have not been removed.
•
If you play the entire program source after the AUTO
indicator has stopped flashing and is lit continuously,
the deck will set the recording level for the portion of
the program source with the highest signal level.
Press REC r.
The AUTO indicator flashes and the deck
automatically adjusts the recording level. The
AUTO indicator lights up continuously after the
recording level has been adjusted.
z Recording level setting remains even after the
recording has ended
After you have finished recording with the Auto Rec
Level function, the AUTO indicator remains on and the
recording level setting remains the same. To cancel the
setting, do one of the following:
3
Press PAUSE P or ·.
Recording starts.
•
•
•
Press ARL to turn off the AUTO indicator
Turn REC LEVEL
To cancel the Auto Rec Level function
Press ARL or turn REC LEVEL so that the AUTO indicator
goes off. If you do either of these during recording,
recording will continue but with the Auto Rec Level function
turned off.
Turn the deck off.
To stop recording
Press p.
z What is the Auto Rec Level function?
The Auto Rec Level function automatically sets the
recording level according to the peak signal level of the
program source. While the AUTO indicator is flashing,
the deck sets the recording level as high as possible
without causing distortion. If the signal level rises
excessively after the start of recording, the deck
gradually decreases the recording level.

Dubbing a Tape
Fading In and Out (Fader)
You can copy a tape in deck A to a tape in deck B at
normal or high speed.
You can gradually increase the recording level at the
beginning of a recording (fade in) or gradually
decrease the recording level at the end of a recording
(fade out).
It is convenient to use this function, for example, when
the tape reaches to its end and you don’t want the track
to be cut off abruptly.

Precautions
Notes on Cassette Tapes
To protect a recording on side A or B
Break out the respective tab.
On safety
•
Do not disassemble the cabinet — this may result in an
electrical shock. Refer servicing to qualified personnel
only.
Side A
•
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet,
unplug the tape deck and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
Tab for side B
On power sources
Tab for side A
•
•
•
Before operating the tape deck, check that the operating
voltage of the tape deck is identical with your local power
supply. The operating voltage is indicated on the
nameplate at the rear of the tape deck.
To record on a tape with a missing record-protect tab
Cover the respective tab hole with adhesive tape.
If you are not going to use the tape deck for a long time,
be sure to disconnect the tape deck from the wall outlet.
To disconnect the AC power cord, grasp the plug itself;
never pull the cord.
AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified
service shop.
On operation
•
Because of a safety mechanism, the function buttons will
not operate if the cassette holder is not completely closed,
if there is no cassette in the cassette holder, or if a cassette
has been incorrectly inserted into the cassette holder.
Be sure to stop the tape before turning off the tape deck.
Otherwise, the tape may be damaged.
When you are using a type II or type IV tape, be careful not
to cover the detector slots that the deck uses to determine
the tape type.
•
Type II
Type IV
On placement
•
Place the tape deck in a location with adequate ventilation
to prevent heat build-up in the tape deck.
Do not place the tape deck:
Detector slots
Detector slots
•
— on a soft surface such as a rug that might block the
ventilation holes on the bottom.
On tapes longer than 90 minutes
— in a location near heat sources.
We do not recommend the use of tapes longer than 90
minutes except for a long continuous recording or playback.
They are very thin and tend to stretch easily.
— in a place subject to direct sunlight.
— in an inclined position.
— in a place subject to excessive dust or mechanical shock.
On handling cassettes
On cleaning the tape deck
• To prevent the heads and tape path from getting dirty,
avoid touching the tape surface of a cassette.
• Place cassettes away from equipment with magnets, such
as speakers and amplifiers, which may cause tape
distortion or erase the recordings.
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth
slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not
use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent
such as alcohol or benzine.
• Do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight, extremely cold
temperature, or moisture.
For the customers in the United States
For detailed safety precautions, see the leaflet
“IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS”.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
tape deck, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Demagnetizing the heads
Cleaning
After 20 to 30 hours of use, or when you notice a
