[ MIC/LINE Mixing Recording
Using this unit, mixing the MIC inputs and
LINE IN inputs then recording them is
possi
. Plug microphones
equipped with a
standard phone plug into the MIC jacks
on the front panel of this unit. Two mics
Must be used for stereo (2-channel)
recording*
* Ifa microphone is plugged into MIC L
Jack with nothing plugged into the MIC
R jack, its signal is sent to both left and
right channel recording amplifiers.
2. Use headphones to monitor the inputs;
this prevents acoustic feedback --
"howling' -- that might occur if you listen
to the sound from the speakers,
3. Prior to actual recording, set the deck to
be used to the record-pause mode then
balance the relative levels between MIC
inputs and LINE IN inputs by manually
adjusting the following controls* while
keeping the total input level within the
limitations indicated by the peak level
meters.
* For MIC inputs.... the MIC LEVEL L
and R controls (L for left channel, R
for right channel)
For LINE IN inputs... the REC LEVEL
and the BALANCE control

procedure, refer to the "Recording (from
LINE IN)..." section on page 8,

1. Load a pre-recorded cassette into Deck |
and a recordable cassette into Deck II.
Plug microphones into the MIC jacks.
. Prior to actual mixing recording, set the
recording level using the following way.
1) Set Deck | to the play mode and Deck
Il to the record pause mode.
Balance the relative levels among the
MIC inputs, LINE IN inputs and Deck |
outputs.
Balancing can be done by
manually adjusting the following
Controls* while keeping the total input
level within the limitations indicated by
the peak level meters.
For MIC inputs ... The MIC LEVEL L and
R controls (L for left channel, R for
right channel).
For LINE IN inputs ... The REC LEVEL
and the BALANCE control.
For Deck | outputs ... TAPE MIX (I)
control
2)
. Set Deck | to the play mode with the pitch
control and Dolby NR (I)* switch set as
desired and Deck II to the recording
mode with Dolby NR (Il) switch* set to the
desired position.
Since
Deck
| and
Deck
Il have
independent
Dolby
NR_ switches,
recording as shown in the figure below is
possible, for example.

Dolby B NR encoded
Non-encoded tape
Using Deck Il, it is possible to perform three-
way mixed recording with the playback
output
from
Deck
| dubbed
over
the
MIC/LINE mixed signal described earlier.
The diagram below shows the concept.
Deck | is equipped with a Dolby NR switch,
pitch control and TAPE MIX (|) control while
Deck Il is equipped with a Dolby NR switch.
This permits recording and editing in a
variety of ways.
Note:

dure, refer to the following.

ARLS
{Automatic
Recording
Level-Adjust System) Function
With the ARLS function, the REC LEVEL
control moves automatically so that the peak
level in the program source which is input to
the LINE IN terminals* is set to the optimum
recording level. This makes recording level
adjustment easier than manual adjustment.
Note: When the ARLS function is to be used,
as only the LINE IN input is adjusted,
set the MIC LEVEL L and R controls
and TAPE MIX (1) control to the
minimum positions.

1. Load recordable cassette(s) into Deck |
and/or Deck |.
2. Set the deck to be recorded to the
record-pause mode.
The ARLS operation is possible even
from the STOP mode. Once the ARLS
operation is engaged, the deck enters
the record-pause mode.
If both decks
are in the STOP mode with recordable
cassettes loaded in both Deck | and Deck
Il, priority in ARLS operation is given to
Deck I.
The ARLS operation is possible even
during the record mode; in this case, the
tape continues to run.
3. Press the ARLS button. The REC LEVEL
Control will move to the optimum recording
level* automatically, At this time, the LED
indicator in the control will flicker and the
counter display will indicate the optimum
level*.
"The
initial
setting
is +5
dB
(corresponding to +5 dB on the peak
level meter).
The setting can be
adjusted from 0 to +10 dB in 1 dB steps
by pressing the mt
(UP) or ~<a
(DOWN) button on the deck which is in
the ARLS operation.
The control will
move by the corresponding amount.
