Notes:
1. The recording level cannot be adjusted for dubbing. Insert a tape
which was recorded at an optimum recording level in the A deck.
2. The system is deactivated during dubbing operation with the
result that the dubbed version features the same noise reduc-
tion as the original.
Example)
if the A deck tape was recorded using Dolby B NR, the tape
recorded in the B deck will also be recorded using Dolby B NR.
3. Repeat dubbing leads to degradation of sound quality. It is
recommended that the prerecorded tape in A deck be an origi-
nal (first generation tape).
4. When a TV set is placed near the system, the result of high-
speed dubbing could contain noise from the TV. To avoid this,
place the TV as far as possible from the system.
5. If the prerecorded tape was recorded at a relatively high record-
ing level, the result of high-speed dubbing could be poor sound
quality. Use normal dubbing with such tapes.
