Sony TC-WE475 Operating Instructions (primary manual) - Page 19

Recording on a Tape Tips • If the indicator on SYNCHRO goes off after flashing rapidly, the tape cannot be recorded on because the record-protect tab(s) on the cassette has (have) been removed. • Tracks on a CD differ in length. Classical music CDs and others often have tracks that exceed the recording time of a single cassette side. In this case, record the tape manually. • A tape that is loaded and has not been played or recorded on is assumed by the deck to be a new tape, even if the present location is in the middle of the tape. The deck will transport the tape for 10 seconds before starting CD Synchro-recording to bypass the portion corresponding with the leader. To begin CD Synchro-recording without the tenseconds delay, play or record on the tape for about 10 seconds before starting the CD Synchrorecording procedure. • If the tape ends during CD Synchro-recording on the front side of the tape (H lights up) and DIRECTION MODE is set to s or RELAY, recording of the track ends immediately, the tape direction is reversed, and recording starts again from the beginning of the track. If the tape ends on the reverse side of the tape (h lights up), CD Synchro-recording stops and the CD player stops playing. Notes • To prevent interruption of the recording process, do not press any operation buttons on the CD player during CD Synchro-recording. • Certain operation buttons on the tape deck are disabled during CD Synchro-recording Automatic function selection When you connect CONTROL A1II compatible Sony components using CONTROL A1II cables (not supplied), the function selector on the amplifier (or receiver) automatically switches to the correct input when you press the play button on one of the connected components. (For example, when you press H (play button) on the cassette deck while the CD is playing, the function selector on the amplifier switches from CD to TAPE.) Notes • This function works only when the components are connected to the amplifier (or receiver) inputs according to the names on the function buttons. Certain receivers allow you to switch the names of the function buttons. In this case, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the receiver. • When recording, do not play any components other than the recording source. It will cause the automatic function selection to operate. 19
