User manual PIONEER CT-L11

[. . . ] If you don't also own the optional MD recorder, this to the CD tuner or DVD/CD tuner unit. If you want to connect this unit and the optional MD recorder, connect this unit to the MD recorder. the CT-L11 connects directly to the XC-L11 CD (or XVDV77/DV88 DVD/CD) tuner or MJ-L11 (MD recorder). If you are setting the whole system up for the first time, be sure to also refer to the XC-L11 or XV-DV77/DV88 and MJ-L11 manual for full installation and connection details. [. . . ] This includes virtually all commercially produced tapes--look for the double­D symbol (2) on the inlay card, or on the cassette tape itself. You can make tape recordings from any other component in the system, and also from an external component connected to the auxiliary inputs. If you're recording from CD or MD, it's usually most convenient to use the synchro-recording feature (see Automatically recording a CD or MD, opposite). For other sources, see Recording other sources on page 14. to set the timer for recording at a later time , see Recording using the timer on page 15. Once recording has started, you can't switch to another component until either the recording has stopped, or you pause the recording. So, for example, you can't switch over to the tuner while you're recording a CD. When recording, the volume, bass, treble and other sound controls have no effect on the recording. This means that you can record something with the volume turned right down, if you want. Before recording, check that the cassette erase tabs have not been broken, and that the tape is either a type I (normal position) or type II (high position/CrO2)--you can't record on type IV (metal) tapes using this deck. If you're recording from the start of a tape, it's a good idea to wind the tape on a little so that you don't accidently start recording over the leader tape. You can either do this by hand, or load the tape into the deck and play the tape for 5­6 seconds. There are two modes: 1 track synchro records just a single track, then stops; all tracks synchro records the whole disc. Note that you can't use synchro recording to record DVDs. In order to follow these instructions more easily, load the cassette with side A facing you. If the tape direction indicator shows 3, then recording will start from side A. If it shows 2, then recording will start from side B. If you need to change the direction, press TAPE twice, then 7. If you set this to one-way, then recording will stop after reaching the end of the current side. If it's set to endless or reverse, then recording will continue onto the other side of the tape. However, if you start recording in the reverse direction, (2) only that side of the tape will be recorded. 7 If you want to record just one track, select the track using the 4 and ¢ buttons. [. . . ] When using a head demagnetizer, you should turn the volume down to minimum and unplug any headphones that are connected. Incorrect operation is often mistaken for trouble or malfunction. If you think that there is something wrong with this component, check the points below. Sometimes the trouble may lie in another component. [. . . ]
