Automatically recording CDs (ASES)
Auto Synchro Editing System (ASES for short) makes recording CDs3 (including those with WMA/MP3 audio files) automatic. It also makes sure that a CD track isnt spread over two sides of a tape. If the tape runs out midway through a CD track, the same track is automatically recorded from the beginning again on the other side.4
Set the reverse mode (page 34). (record one side only)
or (record both sides if recording starts in the (forward) direction, or one side if recording starts in the (reverse) direction)
1 Prepare the tape deck for recording. Recording starts in the (forward) direction, so take care which way you load the tape. 2 Load the CD you want to record.
3 Press DVD/CD, then press (stop). The CD should now be selected, but not playing.
1 Once recording has started, you cant switch to another component until recording has stopped. So, for example, you cant switch over to the tuner while youre recording a CD. EV700/1000 model only During recording, all multichannel sources are downmixed to two channels. 2 Before recording, check that the cassette erase-protect tabs have not been broken, and that the tape is Type I (normal position). You cant record on Type II (high/CrO2) or IV (metal) tapes using this deck. If youre recording from the start of a tape, its a good idea to wind the tape on a little so that you dont 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. 3 You cant make ASES tape recordings of Video CD/Super VCDs or DVD-Video discs. 4 ASES may not work correctly if the first side of the tape finishes at the same time as a track ends. If this happens, stop the recording then resume on the other side without ASES.

EV-500-1000.book 36

If you want to record the tracks in a different order, or record only one track, use the program play featuresee page 31 for how to make a program list. Make sure playback is stopped, then press PROGRAM (SHIFT+1) before going to the next step.
4 Press ASES to start recording. The ASES REC indicator lights, followed by a 4 second pause while the tape winds past the leader, then recording starts. Recording finishes automatically when the end of the disc is reached, or the tape ends (whichever comes first). 5 If you want to stop recording before the end of the CD, press (stop).
Tip If you find that youre getting noisy recordings from an AM radio station, see Optional system settings on page 48 to change the beat cut mode. If you find that the auxiliary source signal is too high (resulting in unpleasant distortion in your recording), you may need to reduce the signal level of the line source by switching on the attenuator (see Optional system settings on page 48 to do this).
