Programmed Recording

15

The HD740’s programmed recording
enables you to make certain that the track
selections on a CD are divided on a cas-
sette so that there are no breaks in the
middle of tracks. Programming may
either be automatic or manual. In the
automatic mode, the HD740's internal
processor selects the tracks to be played in
order, so that they fit on a given cassette
size. In the manual mode, you may select
the tracks in any order to be recorded on
each side.

Automatic programming
1. Insert the CD as normal, and make note
of the length of the cassette 
(e.g., C-60, C-90).

2. Press the

button

^ r

and note

that the

A.S P A C E, A U T O

and

E D I T

indicators will light, and the

display will show a flashing

C - 0 0

.

3. Press the

button

% q

and note that each press will change the
indication of a different cassette tape size
in the following order:

C- 0➔C- 4 6➔

C - 5 4➔C- 6 0➔C - 7 4➔C - 9 0➔
C - 1 2 0

.

4. Press the button to change the tape size
until the indication matches the cassette
being used, or shows the next smallest size
(e.g., use the setting for

C - 9 0

when a C-100 tape is used).

Any desired tape length (of one cassette
side) can be selected with the 

c 

buttons on the remote control too:

F.e. when the length of each side is 15
minutes, press "1", "5", "0" and "0" to
enter "15:00".

5. When the desired tape size appears,
press the

button

^ r

again to

enter the setting.

6. At this point, the HD740 will examine
the length of each track on the CD and
determine how many of the tracks will fit

on each side of the cassette. The

P R O G R A M

indicator will light at the

ottom left corner of the display, along
with the number of tracks that will fit on
the first side of the cassette and the
amount of blank tape that will be left on
the first side when the recording is com-
plete. After a few seconds, the display will
switch to show the last track number that
will fit on the cassette and the amount of
blank tape that will be left on the second
side of the tape. With each display, the
"A–B" icon in the upper right corner of
the display will flash to indicate which
side of the cassette is programmed.

7. When the "A–B" icon stops flashing
and the total number of tracks is shown
in the display, the HD740 is ready. 
First, place your cassette deck in the
record mode and then press the

button 

4 j

on the HD740. The HD740

begins play after placing three seconds of
silence at the beginning of the tape. The
HD740 will then play all the tracks that
will fit on the "A" side of the cassette, as
indicated by the flashing "A" icon. The
tracks programmed for play to the first
side of the cassette will be indicated across
the bottom of the display. The number for
each track will flash as it plays, and it will
go out after it has played.

8. After all tracks programmed for the first
side have played, the HD740 will automa-
tically go into Pause, and the display will
show 

A - - E N D

. That is your signal to

change sides on the cassette tape.

9. When the tape has been flipped, and
you are ready to record again, press the

button

4 j

. The HD740 will first

place three blank seconds on the tape to
allow for leader, and then play the
remaining tracks, as indicated in the
display. The "B" icon will flash to remind
you which side of the tape is being used. 

10. When the entire CD has played
through, the display will indicate the

amount of time remaining on the B side
of the cassette for additional recording,
and the "A–B" indicator will stop flashing
to remind you that both sides of the
cassette have been used and that the
recording is finished.

11. The programming information will
remain in the HD740’s memory so that
another identical copy of the cassette may
be made, if desired. The programming
memory will be lost when the CD drawer is
opened, or it may be cleared by pressing
the

^ r

button twice.

Auto Programming is not possible with
tracks preprogrammed as described on
page 13 (Programmed Play). Instead of
that Manual Programming should be
used (see below).

and note that each press will change the
tape size indication. Any desired tape
length (of one cassette side) can be
selected with the

on the remote control too: F.e. when the
length of each side is 15 minutes, press
"1", "5", "0" and "o" to enter "15:00".
When the size that most closely matches
the cassette being used appears, press the

button

cassette.

7. When the "A" side of the cassette is full
or you have programmed all tracks to be
recorded on that side, press the

again, and it will play all tracks that have
been programmed for the B side of the
tape.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If the 

›

sign appears in the right lower corner of
the Information Display during
programming, it means that the total time
of the selected tracks is greater than the
length of the cassette. Each time the
button 

5

or 

e

is

pressed the latest programmed track is
deleted to reduce the total running time.

NOTE: This Programmed Recording
shouldn't be used with the"CD Sync"
