STAV-3470 Digital Synthesized Audio/Video Surround Receiver  
(310-3033)           Cassette Deck/VCR Features       Faxback Doc. # 19458

You can connect two cassette decks to the receiver.  Selecting either
VCR/TAPE 1 or TAPE 2 MONITOR lets you hear the playback from the cassette
deck you connected to the receiver's corresponding (VCR/TAPE 1, TAPE 2
MONITOR) jacks.

Using the VCR/TAPE 1 Button

Press VCR/TAPE 1. VCR appears on the display.  You hear the playback from
the cassette deck or VCR you connected to the receiver's VCR/TAPE 1 jacks.

Using the TAPE 2 MONITOR Button

Press TAPE 2 MONITOR.  TAPE 2 appears on the display along with the last
program source you selected.  You can hear playback or monitor a recording
from the cassette deck you connected to the receiver's TAPE 2 MONITOR
jacks.

The TAPE 2 REC jacks continue to output the previously selected source when
you press TAPE 2 MONITOR.

To return to the previous source, press TAPE 2 MONITOR again so TAPE 2
disappears.

NOTES:  If you press TAPE 2 MONITOR when the cassette deck is neither
        playing nor recording, the receiver mutes the current audio source.
        To hear the audio source, press TAPE 2 MONITOR until TAPE 2
        disappears from the display.

        Do not press TAPE 2 MONITOR while you are recording on the deck
        connected to TAPE 2 REC.  If you do, the recording is interrupted
        for about 1 second.

Recording a Program Source

The receiver sends the audio program source you select -- VCR/TAPE 1, TAPE
2 MONITOR, LD, CD, TUNER, PHONO -- to the VCR/TAPE 1 OUT (audio) and TAPE 2
MONITOR REC jacks.

The VOLUME control does not affect the level of the signal going to the
tape decks.

Dubbing a Cassette Tape

You can copy, or dub, a cassette tape from one cassette deck to another.

You can use either deck as the playback or recording deck.  However, if
you want to monitor the cassette deck during dubbing, use the deck
connected to the VCR/TAPE 1 jacks as the source, and the deck you connected
to the TAPE 2 jacks as the recording deck.  Then press TAPE 2 MONITOR until
TAPE 2 appears on the display.  See "Using the TAPE 2 MONITOR Button,"
above.

Playing and Recording Video Tapes

You can connect two video sources to the receiver.  If you connect a VCR to
the VCR/TAPE 1 audio and video jacks, you can copy video cassette tapes
from one VCR to another and monitor the dubbing process.

Playing a Video Cassette Tape

To play a video tape, load the tape into the VCR connected to either
VCR/TAPE 1 or LD.  Press the button (VCR/TAPE 1 or LD) that corresponds to

Follow the VCR's instructions to begin playback.  If you connected a
monitor to the receiver's TO MONITOR TV jack, you can view the program on
that monitor.
