Auto Synchro Editing System, or ASES for short makes sure that when recording a
complete CD, a track isn’t 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.
Note: this feature will not work with Video CD or DVD.

Tip
Sometimes when recording
from the AUX inputs
(especially from a CD or MD
player), the signal level can be
too high for the tape deck to
record without distortion. If
this happens, reduce the
auxiliary signal level: switch the
system into standby then press
the 
DOLBY
 
NR
 button for about
three seconds until the display
shows 
ATT
 
ON
. You should now
be able to record without
distortion. (When you select
the AUX mode, the display will
show  
AUX
 
ATT
.) To switch back
to 
ATT
 
OFF
, follow the same
procedure.
