RECORDING

You can record from the cassette recorder’s radio, or you can use the supplied microphone to make live recordings. Use any normal bias (Type I) tape up to

90minutes long. We do not recommend 120-minute tapes because they are thin and can easily tangle.

Important: To prevent accidental erasure, before us- ing your SCR-96 to record, be sure DIRECTION is set to FWD. If you press RECORD with DIRECTION set to REV, the direction of tape play automatically switches to FWD. This could cause material on the other side of the tape to be recorded over.

Caution: If you load a cassette with the tabs broken off, do not try to force down RECORD and PLAY at the same time. This can damage the recording mecha- nism. (See “Preventing Accidental Erasure” on Page 26.)

Note: The cassette recorder’s automatic level control sets the recording level. Adjusting VOLUME has no effect on the recording level.
