RECORDING ON A

CASSETTE TAPE

The System 740 can record from the radio or dub (copy) another tape. It can also record from an auxiliary au- dio source (see “Recording from an Auxiliary Audio Source” on Page 14).

Notes:

•The VOLUME, E-BASS,BAL- ANCE, and FREQUENCY EQUAL- IZER settings do not affect your recording. The system automati- cally adjusts those levels.

•Before recording, be sure the erase-protection tabs are in place on the cassette tape you are recording onto (see “Preventing Accidental Erasure” on Page 13).

•Tape quality greatly affects the quality of the recording. We rec- ommend regular length (60- or 90- minute) cassette tapes. We do not recommend long-play cassette tapes such as C-120s because they are thin and can easily tan- gle. For low-noise, wide-range recordings, use normal-bias tape.

4.Adjust TUNING to the station you want to record.

Note: Sometimes AM broadcasts produce a hum or whistling sound that you hear while listening to a recording of them. To reduce or eliminate this sound, set BEAT CUT on the back of the system to the position that gives you the best quality recording.
