RECORDING

You can record from the CD-3321’s CD player or radio, or another tape.

Notes:

•The CD-3321’s Automatic Level Control (ALC) automatically ad-justs the recording level. VOLUME and E- BASS have no effect on recording.

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

•Before you load a cassette tape for recording, turn the cassette’s hub with your finger or a pencil to move the tape past its leader.

•Before recording, be sure the erase- protection tabs are in place on the cassette tape you are using to record. See “Preventing Accidental Erasure” on Page 19.

Caution: If you try to record on a cassette tape that has had the erase-protection tabs removed, you cannot press down RECORD. Do not force it, as this can damage the mechanism.
