RECORDING

You can record onto a regular cassette tape as you sing along with the music from a karaoke audio cassette tape, or a regular prerecorded cassette tape, or from another audio source. You can also record the sound from the audio source alone, or dub from one cassette tape to another.

Note: Adjusting VOLUME, BALANCE, or the 5-band frequency equalizer does not affect the recording level.

Recording Tips:

Tape quality greatly affects the qual- ity of the recording. We recommend extended-range or low-noise type 1 regular length (60- or 90-minute) normal-bias cassette tapes. We do not recommend long-play cassette tapes such as C-120s because they are thin and can easily tangle.

Before recording, be sure the tape you are recording on has its erase- protection tabs in place (see “Pre- venting Accidental Erasure” on Page 19).
