Things to know before you start recording
■It should be noted that it may be unlawful to
■When you want to record onto both sides of a tape, you can set
reverse mode to 
. Recording automatically stops after recording in the reverse (2) direction. Therefore, make sure that the tape direction is forward (3) when recording with reverse mode is on.
■The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the VOLUME control on the system or by adjusting the sound effects. Thus, during recording you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.
■Two small tabs on the back of the cassette tape, one for side A and one for side B, can be removed to prevent accidental erasure or recording.
■To record on a cassette with the tabs removed, you must cover the holes with adhesive tape first. However, when a type II tape is used, only cover part of the hole as shown, since the other part of the hole (type II detection slot) is used to detect the tape type.

Adhesive tape
■Type I and type II tapes can be used for recording.
Note:
At the start and end of cassette tapes, there is leader tape which cannot be recorded onto. Thus, before recording, wind on the leader tape first to ensure getting the beginning of the recording.
CAUTION: If a recording you make has excessive noise or static, the system may have been too close to a TV which was on during the recording. Either turn off the TV or increase the distance between the TV and the system.
Standard recording
You can record any sound source to tape.
The sources are disc, tuner, auxiliary equipment, microphone, and guitar. The microphone sound and guitar sound can be mixed with any source.
