MAKING A TAPE RECORDING

This model allows you to make tape recordings directly from the CD player, or the radio.

•Refer to “PLAYING COMPACT DISCS”if necessary to operate the CD player.

•Refer to “LISTENING TO THE RADIO” if necessary to tune in the station you wish to record from radio.

1.) Press the STOP/EJECT key to open the cassette door.

2.) Insert a good quality blank cassette tape into the slots on the cassette door with the open end facing up and the full reel on the right.

Use normal tape only. Do not use tape identified as “CrO2”(Chrome) or “Metal” tape formulations. For best results use tapes of 60 minutes (C-60) or less. Do not use 90 minute or 120 minute tapes as these thinner tapes are more likely to jam in the mechanism.

3.) Close the cassette door.

4.) When you are ready to start recording press the RECORD key. The PLAY key will also engage.

The CD you are playing, or radio program you selected will be recorded directly on to the tape.

5.) Press the PAUSE key during recording to stop the tape temporarily and avoid recording unwanted material such as radio commercials.

6.) When you have finished recording press the STOP/EJECT key to stop and remove the tape.

Automatic Recording Volume Level Control

This unit has an Automatic Level Control (ALC) circuit which controls the recording volume level and prevents overloaded and distorted recordings. The VOLUME and BASS BOOST controls have no effect on recording volume level. You may change the VOLUME and BASS BOOST controls setting during the recording or even reduce the volume level to “Minimum”. This will not effect the level of the recording.
