RECORDING A

CASSETTE TAPE

You can record from the CD player or radio.

Notes:

Before recording, be sure the erase-protection tabs are in place on the cassette tape you are recording onto.

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.

Tape quality greatly affects the quality of the recording. We rec- ommend regular length (60- minute or 90-minute) cassette tapes. Long-play cassette tapes such as C-120s are not recom- mended. For low-noise, wide- range recordings, use normal-bias tape.

The CD-3316’s Automatic Level Control (ALC) automatically adjusts the recording level. VOL- UME and TONE have no effect on recording.
