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.) Open the cassette door by lifting the PULL OPEN tab on the top cover.

2.) Insert a good quality blank cassette tape onto the cassette compartment with the open end facing out and the full reel on the left side.

•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 key to stop. Open the top cover, press the STOP key again and remove the tape.

BEAT CUT Switch (On back Cabinet)

Occasionally when recording from the AM radio a repetitive whistle or ‘beat’sound may be heard. If this occurs slide the BEAT CUT switch to its other position to eliminate the unwanted sound.
