Troubleshooting Guide

Slow FF and REW speed or varying speed during record/playback:

This is a symptom of low batteries. Plugging in the AC Adapter should cure the problem. It is recommended that you plug in the AC Adapter when changing batteries to avoid losing clock and timer settings. If the batteries are removed and the AC Adapter is not plugged in, all clock and timer settings will be lost within three minutes.

I can’t record on my tape:

Cassette tapes have a “record protection” tab on the bottom of the cas- sette that can be removed to prevent the tape from being erased or recorded over. If the tab is removed, you will not be able to record on this tape. Removing the tab prohibits the REC button on the VersaCorder from being pushed down.

I only get the room noise when trying to record:

Please read the instructions on LINE IN on page 9 & 16 before record- ing. Your low-level audio source must be plugged into the LINE IN jack on the side of the VersaCorder before recording from an external audio device. If nothing is plugged into the LINE IN jack, the internal micro- phone on the VersaCorder is activated and will record audio from your room.

Audio on playback is distorted:

If audio is distorted on playback be sure the audio coming from your receiver is at a low level. Distorted audio can also be caused by an old tape or low batteries.

My recorder is not recording at the right time:

If your recorder does not record at the right time be sure the AM and PM and DAY are correct. Also make sure you have set a different ON and OFF Time. If you are recording a four hour talk show that starts at 11:00 PM on Monday be sure to change the OFF time DAY to Tuesday.

I keep getting a beep in my recordings:

Check the BEEP switch on the bottom of the VersaCorder and make sure it is set to OFF.
