Troubleshooting Guide

I have programmed the timer but it will not record:

1)Check to see that the TIMER switch is on, the REC and PLAY buttons are pushed down, and the PROGRAM time is correctly set for AM or PM. See page 10 for Recording Instructions.

2)Is the patch cord plugged in? Unless you have a CCRadioplus and have programmed it to start the VersaCorder, do not plug the patch cord into the TIMER ACTIVATION SWITCH port. See page 15 for Remote Switch Operation.

The VersaCorder is eating my tapes:

If the VersaCorder starts “eating” your tapes, please remember we rec- ommend tapes no longer than 110 minutes for reliable service. Longer tapes are more likely to wind around the tape mechanism and create a problem. If a 110 minute tape continues to wind around the mechanism then try a new tape or rewind and fast forward the tape before trying again. If the recorder continues to jam up, even on new tapes, your unit may need servicing or replacing.

I keep hearing a “clicking” noise on my tape:

Check to see if the counter is at 9999 and has not rolled over. Just push the reset button on the counter to reset it to zero.

The VersaCorder’s audio is too low on playback, and I hear a hiss in the background:

The recording was made with the source volume set too low. First, make sure the VersaCorder is properly connected to the audio source. Next, increase the volume on the audio source and re-record and test the volume on the new recording. If the volume from the audio source is set too low, you will record only tape hiss and setting the volume from the audio source too high will cause the recorded sound to be distorted.

Can I use the phone patch cord and the radio patch cord at the same time?

No. In order to record using the phone patch cord, you must disconnect the radio patch cord from the LINE IN jack.

Maintenance:

It is a good idea to keep your VersaCorder and tapes as clean as possi- ble. Tape recorders under daily heavy use, often last only about one year. Dust and dirt is the biggest cause of wear.
