Cassette Tapes

We recommend high quality, 110 minute cassette tapes for use in the VersaCorder. In tests, these tapes provide an acceptable balance between maximum play/recording time and prolonged tape life. Longer cassette tapes are available, however the tape material is very thin and may stretch or break during operation. With the extra long tapes, any cassette player is more likely to “eat” the tape.

Inserting Cassette Tapes

1)Press the STOP/EJECT Button to open the lid.

2)Insert the cassette as shown (above).

3)Once the tape is inserted correctly, close the cassette door gently.

The VersaCorder has the ability to record in NORMAL speed for best audio quality. When extended recordings of talk radio, speeches and lectures, telephone conversations, or any format that does not require a high-fidelity recording is desired, the VersaCorder can be switched into QUARTER speed mode. This mode will record 4 times longer than NOR- MAL speed, however, record quality for music is reduced. If a recording is made in QUARTER speed, it can only be played back in a QUARTER speed player (unless you want voices to sound like chipmunks).
