•Refer to SAFEGUARD AGAINST ACCIDENTAL ERASURE section (page 11) if the RECORD button cannot be pressed.

•MICROPHONE FEEDBACK:

“Feedback” is a howling or screeching sound that occurs when the microphone comes too close to the speaker(s). To avoid microphone feedback, keep the microphone as far away from the speakers as the microphone cable will allow. If you must bring the microphone close to the speakers, such as when you are changing a tape or adjusting one of the other controls on the front of the unit, set the microphone On/Off switch to the “Off” position.
