MAKING A TAPE RECORDING

The tape recorder in this system allows you to make direct recordings from the radio or CD player to a blank cassette in the tape compartment. An automatic recording volume level control (ALC) circuit will automatically control the volume level of your recordings to prevent distortion. You may change the settings of the volume or the Stereo-Wide controls during a tape recording, as these controls have no effect on the material being recorded onto the tape.

To make a tape recording, proceed as follows:

When you are ready to begin recording, press the cassette Record ( ) Button. The cassette
