Recording

IMPORTANT:

•It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without the consent of the owner of copyright in the sound or video recording, broadcast or cable program and in any literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic embodied therein.

•The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the VOLUME +/–. Thus, during recording you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.

•While recording, you can hear sound modes through the speakers or headphones (see page 10). However, the sound is recorded without these effects.

•If recordings you have made have excessive noise or static, the unit may be too close to a TV. Increase the distance between the TV and the unit.

•You can use only type I (Normal) tapes for recording.

To protect your recording Cassettes have two small tabs on

the back to protect unexpected erasure or re-recording. To protect your recording,

remove these tabs.

To re-record on a protected tape, cover the holes with adhesive tape.

To keep the best recording and playback sound quality

If the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers of the cassette decks become dirty, the following will occur:

•Impaired sound quality

•Discontinuous sound

•Fading

•Incomplete erasure

•Difficulty in recording

To clean the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers

Use a cotton swab moistened with alcohol.
