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, the SUBWOOFER LEVEL, and the SOUND MODE controls, or the SOUND TURBO button. Thus, during recording you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.

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

•You can only use type I tape for recording.

To protect your recording

Cassettes have two small tabs on the back to protect from 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.

•Impaired sound quality

•Discontinuous sound

•Fading

•Incomplete erasure
