Making a Mixed Recording

1.Press TAPE. The TAPE indicator lights.

2.Load the pre-recorded cassette you want to record from into TAPE 1. Be sure the side you want to record from is facing you.

3.Load a blank cassette (or one you want to record over) into TAPE 2 with the side you want to record on facing you.

4.Insert the microphone into the MIC jack.

5.Press PAUSE and RECORD on TAPE 2.

6.When you are ready to record, press PLAY on TAPE 1.

You can sing or speak along with the cassette playing in TAPE 1. Your voice and the music will be mixed and recorded on the cas- sette in TAPE 2.

Note: To avoid feedback, adjust

VOLUME.

Recording stops automatically when the cassette in TAPE 2 ends, or you can press STOP/EJECT on TAPE 1 or TAPE 2 to stop recording at any time.
