RECORDING

You can record from the CD player or radio.

Notes:

•Tape quality greatly affects the quality of the recording. For low- noise, wide range recordings, use normal-bias tape. We recom- mend regular length (60 or 90- minute) cassette tapes. We do not recommend long-play cassette tapes, such as C-120s, because they are thin and can tangle eas- ily.

•Before you load a cassette tape for recording, turn the cassette’s hub with your finger or a pencil to move the tape past its leader.

•The system’s Automatic Level Control (ALC) automatically adjusts the recording level.

VOLUME and E-BASShave no effect on recording.

Caution: If you try to record on a cas- sette tape that has had the erase-pro- tection tabs removed, you cannot press RECORD. Do not force it, as this can damage the mechanism. See “Preventing Accidental Erasure” on Page 15.

1.Press POWER to turn on the sys- tem.

2.Set FUNCTION to TUNER to record from the radio or to CD to record from a CD.

3.Insert a tape into the cassette compartment and press PAUSE.

4.Press RECORD. The PLAY button automatically locks down. The RECORD indicator lights.

5.Tune the radio to the desired sta- tion or start the CD. Then release PAUSE. Recording begins.

Note: You might hear a low- volume tone from the system’s speakers during playback after you record from AM radio. If you hear the tone, set E-BASSto ON the next time you record. This turns on the AM beat cut circuit, which helps eliminate such tones.
