RECORDING

You can record from the CD player, radio, or another tape.

Notes:

•The CD-3329’s Automatic Level Control (ALC) automatically ad- justs the recording level. VOLUME has no effect on recording.

•Tape quality greatly affects the quality of the recording. We rec- ommend 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 easily tan- gle. For low-noise, wide-range recordings, use normal-bias tape.

•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.

•Before recording, be sure the erase-protection tabs are in place on the cassette tape you are using to record. See “Preventing Acci- dental Erasure” on Page 20.

If you want to skip an unwanted sec- tion during recording, you can tempo- rarily stop recording by pressing PAUSE on Tape 1 while the unwanted section plays. To resume recording, press PAUSE on Tape 1 again.

Caution: If you try to record on a cassette tape that has had the erase-protection tabs removed, you cannot press down RECORD. Do not force it, as this can dam- age the mechanism.
