RECORDING

Note: For the best performance, use only regular length (60- or 90-minute) cassette tapes. We do not recommend long-playing cassette tapes, such as C-120s, because they are extremely thin and can tangle easily.

USING THE BUILT-IN MICROPHONE

You can pop up the built-in microphone to direct it to the sound source, or you can connect an external microphone (see “Using an External Microphone” on Page 21).

Follow these steps to use the built-in microphone.

1. Slide MIC POP-UPin the direc- tion of the arrow marked under the microphone.

2. Slide MIC SENSITIVITY to LOW, MEDIUM or HIGH, depending on the sound source you want to record.

MIC POP-UP

For normal recording conditions, set the switch to MEDIUM. If the sound source is weak, slide it to HIGH. For a strong sound source, slide it to LOW.

3.To return the microphone to its original position, gently press it down until it locks into place.
