RECORDING

You can record from the radio, or use the built-in microphone to make a live recording.

Notes:

•Before you load a cassette tape for recording, be sure the erase- protection tabs are in place on the cassette tape you are recording onto (see “Preventing Accidental Erasure”).

•The CTR-98’s Automatic Level Control (ALC) automatically adjusts the recording level. The VOLUME setting has no effect on recording.
