RECORDING TIPS

•Tape quality greatly affects the quality of the recording. We recommend RadioShack Supertape Extended Range or Low-Noise Type 1 tape. We do not recommend long-play cassette tapes, such as C-120s, because they are thin and can easily tangle in the cas- sette mechanism. For low-noise, side- range recordings, use normal-bias tape.

•Before recording, be sure the tape you are using has its erase-protection tabs in place. See “Preventing Accidental Era- sure” on Page 15.

•Recording automatically stops when the tape in TAPE 1 reaches the end. To record on the other side, turn over the tape.

RECORDING YOUR VOICE WITH MUSIC

Follow these steps to record your voice along with music from a tape in TAPE 2, a CD/CD+G, or an audio source connected to the system’s AUX INPUT jacks.

1.Load a blank tape, or one that you want to record over, into TAPE 1, with the side you want to record on facing you, and the full reel to the left.

2.Follow Steps 1–10 under “Singing with a CD/CD+G or Cassette Tape” on Page 8 or Steps 1–6 under “Singing With Another Audio Source” on Page 9.

3.Press RECORD on TAPE 1 to begin recording. RECORD and PLAY both locks down.

Note: Press PAUSE on TAPE 1 to tem- porarily stop recording. Press PAUSE again to resume recording.

4.Press STOP/EJECT on TAPE 1 to stop recording. RECORD and PLAY release.

5.Press STOP/EJECT on TAPE 2 or stop the audio source.

DUBBING A CASSETTE TAPE

You can dub (copy) any cassette tape on the karaoke system’s dual cassette decks using a source tape with the music or sound you want to copy and a blank or reusable tape to record on.

Follow these steps to dub from one cassette tape to another.

1.Turn on the system by pressing STANDBY. STANDBY turns off.

2.Set FUNCTION SELECTOR to TAPE. TAPE lights.

3.Load the cassette you want to copy into TAPE 2 with the side you want to record from facing you.
