lished or broadcast material may infringe copyright laws.
Check before recording.

If you want to make a bi-directional record-
ing, set the REV MODE switch to the j or
p position.
Set to the u (single side) position if record-
ing is to be made on a single side of the tape.

place. If they have been broken off, block the
holes with adhesive tape.

source (either LINE2 or DISC).
When DISC is selected, the built-in CD
player's output is selected as a source.
When LINE2 is selected, the external signal
from the LINE 2 jacks is selected as a source.

5Press the RECORD key. The deck enters
record pause mode (the display indicators
light).
6Play back the source, and adjust the record-
ing level with the INPUT level control so that

point for normal or high-position tapes
(recording is not possible with metal tapes).
7Press either the PAUSE or PLAY key to start

indicator is unlit is pressed, the recording
direction will reverse, and the PLAY key must
be pressed again to restart recording.
To stop recording, press the STOP key.

allow for the leader tape at the start of a cassette).
The
