FEATURES

RECORDING

You can record as you sing along with the music from another audio source. You can also record

only the sound from the external audio source.

RECORDING TIPS

Tape quality greatly affects the quality of the recording. We recommend 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 cassette mechanism. For low-noise, wide-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 Erasure”.

Recording automatically stops when the tape 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 an audio source connected to the

system’s AUX INPUT jack.

1. Load a blank tape, or one that you want to record over into the system’s cassette

compartment, with the side you want to record on facing you, and the full reel to the left.

2. Follow Steps 1-5 under “Singing with Another Audio Source”.

3. Press RECORD on the system to begin recording. RECORD and PLAY will both locks down.

4. Press STOP/EJECT on the system to stop recording. RECORD and PLAY will release.
