NOTES ON CASSETTES

o The sides of a cassette are marked "A" and •. B ",

When you wish to record or play back side" A", install

the cassette into the cassette compartment with side

•.A" up. When you wish to record or play back side

" B ", install it with side" B" up. .

The letter" A" of the SONY Cassette is embossed to

help distinguish that side of the cassette in a dimly

lighted area.

o Before installing a cassette, remove any slack from the

tape by inserting a pencil into the hub and winding it

until the slack is eliminated.

o Tape Cassettes incorporate a convenient safety device

to prevent accidental erasure. (When the recorder is set

in the record mode, previous recordings are automati-

cally erased.)

When the small tabs at the rear of a cassette are broken

out, a safety device will be activated, preventing re-

cording.

To protect side •. A" recording, break out the tab of

side" A".

To protect side" B", break out the tab of side" B "

When the cassette is installed with the tabs broken out,

the REC (record) button cannot be depressed.

To reuse a cassette for recording after the tabs have

been removed, simply cover each slot with a small

piece of cellophane or vinyl tape.

phone.

With an external microphone

When using a two-pin plug microphone such as SONY

F-25S, ECM-95S, insert the thicker pin into the MIC input

jack and the thinner one into the REMOTE control jack.

When using a one-pin plug microphone such as SONY

ECM-16, ECM-18, insert the plug into the MIC input jack.

Recording procedures are the same as those when using

the built-in microphone.

A two-pin plug microphone provides instantaneous stop/

start facility.

Note: The REMOTE control jack is not set firmly in order

to allow for easier access when inserting plug.

tie-pin type microphone

ECM-16

Instantaneous tape stop

With the pause switch, tape motion can be stopped and

re-started instantaneously. This will be useful for record-

ing to eliminate unnecessary parts and also in the tran-

scribing.

o When an external microphone equipped with the stop/

start facility is used, tape motion will be controlled by

the switch on the microphone regardless of the position

of the pause switch on the recorder.

o When the recorder is not used for a long period of time,

depress the STOP button.

Note:

Use the pause switch in the playback or record

mode. Be careful not to use it in the fast forward or re-

wind mode, as the tape might be deteriorated because of

its high speed transport.
