CASSETTE OPERATION

This Emerson Audio System features a dual cassette mechanism which

allows you to play pre-recorded cassette tapes in either DECK A or DECK

B. You may also load tapes in both decks for continuous automatic playback

of two cassettes.

You may make tape recordings directly from the stereo receiver, the CD

changer, the Turntable, or external source connected to the 

AUX INPUT

jacks, or even from Tape to Tape (Dubbing) at either normal or high speed.

The built in ALC (Automatic Level Control) system adjusts the volume for

distortion-free recordings. You can change the playback volume control

settings during recordings without effecting the volume of the final recording.

For best results always use good quality blank tapes for recording. Although

blank tapes are available with various recording times we recommend that

you do not use tapes longer than C-90 which contain 90 minutes of recording

time (45 minutes per side). Longer tapes such as C-120’s (60 minutes per

side) use thinner material which may eventually stretch and can become

tangled in the mechanism.

Keep the critical parts of the tape mechanisms clean to insure trouble free

operation.

Refer to the cleaning instructions in the 

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

 section

of this manual.
