PROTECTING TAPES FROM ACCIDENTAL ERASURE
(see fig. 3)
To safeguard a particular cassette, simply break out the left
tab. Recording on this side is no longer possible. If, however,
you wish to record over this side or a tape with open tabs,
cover the tabs with a piece of adhesive tape.
VOICE ACT (ACTivation)
VOICE ACT
is a sound level sensor system which enables you
to record only when the microphone receives sound at the
preset level. The
VOLUME
wheel acts as the control for the
microphone sensor
. If sound stops or falls below the volume
adjusted for the preset level, recording will pause hence
preventing empty recording. To activate:
1.
Push
VOICE ACT
to
ON
.
2.
Turn
VOLUME
:
Anti-clockwise
– the sound level sensitivity drops and
only sound near the microphone will be
recorded.
Clockwise
– sound sensitivity is increased. Distant and
background sounds will be picked up.
Note:
When the recording pauses and is resumed
automatically according to the preset sound level, the
beginning of the track can be lost due to the recording
cut off and starting points.
BACKGROUND NOISE SUPPRESSION (BNS)
When in noisy surroundings, to achieve a clearer and better
defined voice recording, activate the
BNS
switch. The
BNS
system emphasizes the frequency range of the human voice
while reducing both the high and low frequencies that usually
comprise noise. If you like, use
BNS
with
VOICE ACT
during
recording.
MAKING YOUR RECORDING
1.
Open the cassette door and insert a tape (see
fig. 2
).
2.
Press the door lightly to shut.
3.
Adjust
BNS
and
VOICE ACT
to
ON /OFF
to suit your
recording mode
(see
VOICE ACT
and
BNS
chapters above)
.
• If you do not wish to use the
FLAT MIC
built-in
microphone, insert an external microphone with a 3.5 mm
plug into the
MIC
socket and point to the sound source.
Make sure that you direct the microphone away from the
set to avoid a howling sound. Once the
MIC
is connected,
the
FLAT MIC
will not pick up sound.
