General information on
recording
●
Recording is permissible insofar as copyright or
other rights of third parties are not infringed.
●
For recording, use only NORMAL (IEC type I)
tapes on which the tabs have not yet been
broken. This deck is not suited for recording on
METAL (IEC IV) type tapes.
●
The best recording level is set automatically.
Altering the VOLUME, INCREDIBLE
SURROUND, DBB or INTERACTIVE SOUND
controls will not affect the recording in progress.
●
The recording sound quality might differ
depending on the quality of your recording
source and the tape.
●
At the very beginning and end of the tape, no
recording will take place during the 7 seconds
when the leader tape passes the recorder heads.
●
To protect a tape from accidental erasure, have
the tape in front of you and break out the left
tab. Recording on this side is no longer possible.
If, however, you wish to record over this side
again, cover the tabs with a piece of adhesive
tape.
