Beginning to record
As a trial, let's record your voice on tape.
1. Have in hand a new cassette tape (Type II, C-90 length or shorter).
2. Press on the cassette door's lower right hand corner, and it will
spring open. Insert your cassette tape. Close the door.
3. Press PLAY and allow the tape to run for about 10 seconds. This
will run the tape leader onto the takeup reel, and put the
beginning of the tape in front of the heads.
4. Press the COUNTER RESET switch, so you can use the RTZ
(Return-To-Zero) function to get back to this point.
5. Press the RECORD FUNCTION "1". The REC "1" indicator will start
blinking in the TRACK level meter, indicating track 1 is in Rec
Ready mode.
6. Speak into the mic. You will see meter 1 move. If no level or
too
low a level is shown, continue to speak into the mic and slowly
turn the channel 1 TRIM control to the right/MIC until the meter
peaks at no more than "+6".
7. Hold RECORD and press PLAY to initiate recording. The REC "1"
indicator that was blinking in the meter will turn on solid,
indicating track 1 is in Record mode.
8. Speak into the mic.
