MAKING A TAPE RECORDING
This model allows you to make tape recordings directly from the CD player, or the
radio.
• Refer to “PLAYING COMPACT DISCS” if necessary to operate the CD
player.
• Refer to “LISTENING TO THE RADIO” if necessary to tune in the
station you wish to record from radio.
1.) Open the cassette door by lifting the
PULL OPEN
tab on the top cover.
2.) Insert a good quality blank cassette tape onto the cassette compartment with
the open end facing out and the full reel on the left side.
• Use normal tape only. Do not use tape identified as “CrO
2
” (Chrome) or “Metal”
tape formulations.
• For best results use tapes of 60 minutes (C-60) or less. Do not use 90 minute
or 120 minute tapes as these thinner tapes are more likely to jam in the
mechanism.
3.) Close the cassette door.
4.) When you are ready to start recording press the
RECORD
key. The
PLAY
Y
key will also engage. The CD you are playing, or radio program you selected
will be recorded directly on to the tape.
5.) Press the
PAUSE
key during recording to stop the tape temporarily and
avoid recording unwanted material such as radio commercials.
6.) When you have finished recording press the
STOP
key to stop. Open the
top cover, press the
STOP
key again and remove the tape.
BEAT CUT Switch (On back Cabinet)
Occasionally when recording from the AM radio a repetitive whistle or ‘beat’ sound
may be heard. If this occurs slide the
BEAT CUT
switch to its other position to
eliminate the unwanted sound.
