IMPORTANT:
• It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted
material without the consent of the copyright owner.
• The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is
not affected by the VOLUME, the SUBWOOFER LEVEL,
and the SOUND MODE controls. Thus, during recording
you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to
without affecting the recording level.
• If there are excessive noise or static in the recording you
have made, the unit may be too close to a TV. Increase the
distance between the TV and the unit.
• You can use type I tape for recording.
To protect your recording

on the back to protect from
unexpected erasure or re-
recording.
To protect your recording,
remove these tabs.
To re-record on a protected tape, cover the holes with
adhesive tape.

become dirty, the following will occur:
• Impaired sound quality

• Difficulty in recording
To clean the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers
Use a cotton swab moistened with alcohol.
