IMPORTANT:
•
It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record
pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without the
consent of the owner of copyright in the sound or video
recording, broadcast or cable program and in any
literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic embodied
therein.
• The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is
not affected by the VOLUME, the SUBWOOFER LEVEL,
and the SOUND MODE controls, or the SOUND TURBO
button. 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 only use type I tape for recording.
To protect your recording
Cassettes have two small tabs
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.
To keep the best recording and playback sound
quality
If the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers of the cassette deck
become dirty, the following will occur:
• Impaired sound quality
• Discontinuous sound
• Fading
• Incomplete erasure
• Difficulty in recording
To clean the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers
Use a cotton swab moistened with alcohol.
To demagnetize the heads
Turn off the unit, and use a head demagnetizer (available at
electronics and audio shops).
