MAKING A TAPE RECORDING
The tape recorder in this system allows you to make direct recordings from the radio or CD player to a blank
cassette in the tape compartment. An automatic recording volume level control (ALC) circuit will automatically

or the Stereo-Wide controls during a tape recording, as these controls have no effect on the material being
recorded onto the tape.

To avoid recording unwanted
