Follow these steps to record.
1. Load a cassette tape into the cas-
sette deck.
2. Set
VOX
to
OUT
if you want to manu-
ally start and stop recording. Or, set
VOX
to
HIGH
or
LOW
, depending on
the sound source you want to
record.
HIGH
is the most sensitive setting
and requires only a soft sound to
begin recording.

is the least sensitive setting
and requires a louder sound to
begin recording.
3. Set the recorder’s automatic level
control
(ALC)
to
IN
to have the
recorder automatically adjust its
recording level or to
OUT
so you can
manually adjust the recording level
for unusually loud or soft sounds.
If you set
ALC
to
OUT

VOL-
UME

lights to 0
dB during the loudest portions of the
sound signal.

the external audio source and set its
volume to a comfortable listening
level before you connect it to the

nal Audio Source” on Page 5). Then
use the recorder’s

to the
LEVEL METER
.
