Note

Select the 2.4 cm tape speed for recording, if you play back the recorded

tape with another unit. Otherwise, the sound quality may be changed.

Notes on VOR (Voice Operated Recording)

• The VOR system depends on the environmental conditions. If you

cannot get the desired results, set VOR to OFF.

• When you use the system in a noisy place, the unit will stay in the

recording mode. If the sound is too soft, on the contrary, the unit will
not start recording. Set VOR to H (high) or L (low) depending on the
conditions.

To monitor the sound

Connect the earphone (not supplied) to EAR jack. The monitor

volume cannot be adjusted by VOL.

To prevent a cassette from being accidentally recorded

over

Break out and remove the cassette tabs. To reuse the cassette for

recording, cover the tab hole with adhesive tape.

Recording cue markers (M-729V only)

While recording, you can record a special signal on the tape to

mark a specific position.

At the desired position, press CUE MARKER to record a signal.

The REC lamp goes off and a signal will be recorded on the tape.
If you want to record a signal longer than that, press CUE
MARKER as long as you want.

During cue and review, you will hear the beep sound at the

signal position. During playback, you will hear the signal with
low frequency sound at the signal position.

Notes

•We recommend recording cue markers when there is a break in the

sound.

• During cue and review, the beep sounds differently.
• The beep may sound differently depending on the marked position on

the tape because the winding speed varies from the beginning to the
end of the tape.

Notes

• The unit will play back normally for a while, even after the 

i

 lamp

flashes. However, replace the batteries as soon as you can. If you do not,
the playback cannot be made with normal sound, noise may be
recorded and the recorded sound will not be loud enough.

• In the following cases you do not need to replace the batteries:

– if the BATT lamps flash with the playback sound when you turn up

the volume.

– if the 

i

 lamp lights momentarily when the tape starts running or at

the end of the tape.

– if the 

i

 lamp flashes during FF (CUE) or REW (REVIEW).

• In some cases when the unit is used with rechargeable batteries

(supplied with M-679V only or not supplied), only one BATT lamp will
light even though the batteries have been fully charged.
