• For the recording procedure refer to the description
in the Notes of "Playback from the first track".
Note :
Digital recording is not possible with playback using
batteries or when the D.A.S.C. function is ON.
When using the OPT.OUT jack, cancel the D.A.S.C.
function and power the unit from the household AC
power supply (using the AC adaptor).
• When using a rechargeable batteries which are
new or which have not been used for more than
2 months, the operating period may be shorter
than normal. This is due to the properties of the
battery and not a malfunction. After recharging,
use the batteries on the unit until there are
exhausted.
The original performance of the battery perfor-
mance can be recovered by repeating this cycle
a few times.

3/R6/"AA"-size alkaline batteries, insert from
the nearer battery,i.e. in order of 1 then 2, and
be sure to observe the polarity marking in the
