MAKING A TAPE RECORDING This cassette recorder features an Automatic Recording Volume Level Control System that prevents overloaded or distorted recordings. You can change the volume level as often as you like during the recording process. It will not have any effect on the volume level of the recording itself.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE ABOUT CASSETTE TAPES Whenever you record on a cassette any previously recorded material is erased as the new material is recorded. To prevent you from accidentally erasing material which you wish to save, blank cassettes are equipped with erase prevention tabs for each side of the tape.
• If the cassette feels tight while performing operation shown (see Fig. 2), the tape may be jamming due to ridges formed in the winding of the tape (visible through the center window). These may be removed, in most cases, by fast winding of the cassette from one end to the other and back again.
COMPACT DISC CARE • To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges. • Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc’ s recorded surface with a soft cloth.
