Making The Right Connections - Tandy Color Computer 3 Manual

Using
the Cassette
Recorder
Making
the Right
Connections
Connect
the cassette recorder
to
the
computer
if
you
wish
to
record
and
save your programs, use
cassette-
based
prerecorded programs,
or
use a
program
(such as Color SCRIPSIT)
that
requires
a
cassette
recorder
to store information.
The
following instructions
assume
you
are using the
CCR-81
Cassette
Recorder.
A
Color Computer/Cassette Recorder connection cable
is
included
with your
CCR-81, and
we
suggest you use
this particular
cable
because
it
is
specially
designed
for
cassette recorder
installation.
1.
Connect
the
DIN
plug
on
the
short
cable (DIN plug
on one end
and
three plugs
on
the
other) to
the
CASS
jack
on
the
back
of
the
computer
Be
sure
you
get the plug
connected
securely.
2.
The
three
plugs
on
the other
end
of this
cable connect
to
the
recorder:
A.
Connect
the black plug
into
the
EAR
jack
on
the side
of
the
recorder. This connection provides the output
signal
from the
recorder
to
the
computer
for
loading tape
programs
into
the
Color
Computer.
B.
Connect
the
larger
gray plug
into
the
AUX
jack
on
the
recorder. This
connection provides the recording
signal to
record
programs
from
the
computer
onto the
tape.
Leave the
AUX
plug
in
whether you
are recording or
playing
back
cassette
data.
C.
Connect
the smaller
gray
plug
into
the smaller
MIC
jack
on
the recorder. This
lets
the
computer
automatically
control
the
recorder
motor
(turn
tape motion
on and
off for
recording
and
playing
tapes).
Note:
Do
not plug
a remote
microphone
or a
dummy
plug
into
the
larger
MIC
jack.
Adjust the
volume
control
on
your cassette recorder
carefully.
With
the
CCR-81
recorder,
set
the
volume between
3
and
10.
The
recommended
setting
is
5.
