SPECIAL FEATURES

RECORDING AND DUBBING

You can record from any component connected to the
receiver/amplifier or dub (copy) cassette tapes.
Notes:
• Tape quality greatly affects the quality of the recording.
Your cassette deck can play Type I and Type II tape. We
recommend Radio Shack brand tapes.
• Before recording or dubbing, be sure the cassettes onto
which you want to record or dub have their erase-
protection tabs in place. To prevent accidental erasure
of a tape, remove the erase-protection tabs. For more
information, see "Erase-Protection Tabs."
• To record at the beginning of a cassette, turn the
cassette' s hub with your finger or a pencil until the
dark part of the tape enters the opening in the edge of
the cassette. Before dubbing, position both tapes this
way.
