Recording And Dubbing; Recording From Line-In Sources - RCA SCT-560 Owner's Manual

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, Type
II, and Type IV 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 to prevent missing recording
material at the very beginning of a tape.
