Cable to connect TAPE EXPRESS to your

audio from TAPE EXPRESS to your computer.
For transferring your recordings to your
computer, we have provided two different
software packages on the included CD.
Vinyl/Tape Converter (PC) and EZ Audio
Converter (Mac) are the easiest and quickest
ways and should be used if you are a beginner.
Alternatively, if you are an advanced user you
may wish to install and use the Audacity software (PC and Mac), which allows you to take
advantage of advanced audio editing features, such as audio normalization, noise removal
and automatic track separation.
5. Play: Press to play the tape.
6. Stop: Press to stop the tape.
7. FF / REW: Press to fast forward or rewind the tape. Note that these buttons will become
"reversed" when the tape changes direction.
8. DIR: Selects the direction of tape playback. This is useful if you want to play the other side of
the tape without having to eject it.
9. Play Mode: Selects what the tape does when it reaches the end of a side. When set to the
"loop" icon, the tape will automatically switch direction and begin playing the opposite side
when one side has finished. When set to the single arrow icon, the tape will simply stop when
a side has finished.
