RECORDING A CASSETTE TAPE

You can become a recording star! The
system lets you record your voice on a
blank or reusable tape as you sing along
with a special karaoke cassette tape,
video tape, CD/CDG or other audio
source. You can also record from an ex-
ternal audio source, or dub from one
cassette tape to another.
Recording Tips:
• Tape quality greatly affects the qual-
ity of the recording. We recommend
RadioShack Supertape Extended
Range or Low-Noise Type 1 tape.
We do not recommend long-play
cassette tapes, such as C-120s,
because they are thin and can easily
tangle in the cassette mechanism.
For low-noise, wide-range record-
ings, use normal-bias tape.
• Before recording, be sure the tape
you are using has its erase-
protection tabs in place. See "Pre-
venting Accidental
Page 19.
• Recording automatically stops when
the tape in TAPE 1 reaches the end.
To record on the other side, turn
over the tape.
