Recording; Recording On A Tape - JVC CA-HXZ9 Instructions Manual

Recording

IMPORTANT:
• It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted
material without the consent of the copyright owner.
• The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not
affected by the VOLUME, the SUBWOOFER LEVEL, and
the SOUND MODE controls, or the SOUND TURBO button.
Thus, during recording you can adjust the sound you are
actually listening to without affecting the recording level.
• If there are excessive noise or static in the recording you
have made, the unit may be too close to a TV. Increase the
distance between the TV and the unit.
• You can use type I tape for recording.
To protect your recording
Cassettes have two small tabs
on the back to protect from
unexpected erasure or re-
recording.
To protect your recording,
remove these tabs.
To re-record on a protected tape, cover the holes with
adhesive tape.
