Recording Onto A Tape - Sony MHC-GTR88 Operating Instructions Manual

Recording onto a tape

(For African and Pan Asian models
only)
You can record on a TYPE I (normal) tape
in three ways:
CD-TAPE Synchro Recording:
You can record an entire disc onto a tape.
Manual Recording:
You can record just the portions you want
from a sound source, including connected
audio components.
Sound Mixing:
You can "mix" sounds by playing one of
the sound sources and singing or speaking
into a microphone (not supplied). The
mixed sound can be recorded onto a tape.
