BASIC RECORDING

Caution:  To protect the recorder, press down RECORD only when a cassette
          tape is loaded.  Also, do not force down RECORD.  If you cannot
          easily press down RECORD, check the cassette tape's erase-
          protection tabs.  See "Preventing Accidental Erasure" for more
          information.

1.  Load the cassette tape.

2.  Set the TAPE SPEED switch as follows:

To double the tape's recording/playback time, set the switch to 1.2.

For better sound quality, set the switch to 2.4.

3.  Set VOICE ACTUATION to OUT if you want to manually start and stop
    recording.

Set it to HI or LO to use voice-actuated recording.  Recording begins
when the recorder picks up sound and stops a few seconds after the
sound stops.

The voice-actuation feature saves power and tape if there are long or
frequent pauses in the presentation you are recording.

At the HI (high-sensitivity) setting, recording begins when the
recorder picks up soft sounds.  At the LO (low-sensitivity) setting,
the sound must be slightly louder for recording to begin.  Experiment
until you find the best setting for your recording environment.

4.  Press RECORD to begin recording.  This also pushes down PLAY.

If VOICE ACTUATION is set to OUT, recording begins and the REC/BATT
indicator lights.  If VOICE ACTUATION is set to HI or LO, recording
begins and the REC/BATT indicator lights only when the recorder picks
up sound.

5.  Press STOP/EJECT to stop recording.

Notes:

To record on the other side of the tape, unload the cassette tape,
turn it over, and reload it.

The recorder can usually pick up sound in an average-size room.
However, background noise increases as the recorder gets farther
away from the sound source.

Using an External Microphone

For convenience or improved sound, you can use an external microphone
with a 1/8-inch plug, such as Cat. No. 33-1052, 33-1060, or 33-1063.

Insert the external microphone's plug into the recorder's MIC jack.

QUICK RECORD

You can go directly from playback to recording by pressing RECORD.

Press STOP/EJECT to stop recording.
