TAPE SELECTION

For the best performance, use regular length (60- or 90-minute) cassette
tapes.  We recommend that you do not use long-play cassette tapes, such as
C-120s.  Because C-120 tapes are very thin, they may stretch or become
tangled in the cassette deck's mechanism.

LINE-LEVEL AND LIVE RECORDING

You can record from another audio source, such as a stereo, or from an
external microphone.

To record from an audio source (not a microphone), connect one of the
supplied patch cords between the cassette deck's LINE IN jack and the
audio source's line out (or audio out) jacks.

If your cassette player is already connected to a receiver, use another
patch cord (not supplied) to connect another audio source's line out (or
audio out) jacks to the receiver's line in (or audio in) jacks.

To record from a microphone, use a high-quality, low impedance microphone
with a 1/4-inch plug.

If your microphone has two plugs for recording in stereo, insert one plug
into MICROPHONES LEFT/MONO and one plug into MICROPHONES/RIGHT.  If your
microphone has only one plug, insert the plug into MICROPHONES LEFT/MONO. 
If you have two microphones with single plugs, you can plug one microphone
into MICROPHONES LEFT/MONO and the other one into MICROPHONES RIGHT.

NOTE:  Microphone signals override line in signals, so be sure to unplug
       the microphone when recording line in signals.

Follow these steps to make line-level or live recordings.

1.  Load the cassette you want to record on into TAPE 2.

NOTE:  Be sure the cassette's erase-protection tabs ar in place.

2.  Set DUBBING OUT/IN to OUT.

3.  Set DOLBY NR OUT/IN to IN and DOLBY NR B/C to B or C to record with
    Dolby noise reduction.

4.  Press PAUSE on TAPE 2.

5.  Press RECORD on TAPE 2.

6.  Adjust RECORD LEVEL LEFT and RIGHT for the desired channel balance and
    recording level.  For the best recording results, set the controls to
    the peak dB meter readings occasionally reach the Dolby mark (0 dB)
    during recording.

NOTE:  Recording levels that constantly peak in the +3 dB range can result
       in distortion and poor high-frequency response.  Recording levels
       that reach only -13 dB (or lower) have excessive noise.

7.  Press PAUSE again to release it and start recording.

8.  Press STOP/EJECT to stop recording.

DUBBING (COPYING) A TAPE

You can use the cassette deck's synchro-start mechanism to easily copy a
tape in TAPE 1 by recording it to a tape in TAPE 2.  You can also select
between normal or high speed dubbing.

NOTE:  If the original tape was recorded using Dolby NR B or C, the copy
       you are making is also recorded in Dolby NR B or C, regardless of
       the DOLBY NR setting.  If the tape you are dubbing is not recorded
       with Dolby NR B or C, you cannot add it to the tape you are
       recording.  Also, the record level controls do not affect the
       recording level while dubbing.

1.  Load a prerecorded cassette tape into TAPE 1 with the full reel to the
    left desired side facing out.

2.  Load a cassette you want to record on into TAPE 2.

3.  Set DUBBING OUT/IN to IN.

4.  Set SPEED NORMAL/HIGH to control tape dubbing speed as follows:

        HIGH (button in) -- to record in half the normal recording time.

    NORMAL (button out) -- to record at normal speed.

NOTE:  Recording quality is best with tapes dubbed at normal speed.

5.  Press PAUSE on TAPE 1.

6.  Press PLAY on TAPE 1.

7.  Press RECORD on TAPE 2.  TAPE 1 starts playing and TAPE 2 begins
    recording.

8.  To stop dubbing, press STOP/EJECT on both decks.

When a cassette tape reaches the end, the deck it is in automatically
turns off.  However, if the other deck's tape has not reached the end,
that deck continues recording or playing.

CAUTION:  Do not change the dubbing speed during dubbing.  Doing so might
          distort the recording or damage the tape.
