RECORDING
You can record as you sing along with
a tape or another audio source. You
can also record only the external au-
dio source, or dub from one cassette
tape to another.
RECORDING TIPS
Tape quality greatly affects the
quality of the recording. We rec-
ommend RadioShack Supertape
Extended Range or Low-Noise
Type 1 tape. We do not recom-
mend 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 recordings, use
normal-bias tape.
Before recording, be sure the tape
you are using has its erase-
protection tabs in place. See “Pre-
venting Accidental Erasure” on
Page 20.
Recording automatically stops
when the tape in TAPE 1 reaches
the end. To record on the other
side, turn over the tape.
