Setting up the CR-4
You may want to take up any slack in the tape
cassette, using a pencil, before you load it into
the CR-4.
1 Lift the cassette lid (use your fingers—
there’s no eject button).
2 Mark the tape with your project (song)
name and the date, and add “CR-4” so that
you know in the future that it’s a multi-
track tape.
3 Insert the tape, fully rewound to the start
(with the full spool on the left side).
It’s a good idea to always use the same side
(side A) of tapes for multitrack recording.
That way, you won’t be confused in the
future.
4 Close the cassette lid.
5 Press [PLAY] to play the tape for about ten
seconds, press [STOP] and press the tape
counter reset button.
This prevents you recording on the non-
recording leader tape at the start of cas-
settes.
You are now ready to start recording as
explained below (
→p.9).
