For best recording quality, place the recorder about 1 foot from the sound source.
The microphone is sensitive enough to pick up sound several feet away.
1. Load a tape into the recorder, as described in “Playing a Cassette“ on page 15.
2. Set VOX/TONE to ON.
3. Set
VOLUME/VOX SENS to the desired setting (0-10) to control how loud
a sound is required to activate recording. At 10, a soft sound turns on the
recorder. At settings closer to 0, it takes a louder sound to start recording.
Experiment to find the best setting for your recording environment.
4. Press RECORD. RECORD and e lock down. Recording starts when the
microphone detects a sound, and stops whenever the sound signal ceases. The
REC/BATT indicator flashes to show that recording is in progress. If the audio
input is too strong, the indicator lights steadily.
5. To pause or stop recording, see “
Manual Recording“on page 13.
YWCaution: Never try to force down RECORD if you have removed the erase
protection tab (see “Preventing Accidental Erasure” on page 14) as it can damage the
record/play mechanism.
