Playing a Tape
• If you set DIRECTION to REV, the recorder
plays only the reverse side and stops at the
end of that side.
• If you move DIRECTION from REV to FWD
during playback, the recorder stops.
• Continuous playback: plays both sides of the
tape continuously until you press STOP.
• Set REC SPEED to NORM for tapes that
have been prerecorded on other recorders
or recorded with the normal record setting on
this recorder. Or set REC SPEED to EXT for
tapes that have been recorded with the
extended record setting on this recorder.
Recording
• The recorder records on one side of the
tape, automatically reverses the tape’s
direction, records on the reverse side of the
tape, then automatically stops.
• You can use an earphone (not supplied) to
monitor a recording in progress.
• To pause recording, slide PAUSE in the
direction of the arrow. To resume recording,
slide PAUSE to the other position.
• Voice-activated recording saves power and
tape if there are long or frequent pauses in
the material you are recording.
• Tapes recorded at EXT can play only on this
recorder or on another recorder that has the
extended recording feature.

Set MIC SENS to LO (low) when the sound source is
nearby, or to HI (high) when the sound source is far away.
Slide VOICE ZOOM to ON to record specific voices without
background interference. The recorder cuts off higher and
lower frequency signals (background noise) and enhances
the mid-range.
Set REC SPEED to NORM for normal recording or to EXT
for extended recording (twice the normal recording time).
When
REC SPEED is set to EXT , the recorder puts the
recording in half the space used during normal speed.
Set VOX to OUT to manually start and stop recording, or to
IN to use voice-activated recording. When VOX is set to IN ,
recording begins when the recorder picks up sound and
stops a few seconds after the sound stops.
If you set VOX to IN , adjust VOX SENS to set the
sound level at which recording begins. When you
adjust
VOX SENS higher, softer sounds start VOX
recording. When you adjust VOX SENS lower,
louder sounds start VOX recording.
Press RECORD when you want to begin recording. RECORD and
PLAY automatically lock down. If VOX is set to OUT , recording
begins immediately. If VOX is set to IN , recording begins when
the recorder picks up sound.
To stop recording
before it automatically
stops, press
STOP .
Switch DIRECTION
to FWD to play the
side of the cassette
facing out, or to
REV to play the side
facing in.
Use the tape counter to keep track of the tape position
during recording or playback. Before playing a tape, press
the tape counter reset button to set the counter to 000.
Set the auto reverse switch inside the cassette compart-
ment to
(one-time playback) or (continuous)
playback. One-time playback plays one side of the tape to
its end, then automatically reverses the tape’s playback
direction, plays the reverse side of the tape, then
automatically stops.
Insert a tape then press PLAY . The
button locks down and the tape plays.
Turn PLAYBACK SPEED toward FAST to play the tape
more quickly or toward SLOW to play it more slowly.
Adjust VOLUME to the
desired listening level.
To stop the tape, press STOP .
To stop play momentarily,
slide
PAUSE in the direction of
the arrow. Slide PAUSE to the
other position to resume play.

To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use an earphone.
• Set the volume to the lowest setting
before you begin listening. After you
begin listening, adjust the volume to a
comfortable level.
• Do not listen at extremely high volume
levels. Extended high-volume
listening can lead to permanent
hearing loss.
• Once you set the volume, do not
increase it. Over time, your ears adapt
to the volume level, so a volume level
that does not cause discomfort might
still damage your hearing.
6TCHHKE"5CHGV[
Do not wear an earphone while operating
a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle. This
can create a traffic hazard and could be
illegal in some areas.
Even though some earphones let you hear
some outside sounds when listening at
normal volume levels, they still can
present a traffic hazard.
