Using a Microphone or External Device
Mic Mixing Recording
Mic Mixing Recording function enables you to mix audio signals from a connected microphone with the audio playback
signals from the CD, USB flash drive or tape. (This function is not available during 2X-speed recording from a CD to a
USB flash drive.)
1
Connect a microphone to the [MIC] connector. (See page 11.)
2
Set up and start recording.
3
Input the sound you want to mix from a connected microphone.
Tips:
• To record only the mic sound to a cassette tape, perform the CD to tape recording procedure without loading a CD. You
could also perform the USB to tape recording procedure without connecting a USB flash drive.
• To record only the mic sound to a USB flash drive, prepare a cassette tape to USB flash drive recording, press the
USB [REC] button to place the unit in record ready mode, then press the [PLAY/PAUSE] button to start recording.
• If you are using a microphone with a built-in remote switch, first turn the switch on, then start recording. Once record-
ing starts, you can pause and resume recording by turning the remote switch off and on. (This function does not apply
to a CD to USB flash drive recording or to a 2X-speed recording.)
CAUTION:
• If the volume level is too high, feedback may occur. In this case, locate the microphone away from the speakers or
lower the volume level.
• In general, turn the remote switch on. If the switch remains turned off, you will be unable to control recording or play-
back.
You can amplify the microphone input volume. At this time, the mic input will be mixed with the playback of the CD, USB
flash drive or cassette tape.
