RECORDING
Note: For the best performance, use only regular length (60- or
90-minute) cassette tapes. We do not recommend long-playing
cassette tapes, such as C-120s, because they are extremely
thin and can tangle easily.
USING THE BUILT-IN MICROPHONE
You can pop up the built-in microphone to direct it to the sound
source, or you can connect an external microphone (see “Using
an External Microphone” on Page 21).
Follow these steps to use the built-in microphone.
1. Slide MIC POP-UP in the direc-
tion of the arrow marked under
the microphone.
2. Slide MIC SENSITIVITY to LOW ,
MEDIUM or HIGH , depending on
the sound source you want to
record.
For normal recording conditions, set the switch to MEDIUM .
If the sound source is weak, slide it to HIGH . For a strong
sound source, slide it to LOW .
3. To return the microphone to its original position, gently
press it down until it locks into place.
