Recording a Cassette Tape
Notes:
• The CD-3322’s Automatic Level
Control (ALC) feature automati-
cally adjusts the recording level.
The settings of VOLUME, E-
BASS, BALANCE, and the preset
equalizer settings have no effect
on the recording.
• Tape quality greatly affects the
quality of the recording. We rec-
ommend regular length (60- or 90-
minute) cassette tapes. We do not
recommend long-play cassette
tapes, such as C-120s, because
they are thin and can easily tangle
in the cassette mechanism. For
low-noise, wide-range recordings,
use normal-bias tape.
• Before recording, be sure the cas-
sette tape’s erase-protection tabs
are in place. See “Preventing
Accidental Erasure” on Page 29.

RECORD indicator turns on, and

preset equalizer settings.
