Playing The Radio
1. To hear monaural sound through the built-in speaker, set E-BASS to
SP ON.
Note: When you use the built-in speaker, you cannot emphasize low
frequencies with E-BASS.
To hear stereo sound through headphones or amplified speakers, set
E-BASS to OFF.
2. Slide TAPE/RADIO to RADIO. One of the BATTERY indicators lights.
3. Slide BAND to the desired band. Slide it to FM STEREO for stereo
sound on FM stations.

The AM antenna is built-in. Move the cassette recorder to improve
AM reception.
If you connect a pair of headphones or amplified speakers, fully
uncoil the headphones' or speakers' cord for the best FM
reception.
To improve reception for weak FM stereo stations, set BAND or FM
MONO. The sound will be monaural, but reception should improve.

Loading A Cassette Tape
You can use the recorder to play normal bias, high bias, and metal tapes.
However, you can only use normal bias (Type I) tapes for recording.
Note: Your recorder comes with a block of foam to protect the cassette
recorder's mechanism during shipment. Remove the foam before
loading a tape.
1. Take up any slack in the tape by turning the cassette's hub with a
pencil. Do not touch the exposed tape.
2. Slide OPEN in the direction of the arrow and pull up on the
compartment door to open it.
3. Insert a cassette into the door's tape guides with the cassette's
open edge facing up and the full reel to the right.
4. Close the cassette compartment door.
Playing A Cassette Tape

2. Slide TAPE/OSC (oscillator) to NORMAL for normal bias cassette
tapes or to METAL/HIGH (PB) for chrome or metal cassette tapes.
3. Slide DIRECTION to FWD to play the slide facing out, or to REV to
play the reverse side.
4. Set the reverse mode switch to choose the automatic reverse
option.
One-Time Playback (SYMBOL): the cassette recorder plays one side of
the tape, automatically reverses the
tape's playback direction, plays the
reverse side of the tape, then automat-
ically stops.
Note: If you set DIRECTION to REV, the cassette recorder plays only
the reverse side and stops at the end of that side.
Continuous Playback (SYMBOL): The cassette recorder alternately
plays each side of the tape until you
press STOP.

FWD ->> <<-
REV <<- ->>
To stop the tape before it reaches the end, press STOP.
Note: To protect the tape after the tape has fully wound to either end,
press STOP to release fast-forward and rewind.
You can press <<- or ->> during playback. The button locks down
and you can hear the tape at a faster speed. To return to normal
playback, press <- -> PLAY.
Recording
You can record from the cassette recorder's radio, or you can use the
supplied microphone to make live recordings. Use any normal bias (Type I)
tape up to 90 minutes long. We do not recommend 120-minutes tapes because
they are thin and can easily tangle.
CAUTION: If you load a cassette with the tabs broken off, do not try to
force down RECORD and PLAY at the same time. This can damage
the recording mechanism. (See "Preventing Accidental Erasure"
on Page 26.)
Note: The cassette recorder's automatic level control sets the recording
level. Adjusting VOLUME has no effect on the recording level.
Recording from the Radio
1. Load a blank cassette tape (or one you want to record over) into
the tape compartment.
2. Slide TAPE/RADIO to RADIO.
3. Slide BAND to the desired band.
4. Adjust VOLUME.
5. Rotate TUNING to select a radio station.
6. Hold down RECORD and press PLAY so recording starts.
Recording continues until the tape reaches the end. To stop
recording sooner, press STOP.
Notes:
Set PAUSE to ON to temporarily stop recording. Set PAUSE to OFF
to continue recording.
To cue the tape, you can set PAUSE to ON before you press RECORD and
PLAY, and set PAUSE to OFF when you are ready to record.
7. After you stop recording, set TAPE/RADIO to TAPE to turn off the
radio.
Note: During playback of a recorded AM program, you might hear a
high-pitched tone or a whistling sound called a "beat." If
you hear beats, set TAPE/OSC to its other position and record
again.
Recording Live
The supplied tie-clip microphone is like two microphones in one. It con-tains two elements so you can record in stereo. Follow these steps to make live recordings.
1. Load a blank cassette tape for one you want to record over) into
the tape compartment.
2. Connect the microphone to the cassette recorder's MIC jack. Point
the L/R (left/right) elements of the microphone toward the sound
source as shown, or clip it to the speaker's tie. Avoid pointing
only one end (L or R) toward the sound source.

You can use stereo headphones (not supplied) to monitor the sound while you record.
Note: If feedback (noise) occurs during recording, increase the distance
between the microphone and the headphones, or turn down the
volume.
