Recording

You can record from the CD player, radio, or another tape.

Notes:  The CD-3329's Automatic Level Control (ALC) automatically adjusts
        the recording level.  VOLUME has no effect on recording.

        Tape quality greatly affects the quality of the recording.  We
        recommend 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.  For low-noise, wide-range
        recordings, use normal bias tape.

        Before you load a cassette tape for recording, turn the cassette's
        hub with your finger or a pencil to move the tape past its leader.

        Before recording, be sure the erase-protection tabs are in place
        on the cassette tape you are using to record.  See "Preventing
        Accidental Erasure" below.

If you want to skip an unwanted section during recording, you can
temporarily stop recording by pressing PAUSE on Tape 1 while the
unwanted section plays.  To resume recording, press PAUSE on Tape 1 again.

CAUTION:  If you try to record on a cassette tape that has had the erase
          protection tabs removed, you cannot press down RECORD.  Do not
          force it, as this can damage the mechanism.

Tape Tips

Erasing a Cassette Tape

If you no longer want a recording, you can record over it or erase it.  To 
erase the entire cassette tape, set the switch to TAPE and let the tape 
record to the end without a tape in Tape 2.

You can quickly erase both sides of a cassette tape using a bulk tape 
eraser, available at your local RadioShack store.

Preventing Accidental Erasure

Cassette tapes have two erase-protection tabs, one for each side.  To
protect a recording from being accidentally recorded over or erased, use a
screwdriver to remove one or both of the cassette tape's erase-protection
tabs.

Note:  Removing the erase-protection tabs does not prevent a bulk eraser
       from erasing a cassette tape.

If you want to record on a tape side after you have removed the erase
protection tab, place a piece of strong tape over that side's erase
protection hole.  Be sure you cover only the hole originally covered by 
the erase-protection tab.

Restoring Tape Tension and Sound Quality

After playing a cassette tape several times, the tape might become tightly 
wound on the reels.  This can cause playback sound quality to deteriorate.

To restore the sound quality, fast-forward the tape from the beginning to 
the end of one side, then completely rewind it. Then loosen the tape reels
by gently tapping each side of the cassette's outer shell on a flat 
surface.

CAUTION:  Be careful not to damage the cassette when tapping it.  Do not
          touch the exposed tape or allow any sharp objects near the
          cassette.
