Recording

Notes: The CD-3321's Automatic Level Control (ALC) automatically adjusts
       the recording level. VOLUME and E-BASS have 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.

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 
record over a cassette tape, simply record over the previous recording. To
erase the entire cassette tape, let the tape record to the end.

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 tapes' 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 plastic 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 taping it.  Do not
          touch the exposed tape or allow any sharp objects near the
          cassette.
