PHONES jack

To remove the batteries, remove battery 3 rst. Notes: The memory backup batteries will not be consumed as long as the power is supplied from an AC outlet, loaded 10 batteries, or car battery (DC12V). However, if no power is supplied to the system, the memory backup batteries should be replaced with new ones approximately every 12 months to securely maintain the contents of the memory. Before replacing the memory backup batteries, always connect the AC power cord to the system to prevent the contents of memory from being erased. When a power failure occurs, the time indication disappears from the display to save the battery power of the memory backup batteries. CAUTION: To avoid battery leakage or explosion: When you need to replace the batteries, replace all batteries at the same time with new ones. Before replacing, you need to supply AC power to the system. Do not use an old battery with new ones. Do not use different types of batteries together.
Operating the system on batteries
To remove the batteries, remove battery 10 rst. Notes: When you operate the system on mains (AC) power or on car battery (DC12V), the power source automatically switches from batteries to AC or DC12V. However, you should remove the 10 batteries when operating on AC power or car battery (DC12V). When the batteries are exhausted, the following symptoms will occur: Mistracking occurs during disc playback. Sounds are distorted intermittently during tape playback. DC OFF ashes on the display, then the power goes off. If this happens, replace the batteries. It is recommended to use AC power cord when recording important material or listening to a disc. CAUTION: To avoid battery leakage or explosion: Remove the 10 batteries when the system is not in use for an extended period of time. When you need to replace the batteries, replace all batteries at the same time with new ones. Do not use different types of batteries together. If the power is supplied through the batteries, the display will be blank with the system turned off (at standby).
Unplug the AC power cord from the system to supply the power through the batteries; otherwise, the system does not work.

This system is not compatible with the other discs such as DVD, DVD-R, and DVD-RW. Notes on MP3: The system can only recognize les (tracks) with MP3 or mp3 as the extensions, which can be in any combination of upper and lower case. It is recommended that you record your material at a 44.1 kHz sampling rate, using the 128 kbps data transfer rate. You can play back the discs containing the tracks in music CD format or MP3 les in ISO 9660 format. Some MP3 tracks or discs may not be played back because of their characteristics or recording conditions. MP3 discs require a longer readout time than normal discs.
This system recognizes up to 999 tracks on a disc (or less depending on the recording condition of a disc).

Things to know before you start recording
It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without the consent of the owner of copyright in the sound or video recording, broadcast or cable programme and in any literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic work embodied therein. When you want to record onto both sides of a tape, you can set reverse mode to. Recording automatically stops after recording in the reverse (2) direction. Therefore, make sure that the tape direction is forward (3) when recording with reverse mode is on. The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the VOLUME control on the system or by adjusting the sound effects. Thus, during recording you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level. Two small tabs on the back of the cassette tape, one for side A and one for side B, can be removed to prevent accidental erasure or recording. To record on a cassette with the tabs removed, you must cover the holes with adhesive tape rst. However, when a type II tape is used, only cover part of the hole as shown, since the other part of the hole (type II detection slot) is used to detect the tape type.

Type II detection slot

Standard recording
You can record any sound source to tape. The sources are disc, tuner, auxiliary equipment, microphone, and guitar. The microphone sound and guitar sound can be mixed with any source.

Adhesive tape

Type I and type II tapes can be used for recording. Note: At the start and end of cassette tapes, there is leader tape which cannot be recorded onto. Thus, before recording, wind on the leader tape rst to ensure getting the beginning of the recording.
If the tape direction 2 (reverse) is lit, press TAPE to change the direction. (In this case, since the tape play starts, you need to press 7. Then, press 4 to rewind the tape up to the end point of the leader tape which cannot be recorded onto.) If the inserted tape is not fully rewound, press 4 to rewind the tape up to the end point of the leader tape which cannot be recorded onto.
2.If you want to record sides of the tape, press REVERSE on bothon the remote MODE control to set the cassette deck in reverse mode.
