in the forward (

stop when recording is done only on one side (reverse) of the
tape.
IMPORTANT:
• It may be unlawful to record or playback copyrighted
material without the consent of the copyright owner.
• The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not
affected by the VOLUME, AHB (Active Hyper Bass) PRO,
and SOUND MODE settings. Thus, during recording you can
adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting
the recording level.
• If recordings you have made have excessive noise or static,
the unit may be too close to a TV. Increase the distance
between the TV and the unit.
• You can use type I tape for recording.
To protect your recording
Cassettes have two small tabs on
the back to protect from
unexpected erasure or re-
recording.
To protect your recording, remove these tabs.
To re-record on a protected tape, cover the holes with adhesive
tape.
To keep the best recording and playback sound quality
If the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers of the cassette decks
become dirty, the following will occur:
• Impaired sound quality
• Discontinuous sound
• Fading
• Incomplete erasure
• Difficulty in recording
To clean the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers
Use a cotton swab moistened with alcohol.
To demagnetize the heads
Turn off the unit, and use a head demagnetizer (available at
electronics and audio shops).
At the start and end of cassette tapes
There is leader tape which cannot be recorded onto. Thus, when
recording CDs or radio broadcasts, wind on the leader tape first to
ensure that the recording will be made without any music part lost.
