of music, you can later rapidly locate all recordings on the cas-
sette.

Starting recording
Recording is started immediately by depressing the
REC 4.
If
you depress the PAUSE button
8 beforehand, you then have
time to set the modulation and then start recording by releasing
the PAUSE button 8.
The RECORD LEVEL controls are used to modulate the record-
ing. Control L 16 is for the left and control R 19 for the right
channel.
Check the correct modulation level using the VU meters 17.
The record level is correct if the pointers just deflect onto the
start of the red zone at the loudest passages. !f the pointers
briefly exceed this limit, this does not impair recording quality.
If the recording level is too low, this does not make full use of
the dynamic range of the tape. If the recording level is excessive,
there is a risk of audible distortion.
Start via external timer
If the power
lead is connected
to a commercially
available
timer, recording and playback can be started at a pre-selectable
time. For this purpose, the POWER
button
1 must always
remain depressed,
If you wish to start a tape recording via the timer, depress but-
ton REC 4 with the timer switched off. When the unit is then
switched on via the timer, recording starts immediately. If you
intend to control playback via the timer, depress button
» 5,
The following sections list the most
important
points which
you must bear in mind when recording from the various pro-
gram sources.
Recording from records
Connect the turntable and cassette deck to the amplifier. The
amplifier selector switch must be set PHONO.
Recording from radio
Connect the tuner and cassette deck to the amplifier or the cas-
sette deck to a receiver. Set the selector switch to TUNER.
Recording from tape recorder
Connect the cassette deck and a second tape recorder to the
amplifier. This permits dubbing in both directions.
Set the selector switch to the TAPE input at which the unit
used for playback is connected.
Recording from microphone
Low and medium-impedance microphones, (200 — 1,000 Ohm
and 6.35 mm @ (1/4 inch) coaxial plugs are required for con-
necting your HiFi stereo cassette deck. We recommend
the
HiFi Electret capacitor microphones Dual MC 304 and Dual
MC 316.
Signals from the microphone connected to socket 18 are auto-
matically recorded
on both tracks and this automatically dis-
connects the DIN input.
