4. Close the door. Operation RECORDING 1. Load a cassette. 2. Set SPEED on the side of the recorder as follows: • To double the cassette’s recording/ playback time, set SPEED to 1.2. This setting allows 120 minutes of total recording/playback time on an MC-60 tape, or 180 minutes on an MC-90 tape. • For better sound quality, set SPEED to 2.4. This setting allows 60 minutes of total recording/playback time on an MC-60 tape, or 90 minutes on an MC-90 tape. 3. Press REC to begin recording. Both REC and PLAY lock down. Caution: • To protect the recorder, press REC only when a cassette is loaded. • Do not force down REC. If you cannot easily press REC, check the cassette’s erase-protection tabs (see “Preventing Accidental Erasure” on Page 14). Operation 11 Notes: • The automatic level control circuit automatically sets the recording level. The VOLUME setting does not affect the recording level. • To pause recording, slide PAUSE/ OFF to PAUSE. To resume recording, slide PAUSE/OFF to OFF. 4. Press STOP to stop the cassette. PLAYING A CASSETTE 1. Load the cassette. 2. Set SPEED to the speed used when the cassette was recorded. 3. To listen to the cassette at normal speed, set NORMAL/F.PLAY to NORMAL. To listen to the cassette at about 25% faster than normal speed, set NORMAL/ F.PLAY to F.PLAY. 4. Press PLAY. 5. Adjust VOLUME to a comfortable listening level. Operation 6. Press STOP to stop playback. Rewinding/Fast-Forwarding If you slide the switch to REV REW or FF CUE when the cassette is stopped, the cassette advances or rewinds until you press STOP or slide the switch to the position between REV REW and FF CUE. To slide REV REW/FF CUE to the desired position, press the side of the switch opposite the side marked with the desired direction. Caution: To protect the tape-handling parts, press STOP or slide REV REW/FF CUE to the center when the tape reaches the end. If you slide the switch to REV REW or FF CUE during playback, you can hear the tape at a faster speed as it fast-forwards or rewinds. When you release the switch, the recorder resumes normal playback. Quick Record During playback, you can press REC to go directly to recording without pressing STOP first. Operation 13 . Tape Tips STORING A CASSETTE Do not expose cassettes to high temperatures, high humidity, dust or dirt, or motors, transformers, or other sources with strong magnetic fields. PREVENTING ACCIDENTAL ERASURE Most cassettes have an erase-protection tab for each side of the cassette. To protect your recordings from being accidentally erased or recorded over, use a screwdriver to carefully break off the erase-protection tabs. If you later decide to erase or record over the cassette, place a piece of strong tape over the holes. Caution: Removing the erase-protection tabs does not prevent a cassette from being erased by a bulk tape eraser. Tape Tips ERASING A CASSETTE If you no longer want a recording, you can record over it or erase it. To record over a cassette, be sure the erase-protection tabs are in place. Then simply record as usual. The recorder records over the previous recording. You might prefer to use a bulk tape eraser which erases both sides of a tape in just a few seconds. Tape Tips 15 . Care Keep the recorder dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Use and store the recorder only in normal temperature environments. Handle the recorder carefully; do not drop it. Keep the recorder away from dust and dirt, and wipe it with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Modifying or tampering with the recorder’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty. If your recorder is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance. CLEANING THE TAPEHANDLING PARTS Dirt, dust, or particles of the tape’s coating can accumulate on the tape heads and other parts that the tape touches. This can greatly reduce the performance of the recorder. Use the following cleaning procedure after every 20 hours of recorder operation. 1. Press STOP, remove the batteries, and disconnect any other power source. Care 2. Press PLAY to expose the tape-handling parts. Tape-Handling Parts 3. Use a cotton swab dipped in tape head cleaning solution or denatured alcohol to gently clean the the tape- handling parts (record/playback head, pinch roller, capstan and tape guides). 4. Press STOP to release the tape-handling parts. Then close the cassette compartment door and reconnect power. Note: For easier cleaning, you can use a microcassette cleaner kit, which includes a special cleaning tape. Your local RadioShack store carries a full line of cassette deck cleaning supplies.
