Your local RadioShack store carries a wide selection of microphones. Insert the microphone’s plug into the recorder’s MIC jack. The built-in microphone automatically disconnects. 15 14-1169.fm Page 16 Monday, April 26, 1999 4:03 PM OPERATION LOADING A MICROCASSETTE TAPE Note: We recommend MC-60 microcassette tapes for up to 2 hours of recording/ playback time, or MC-90 microcassette tapes for up to 3 hours of recording/playback time. We do not recommend long- playing microcassette tapes such as MC120s because they are extremely thin and can easily tangle in the playback mechanism. Follow these steps to load a microcassette tape. 1. Use a pencil to turn the microcassette's hub and remove any tape slack. Avoid touching the tape. 2. Press STOP/EJECT. The cassette compartment door opens. 16 14-1169.fm Page 17 Monday, April 26, 1999 4:03 PM 3. Insert the microcassette into the door's guides with the tape’s open edge facing out and the full reel positioned toward the top of the recorder. 4. Close the door. RECORDING Cautions: • Do not change the tape speed while recording. • Do not force down REC when a cassette erase-protection tab is not in place (see “Preventing Accidental Erasure” on Page 26). 17 14-1169.fm Page 18 Monday, April 26, 1999 4:03 PM Voice Activated (VOX) Recording Follow these steps to have the recorder start and stop recording automatically based on sound it detects. 1. Set VOX to ON. 2. Load a tape. 3. Set TAPE SPEED on the side of the recorder as follows: • To double the tape’s recording/playback time, set TAPE 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. 18 14-1169.fm Page 19 Monday, April 26, 1999 4:03 PM • For better sound quality, set TAPE 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. 4. Press REC to begin recording. Both REC and PLAY lock down, and the RECORD/BATTERY indicator (to the right of the tape counter) lights. Notes: •The VOL/MIC SENS setting determines the sound level that activates the VOX circuit and starts recording. At higher settings, a softer sound starts VOX recording. At lower settings, a louder sound starts VOX recording. • The built-in automatic level control (ALC) automatically sets the recording level once recording starts. • When you use the VOX feature, recording begins when the recorder picks up sound and stops a few seconds after the sound stops. 19 14-1169.fm Page 20 Monday, April 26, 1999 4:03 PM 5. Recording stops when the tape reaches the end of the cassette. To stop it sooner, press STOP/EJECT. Manual Recording 1. Set VOX to OFF. 2. Load a tape. 3. Set TAPE SPEED to 1.2 to double the recording time, or to 2.4 for better sound quality. 4. Press REC (PLAY also locks down). Recording starts, the built in automatic level control sets the recording level, and RECORD/BATTERY lights. 5. For maximum clarity, place the recorder as close to the sound source as possible, with nothing between the source and the recorder that might block the sound. 6. To temporarily stop recording, slide PAUSE to ON. To resume recording, slide PAUSE back. 7. Recording automatically stops when the tape reaches its end. To stop recording sooner, press STOP/EJECT. 20 14-1169.fm Page 21 Monday, April 26, 1999 4:03 PM Quick Record During playback, you can press REC to begin recording without pressing STOP/EJECT first. Using Voice Zoom To record a speaker’s voice in a noisy environment, set VOICE ZOOM to ON. Voice Zoom uses special filter circuits to enhance and separate voices from background sounds resulting in greater voice clarity during playback. Note: The setting of VOICE ZOOM affects the sound only during recording. The switch’s setting during playback has no effect. PLAYING A TAPE 1. Load the microcassette tape. 2. Set TAPE SPEED to the speed used when the tape was recorded. 3. To listen to the tape at normal speed, press PLAY.
