2. Slide MIC SENSITIVITY to LOW, MEDIUM or HIGH, depending on the sound source you want to record. For normal recording conditions, set the switch to MEDIUM. If the sound source is weak, slide it to HIGH. For a strong sound source, slide it to LOW. 3. To return the microphone to its original position, gently press it down until it locks into place. 17 MIC POP-UP 14-1121.fm Page 18 Thursday, July 1, 1999 2:42 PM VOX RECORDING When you select VOX recording, the CTR-115 automatically begins recording when it receives a sound signal from a voice or other sound, and automatically stops when the sound stops. For the best recording quality, place the recorder about 1 foot from the sound source. Because the microphone is so sensitive, it will also pick up a voice or group of voices (such as an audience) from several feet away. 1. Gently pull open the cassette compartment door. 2. Use your finger or a pencil to turn the cassette’s hub and take up any tape slack, and advance the cassette past the leader at the beginning of the tape. 3. Load a cassette into the door’s guides with the cassette’s open edge out and the side you want to record on facing the compartment’s window. Then close the door. 18 14-1121.fm Page 19 Thursday, July 1, 1999 2:42 PM 4. Set VOX/TONE to IN. VOX/ TONE LOW HIGH OUT IN 5. Set VOLUME/VOX SENS to the desired setting (0–10) to control how loud a sound is required to turn on the recording function. At 10, a soft sound turns on the recorder. At settings closer to 0, it takes a louder sound to start recording. Experiment to find the best setting for VOLUME/VOX SENS in your recording environment. Note: Use the supplied earphone when you want to monitor a recording in progress (see “Connecting the Earphone” on Page 10). 6. Press RECORD. RECORD and PLAY lock down. Recording starts when the microphone receives a loud enough signal (voice or other sound). It temporarily stops when the signal ceases. The ALC (automatic level control) circuit automatically sets the recording level and the REC/BATT indicator flashes to show that recording is in progress. 19 REC/BATT 14-1121.fm Page 20 Thursday, July 1, 1999 2:42 PM Note: If the audio input is too strong, the indicator lights steadily. 7. To momentarily stop recording even while the sound continues, slide PAUSE to ON. Slide PAUSE to OFF to resume recording. OFF ON PAUSE Caution: Never try to force down RECORD if you have removed the erase protection tab (see “Preventing Accidental Erasure” on Page 23). This can damage the record/ play mechanism. 8. Recording stops when the sound stops. Or, press STOP to stop recording while the sound continues. MANUAL RECORDING Manual recording is like VOX recording, except you control when recording begins and ends. Set VOX/TONE to OUT, then press RECORD to begin recording. Press STOP to stop recording, or slide PAUSE to ON to temporarily stop recording. 20 14-1121.fm Page 21 Thursday, July 1, 1999 2:42 PM CUE MARKER To mark the beginning of a recording, press CUE MARKER for about 3 seconds during the recording. This records a brief tone on the tape. When you press FAST-F/CUE or REWIND/REV while the tape plays, you hear the tone when the tape reaches the point you marked. USING AN EXTERNAL MICROPHONE The CTR-115’s built-in microphone works well in most situations, but you can connect an external microphone (not supplied) with a 1/8-inch (3.5-mm) plug to the recorder’s MIC jack. This automatically disconnects the built-in microphone. Note: Your local RadioShack store sells a variety of microphones. Set VOX/TONE to IN for VOX recording, or to OUT for manual recording. If the microphone has an ON/OFF switch for remote control, connect the microphone to the REM and MIC jacks. Then you can start and stop recording with the switch on the microphone. 21 14-1121.fm Page 22 Thursday, July 1, 1999 2:42 PM RECORDING FROM EXTERNAL SOURCES You can record directly from a tuner, a radio, or a TV that has a 1/8-inch (3.5-mm) jack. Use a dubbing patch cord such as RadioShack Cat. No. 42-2152 to connect the CTR-115’s MIC jack to the headphone output jack of an external component. Set VOX/TONE to OUT, then proceed with manual recording. 22 14-1121.fm Page 23 Thursday, July 1, 1999 2:42 PM TAPE TIPS ERASING A RECORDING If you want to erase an entire cassette or a portion of a recording, insert the supplied erase plug into the MIC jack. Then set VOX/TONE to OUT and record silence over the MIC previous recording. Or, you can quickly erase both sides of a cassette tape using a bulk tape eraser, available at your local RadioShack store. PREVENTING ACCIDENTAL ERASURE Cassettes have two erase-protection tabs — one for each side. When a tab is in place, you can record on that side. To prevent accidental erasure of a tape recording, use a screwdriver to remove one or both of the cassette tape’s erase-protection tabs. This prevents RECORD from being pressed. 23 14-1121.fm Page 24 Thursday, July 1, 1999 2:42 PM If you later decide to record on a tape ...
