Operating instructions
Record speed is varying or FF and REW are slow:
If the recording is running on the batteries and they are low, you will
notice that FF and REW will slow down. This is an indication that the
batteries need to be replaced. If plugging in the DC Wall Adapter cures
the above symptoms, battery replacement will be necessary. It is recom-
mended that you plug in the DC Wall Adapter while changing batteries
to retain clock and memory settings. If the batteries are removed and
the DC Wall Adapter is not plugged in, all clock and memory settings
will be erased within 3 minutes.
I can’t record on my tape:
On previously recorded audio cassette tapes the erase protect tab on
the bottom of the tape may be pulled. This tab protects the audio data
on the cassette from being erased or recorded over. If this tab is broken,
you will be unable to record on this tape. The record button is locked
and will not press down, please try another cassette.
I only get the room noise when trying to record:
Please read the instructions on LINE IN on page 9 & 19 before record-
ing. Your low-level audio source must be plugged into the LINE IN jack
on the side of the VersaCorder before recording from an external audio
device. If nothing is plugged into the LINE IN jack, the internal micro-
phone on the VersaCorder is activated and will record audio from your
room.
Audio on playback is distorted:
If audio is distorted on playback be sure the audio coming from your
receiver is at a low level. Distorted audio can also be caused by an old
or used up tape.
My recorder is not recording at the right time:
If your recorder does not record at the right time be sure the AM and
PM and DAY are correct. Also make sure you have set a different ON
and OFF Time. If you are recording a four hour talk show that starts at
11:00 PM on Monday be sure to change the OFF time DAY to Tuesday.

Check the BEEP switch on the bottom of the VersaCorder and make
