HA-802 Cassette Player

Remote Control (optional extra)

Connect an optional remote control switch to the Remote Control Jack of this unit.

Recording or playback can now start or stop (provided the appropriate buttons are

in depressed position) by means of the On/Off switch on the remote control.

Private Listening

A. Headphone and Listening Center

Insert a headphone (not supplied) into 1/4” Headphone Jack HP/EXT.SP. This will

automatically disconnect the built-in speaker as well. Note that only monaural sound

can be heard.

When headphone is connected to the 1/4” Headphone Jack HEADPHONE

but not the HP/EXT.SP jack during tape playback, sound will come out of the

internal loudspeaker, as well as through the headphone. (During recording the

HEADPHONE jack may be used to monitor through headphones as recording is

being made.)

Playback

Cassettes may be played back through the internal speaker, through an earphone or

small extension speaker (8 ohms impedance) using the earphone socket. The same

socket may also be used to connect the recorder to other audio equipment for the

playback of cassettes.

Recording Using the Built-In Microphone

Insert a cassette and press the Record Key and the Play Key simultaneously.

The recording indicator LED will show that the machine is in the record mode. This

indicator will glow brightly when the machine is operating, or when the batteries are

in good condition. When batteries are weak, this indicator will glow dimly, indicating

that batteries need replacement.

Position the microphone about 12ins/30cm from the sound source. The recorder

features an Automatic Level Control (ALC) to maintain all recordings at an optimum

level. The volume control operated only during replay and therefore does not need

adjustment.

Because the microphone built into your machine is in close proximity to mechanical

moving parts, it may pick up noise from these if the recorder is operated at greater

distance that 12ins/30cm from the sound source.

Recording Using an External Microphone

Connect a low-impedance microphone to the Microphone Socket (3.5mm jack).

For microphones featuring a remote stop-start switch, connect to the Remote

Socket (2.5mm jack). Operate the recorder as above.

For maximum signal to noise performance position, place the external microphone

as close to the audio source as possible. Insertion of a jack plug into the

microphone socket automatically disconnects the built-in microphone.
