3.) Set the TAPE SELECTOR SWITCH found on the left side of the recorder to match with the

type of cassette being used. This selects the proper bias and internal recorder equalization to suit

the most common types of cassette tapes.

NORM normal ferric oxide tapes

CrO2 chromium dioxide and other tapes requiring 70ms EQ and high bias

4.) Set the RECORD LEVEL MODE SELECT SWITCH on the front panel of the recorder to

the "ALC" position.

5.) Set the TAPE SPEED SELECT SWITCH on the front panel of the recorder to either the

"LOW" or "STANDARD" position. "STANDARD" position will set tape speed to 1 7/8 IPS and

will give you 45 minutes of recording time per side from a C-90 cassette tape. The "LOW"

position slows down the tape speed to 15/16 IPS and will provide 90 minutes of recording time per

side from a C-90 tape.

NOTE: QUALITY OF THE RECORDING MAY DETERIORATE BY USING THE "LOW" TAPE

SPEED POSITION.

NOTE: DO NOT CHANGE THE SPEED SELECT SWITCH DURING RECORDING!
