RECORDING
You can record from the CD player,
radio, or another tape.
Notes:
The CD-3329’s Automatic Level
Control (ALC) automatically ad-
justs the recording level.
VOLUME
has no effect on recording.
Tape quality greatly affects the
quality of the recording. We rec-
ommend regular length (60- or 90-
minute) cassette tapes. We do not
recommend long-play cassette
tapes such as C-120s because
they are thin and can easily tan-
gle. For low-noise, wide-range
recordings, use normal-bias tape.
Before you load a cassette tape
for recording, turn the cassette’s
hub with your finger or a pencil to
move the tape past its leader.
Before recording, be sure the
erase-protection tabs are in place
on the cassette tape you are using
to record. See “Preventing Acci-
dental Erasure” on Page 20.
If you want to skip an unwanted sec-
tion during recording, you can tempo-
rarily stop recording by pressing
PAUSE
on Tape 1 while the unwanted
section plays. To resume recording,
press
PAUSE
on Tape 1 again.
Caution:
If you try to record on a
cassette tape that has had the
erase-protection tabs removed,
you cannot press down
RECORD
.
Do not force it, as this can dam-
age the mechanism.
