Recording from

Various Sound

Sources

(see Fig. C)

(TCM-200DV only)

Recording with an

External Microphone

Connect a microphone to the MIC

jack.

There is a tactile dot beside the MIC jack.

Use a microphone of low

impedance (less than 3 kΩ) such as

the ECM-115 (not supplied).

When using a plug-in-power

system microphone, the power to

the microphone is supplied from

this unit.

Note

When recording with an external

microphone, the VOR system may not

work properly due to difference in

sensitivity .

Recording from Another

Equipment

Connect another equipment to the

MIC jack using the RK-G64HG

connecting cord (not supplied).

Playing a Tape (see

Fig. D)

1 Insert a cassette with the side to

be played facing the cassette

holder.

2 For TCM-200DV only:

Set REC TIME/PLAY MODE to

the same position as that used

for recording.

To playback commercially

available music tape, etc., select

NORMAL.

3 Press N PLAY and then adjust

the volume.

The N PLAY button has a tactile

dot on it and the VOL control also

has a tactile dot beside it to show the

direction to turn up the volume.

4 For TCM-200DV only:

Adjust the tape playback speed.

Turn SPEED CONTROL to:

SLOW (slow) to play back at a

slower speed.

Center position to play back at

normal speed.

FAST (fast) to play back at a

faster speed.

At the end of the tape, playback

stops and the unit turns off

automatically.

If you plug in headphones (not

supplied) to the EAR jack, you will

get monaural output from both left

and right channels.

BAdditional

Information

Precautions

On power

•Operate the unit only on 3 V DC.

For AC operation, use the AC

power adaptor recommended for

the unit. Do not use any other

type. For battery operation, use

two R6 (size AA) batteries.

On the unit

•Do not leave the unit in a location

near heat sources, or in a place

subject to direct sunlight,

excessive dust or mechanical

shock.

•Should any solid object or liquid

fall into the unit, remove the

batteries or disconnect the AC

power adaptor, and have the unit

checked by qualified personnel

before operating it any further.

•Keep personal credit cards using

magnetic coding or spring-wound

watches, etc. away from the unit

to prevent possible damage from

the magnet used in the speaker.

•If the unit has not been used for a

long time, set it in the playback

mode to warm it up for a few

minutes before inserting a tape.

On tapes longer than 90

minutes

We do not recommend the use of

tapes longer than 90 minutes except

for a long continuous recording or

playback. They are very thin and

tend to be stretched easily. This

may cause malfunction of the unit

or sound deterioration.

If you have any questions or

problems concerning your unit,

please consult your nearest Sony

dealer.

Maintenance

(see Fig. E)

To clean the tape heads and

path

Press z REC while pushing the

lever in the tape compartment.

Wipe the heads, pinch roller, and

the capstan with a cotton swab

moistened with alcohol after every

10 hours of use.

To clean the exterior

Use a soft cloth slightly moistened

in water. Do not use alcohol,

benzine or thinner.

Troubleshooting

Should any problem persist after

you have made these checks,

consult your nearest Sony dealer.
