Preparations

To insert batteries

A

-

A

Slide open the battery compartment lid, and insert
two R6 (size AA) dry batteries (supplied with “Sony
World Model” only) with correct polarity.

Replace the batteries with new ones when “e”
flashes in the display. A-B

Notes
• For maximum performance we recommend that you

use Sony alkaline batteries.

• Be sure to replace both batteries within 2 minutes.

Otherwise, the preset radio stations will be cancelled.

To attach the battery compartment lid, if
it is accidentally detached
Attach it as illustrated. A-C

Recording

Notes
• If the record-protect tab is broken, you cannot record

on that side.

• Tapes recorded with the REC TIME/PLAY MODE

switch in the DOUBLE position cannot be played
properly on a cassette player/tape recorder without
the REC TIME/PLAY MODE switch function.

• Use new batteries when recording.
• If a howling occurs, turn down the volume.
• When recording with the microphone, the sound to be

recorded cannot be heard through the speakers.

1 Insert a normal (TYPE I) tape. B

To record on both sides:
Insert the cassette with the side to be first
recorded on as the FWD side, and set DIR to
FWD.
To record on one side only:
Insert the cassette with the side to be
recorded on as the REV side, and set DIR to
REV.

2 Set REC TIME/PLAY MODE to the desired

position.
NORMAL (4.8 cm/s): for optimum sound.
Recommended for normal recordings.
DOUBLE (2.4 cm/s): for double recording
time (for example, 120 minutes using both
sides of a 60-minute cassette). Suitable for
recording conferences, dictations, etc. Not
recommended to record music.

3 Select a recording source.

To record with the built-in microphone
(Flat Mic):
Place the unit on a hard surface (such as a
desk) with the cassette holder side down, so
that the microphone can record effectively.
To record from the radio:
Tune in to the station you want to record
(see “Listening to the Radio”).

4 Press z REC. Y PLAY is pressed

simultaneously and recording starts. The
recording level is automatically adjusted.

To reduce noise while recording AM
programs
Set the ISS (Interference Suppress Switch) to the
position that reduces noise the most.

To monitor the recording sound
You can monitor the recording sound through
headphones/earphones. Adjust monitoring level
using VOL.

Notes on recording
• The recording level is fixed.
• Adjusting the volume or setting AVLS (see “Using

Other Functions”) will not affect the recording level.
These controls only change the sound level you hear.

• Actual recording will start about 2 seconds after you

press z REC. Press z REC about 2 seconds before the
moment you want to start recording, or you will miss
the beginning of your recording.

• When recording on both sides, recording will not be

made for about 10 seconds while the tape is switching
sides.

• Do not use a high-position (TYPE II) or metal (TYPE

IV) tape. If you do, the sound may be distorted when
you play back the tape, or the previous recording may
not be erased completely.

• Do not connect or disconnect the headphones/

earphones to/from the i jack while recording from the
radio. The recording condition may change abruptly,
or noise may be recorded.

• When recording with the microphone, do not place it

near a lamp cord or a fluorescent lamp as this may
cause interference noise.

• For other operations, stop recording first.
• DIR will not work while recording. Do not force

changing the setting, as the unit may malfunction.

• The frequency will change if you switch TUNE MODE

while recording the radio.

To prevent a tape from being accidentally
recorded over
C
Break off the tabs from side A and/or B. To reuse the
tape for recording, cover the tab hole with adhesive
tape.
