VOX Recording
When you use VOX recording, the re-
corder automatically begins recording
when it senses a voice or other sound,
then automatically stops when the
sound stops.
To start VOX recording, set VOX to ON
then adjust VOLUME/VOX SENS to set
the sound level at which recording be-
gins. Rotating
VOLUME/VOX SENS to the
left increases the VOX sensitivity. The
higher the VOX sensitivity, the lower the
sound level is needed to start VOX re-
cording.
Recording from a Connected
Audio Source
You can record directly from an external
audio source, such as a radio, tape
deck, or CD player. To make the con-
nection, you need a suitable mono patch
cord with a

-inch (3.5-mm) plug (avail-
able at your local RadioShack store).
Note: Before you connect an external
audio source to the recorder, be sure
the source’s volume control is set to its
minimum setting.
Follow these steps to record from an ex-
ternal audio source.
Note: If you previously connected an ex-
ternal microphone, disconnect it.
1. Load a blank cassette tape, or one
you want to record over, into the
cassette compartment.
2. Connect the external source to the
AUX jack using a patch cord with a
1 /

-inch plug.
3. Start the external audio source and
set its volume control to a normal lis-
tening level.

Both PLAY and RECORD lock down.
Note: To temporarily stop recording,

the tape when it reaches the end of
