number of tracks and the total CD time.
2 Press PROG once, then select a track using the
REV/B.SKIP or CUE/F.SKIP buttons.
3 Repeat the process until all of the required
tracks have been included.
4 Press PLAY to begin listening. The word PROG is
displayed permanently while the programmed
play list is playing.
Notes
·You can use REV/B.SKIP, CUE/F.SKIP and PAUSE
in program mode, but pressing STOP, or
ejecting the CD will cancel the memory.
·After 10 seconds of inactivity the PROG mode
will shut down. Don’t worry, simply press PROG
again to return to the mode. Any input
information will still be available (up to the last
time the PROG button was pressed).
Recording (cassette only)
Insert a blank cassette into the tape deck and
depress the RECORD key to begin recording from
the selected source.
The record level is automatically set to provide
simple, good quality recordings from External
Microphone, Auxiliary input or CD.
Note: it is not possible to record from CD and
External sources at the same time. External
microphones will only operate in TAPE mode.
·RECORDING FROM MICROPHONE
Ensure the TAPE/CD selector switch (4) is in
the OUT position. This will cause the i/p
indicator (1) to illuminate while recording.
Plug a suitable external microphone (or
microphones), such as the Coomber 1918 or
1808 models (see illustration overleaf), into
the MIC 1 or MIC 2 record input sockets (2).
Recordings WILL be in MONO only.
Depress the RECORD key on the cassette deck
to begin recording. Recording will be in
MONO only.
·RECORDING FROM AN EXTERNAL SOURCE
Ensure the TAPE/CD selector switch (4) is in
the OUT position. This will cause the i/p
indicator (1) to illuminate while recording.
Connect a guitar, keyboard or external music
source into the AUX socket (3) using a suitable
patch lead. Recordings can be in STEREO or
MONO depending upon the nature of the
source and the connecting leads used.
Depress the RECORD key on the cassette deck
to begin recording.
·RECORDING FROM A CD
Ensure the TAPE/CD selector switch (4) is in
the IN position. This will cause the CD
indicator (1) to illuminate while recording.
Insert the CD. Depress the RECORD key on the
cassette deck to begin recording and then
depress the PLAY button on the CD player.
Recording difficulties
If your recording is blank, please check that the
TAPE/CD selector switch (4) was correctly set to IN
for CD recordings or OUT for microphone /
external source recordings.
Note: If the RECORD key on the cassette
mechanism cannot be depressed, then check that
the left-hand safety tab on the top edge of your
cassette has not been removed to protect an
original recording. A cassette can be reused by
sticking a piece of self adhesive tape over the
hole.
Useful Tips
a. You may find, when replaying a recording,
that a small amount of distortion is heard at
the start, especially when the signal to be
recorded is strong (loud). This can be overcome
by allowing the automatic level control to
settle before recording. Press the PAUSE key
followed by the RECORD key. Allow a few
seconds for the level to settle. Release the
PAUSE key to start the recording.
b. Reset the turns counter to zero by depressing
the RESET button whenever you wish to return
to the start of a particular passage.
c. It is important to keep the pinch wheel and
heads clean in the usual manner to ensure
consistent good performance.
