PROTECTING TAPES FROM ACCIDENTAL ERASURE
(see fig. 3)
To safeguard a particular cassette, simply break out the left
tab. Recording on this side is no longer possible. If, however,
you wish to record over this side or a tape with open tabs,
cover the tabs with a piece of adhesive tape.
VOICE ACT (ACTivation)
VOICE ACT is a sound level sensor system which enables you
to record only when the microphone receives sound at the
preset level. The VOLUME wheel acts as the control for the
microphone sensor. If sound stops or falls below the volume
adjusted for the preset level, recording will pause hence
preventing empty recording. To activate:
1. Push VOICE ACT to ON.
2. Turn VOLUME:
Anti-clockwise – the sound level sensitivity drops and
only sound near the microphone will be
recorded.
Clockwise – sound sensitivity is increased. Distant and
background sounds will be picked up.
Note: When the recording pauses and is resumed
automatically according to the preset sound level, the
beginning of the track can be lost due to the recording
cut off and starting points.
BACKGROUND NOISE SUPPRESSION (BNS)
When in noisy surroundings, to achieve a clearer and better
defined voice recording, activate the BNS switch. The BNS
system emphasizes the frequency range of the human voice
while reducing both the high and low frequencies that usually
comprise noise. If you like, use BNS with VOICE ACT during
recording.
MAKING YOUR RECORDING
1. Open the cassette door and insert a tape (see fig. 2).
2. Press the door lightly to shut.
3. Adjust BNS and VOICE ACT to ON /OFF to suit your
recording mode (see VOICE ACT and BNS chapters above).
• If you do not wish to use the FLAT MIC built-in
microphone, insert an external microphone with a 3.5 mm
plug into the MIC socket and point to the sound source.
Make sure that you direct the microphone away from the
set to avoid a howling sound. Once the MIC is connected,
the FLAT MIC will not pick up sound.
