SANAKO LAB 100 MASTER CASSETTE USER GUIDE
OVERVIEW
A durable plug-and-play cassette recorder designed especially for using C-cassette based
teaching materials with the SANAKO Lab 100 digital language lab. Unlike other cassette
decks the Lab 100 cassette recorder contains a special digital input and output interface to
the SANAKO Lab 100 system.
In addition to standard cassette recorder functions the unit allows for adjustment of the
program playback speed. This means the teacher can adjust the program to the listening
level of the class.
With its built in Program Source Interface (Lab 100 PSI), the SANAKO Lab 100 Master
Cassette can be used to connect a second audio program source (e.g. CD player) to the
Lab 100 system.
This document explains how you can connect the SANAKO Lab 100 Master Cassette to
the SANAKO Lab 100 language learning systems in order to play audio material from
cassettes to students.
