General information on recording

Important!

Recording is only possible on tape deck 2.

Recording is permissible insofar as copyright or other rights of
third parties are not infringed upon.

For recording on this set you should use a cassette of the type
NORMAL (IEC type I). This deck is not suitable for recording on

cassettes of the type CHROME (IEC type II) or METAL (IEC
type IV).

The recording level is set automatically. The VOLUME and DBB
controls do not affect the recording.

At the very beginning and end of the tape, no recording will take
place in the 7 seconds during which the leader tape passes the
recorder heads.

Protecting tapes from accidental erasure

Keep the cassette side to be protected in front of you and snap off
the left tab. Now, recording on this side is no longer possible.

To record again on this side of the cassette, cover the aperture
with a piece of adhesive tape.

Environmental information

All redundant packing material has been omitted. We have done our utmost to make the
packaging easily separable into three mono materials: cardboard (box), polystyrene foam (buffer)
and polyethylene (bags, protective foam sheet).
