Welcome !

Thank you for purchasing the Sony
Cassette-Corder.
This Cassette-Corder is equipped
with a REC TIME switch that lets
you record double the normal
length on any cassette.

Note

Tapes recorded with the REC TIME
switch in the DOUBLE position cannot
be played properly on a tape recorder
without the REC TIME switch
function.

BGetting Started

Preparing a Power
Source

Dry Batteries

1 Open the battery compartment

lid.

2 Insert two R6 (size AA)

batteries with correct polarity
and close the lid.

Notes

• Do not charge a dry battery.

• Do not use a new battery with an old
one.

• Do not use different types of
batteries.

• When you do not use the unit for a
long time, remove the batteries to
avoid any damage caused by battery
leakage and subsequent corrosion.

•Dry batteries will not be drained
when another power source is
connected.

To take out the batteries
(see Fig. A-B)

To attach the battery
compartment lid if it is
accidentally detached (see
Fig. A-C)

When to replace the
batteries (see Fig.A-D)

Replace the batteries with new ones
when the BATT lamp goes off and
the E lamp flashes.

Notes

• The unit will play back normally for
a while, even after the E lamp
flashes. However, replace the
batteries as soon as you can. If not,
the playback cannot be made with
normal sound, noise may be
recorded and the recorded sound
will not be loud enough.

•The E lamp flashes to indicate
battery replacement during
playback, recording and pause
(during paused by VOR function
also).

• In the following cases you do not
need to replace the batteries:
– if the BATT lamp flashes with the

playback sound when you turn up
the volume.

– if the E lamp lights momentarily

when the tape starts running or at
the end of the tape.

– if the E lamp flashes during FF/

CUE or REW/REVIEW.

BOperating the Unit

Recording

(see Fig. B-A, B)

You can record right away with the
built-in microphone.
Make sure that nothing is connected
to the MIC jack.
Place the unit on a hard surface
such as a desk with the cassette
holder side up so that the flat mic
can record effectively.

1 Press TAPE COUNTER to reset

the tape counter.

2 Insert a normal (TYPE I) tape

with the side to be recorded
facing the cassette holder.

3 Set REC TIME to the desired

mode.
NORMAL (4.8cm/s): for
optimum sound.
Recommended for normal
recordings.
DOUBLE (2.4cm/s): for double
recording time (for example,
120 minutes using both sides of
a 60-minute cassette). Suitable
for recording conferences,
dictations, etc. Not
recommended for recording
music.

4 Set VOR to: H or L to start and

pause recording automatically,
depending on the recording
condition.

H (high) to record at
meetings or in a quiet and/
or spacious place.
L (low) to record for
dictation or in a noisy

place.
Set VOR to OFF to start and
stop recording manually.

Note

When the sound to be recorded is
not loud enough, set the VOR
switch to OFF, or the unit may
not start recording.

5 Press z REC.

N PLAY is pressed

simultaneously and recording
starts.
While the tape is running, the
REC lamp lights and flickers
depending on the strength of
the sound.

At the end of the tape, recording
stops and the unit turns off
automatically.

so, the sound may be distorted when
you play back the tape, or the
previous recording may not be
erased completely.

• The SPEED CONTROL switch (see
reverse side) works in Playback
mode only. Recording will be made
independent of this control.

Notes on VOR (Voice Operated
Recording)

• When you use the VOR system in a
noisy place, the unit will stay in
Recording mode. If the sound is too
soft, on the contrary, the unit will
not start recording. Set VOR to H
(high) or L (low), depending on the
conditions to pick up the necessary
sound only.

• The VOR system depends on the
environmental conditions. If you
cannot get the desired results even
after adjusting VOR to H or L, set
VOR to OFF.

To prevent a tape from
being accidentally recorded
over (see Fig. B-C)

Break off and remove the cassette
tabs. To reuse the tape for
