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 by a tape recorder
without the REC TIME switch
function.

zGetting Started

Preparing a Power
Source

Choose one of the following power
sources.

Dry Batteries

Make sure that nothing is connected
to the DC IN 3V jack.

1 Open the battery compartment

lid.

2 Insert two size R6 (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 expended
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/REC lamps go off
and the i lamp flashes.
The BATT/REC lamps change as
illustrated.

Notes

• During FF(CUE) or REW(REVIEW),
the i lamp may flash. Only when
the tape does not run properly,
replace the batteries.

• After the batteries have been used
for a while, the BATT/REC
lamps may flicker during playback if
the volume is turned up. This is,
however, not an indication for the
batteries to be replaced.

• The unit will play back normally for
a while even after the i lamp
flashes. You should, nonetheless,
replace the batteries as soon as
possible. Otherwise, the built-in
speaker may emit a loud noise and
recordings may not be made
correctly.

• The i lamp may flash momentarily
at beginning of playback or the end
of the tape. If the flashing stops right
away, you do not need to replace the
batteries.

(see Fig. A-a)

Battery life (Approx. hours) (EIAJ*)

Sony Sony
alkaline R6P

Playback 11 3
Recording 11 3

* Measured value by the standard of

EIAJ (Electronic Industries
Association of Japan). (Using a Sony
HF series cassette tape)

Note

The battery life may shorten
depending on the operation of the
unit.

For maximum performance we
recommend that you use alkaline
batteries.

House Current

Connect the AC power adaptor to
DC IN 3V and to a wall outlet. Use
the AC-E30HG AC power adaptor
(not supplied). Do not use any other
AC power adaptor.

Polarity of

Note

Specifications for AC-E30HG vary for
each area. Check your local voltage
and the shape of the plug before
purchasing.

LR6 (SG) (SR)

the plug

zOperating 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 the counter reset button

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 to record music.

4 Set VOR to: H or L to start and

pause recording automatically
to the sound.

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 r REC.

( PLAY is pressed

simultaneously and recording
starts.
While the tape runs, the BATT/
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.

To

Stop
recording

Pause
recording

Review the
portion just
recorded

Take out
a cassette

* PAUSE c will also be

automatically released when
p STOP is pressed (stop-pause­release function).

Press or slide

p STOP

PAUSE c in the
direction of the arrow

To release pause
recording, release
PAUSE c*.

Press and hold
0 REW/REVIEW
during recording.

Release the button at the
point to start

Press p STOP and open
the cassette
compartment lid by
hand.

To monitor the sound

Connect an earphone (not supplied)
firmly to the EAR jack.

Notes

• Do not use a Hi-position (TYPE II) or
metal (TYPE IV) tape. If you do, the
sound may be distorted when you
play back the tape, or the previous
recording may not be erased
completely.

• The SPEED CONTROL switch
works in the 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 the
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 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
recording, cover the tab hole with
adhesive tape.

Recording from
Various Sound
Sources

Recording with an
External Microphone

Connect a microphone to the MIC
jack. The MIC jack is distinguished
from the earphone jack by a raised
dot. Use a microphone of low
impedance (less than 3 kilohms)
such as ECM-T115 (not supplied).
When using a plug-in-power
system microphone, the power to
the microphone is supplied from
this unit.

Note

When recording with an external
microphone, the VOR system may not
work properly due to difference in
sensitivity.

Recording from Another
Equipment

Connect another equipment to the
MIC jack using the RK-G64HG
connecting cord (not supplied).

(see Fig. C)

Playing a Tape (see

Fig. D)

1 Insert a cassette with the side to

be played facing the cassette
holder.

2 Set REC TIME to the same

position as that used for
recording.
To playback commercially sold
tapes, select NORMAL.

3 Press ( PLAY and then adjust

the volume. There is a raised
dot beside VOL to show the
direction to turn down volume.

4 Adjust the tape playback speed.

Turn SPEED CONTROL to:
SLOW (slow) to play back at a

Information

Precautions

On power

•Operate the unit only on 3V DC.
For AC operation, use the AC
power adaptor recommended for
the unit. Do not use any other
type. For battery operation, use
two size R6 (AA) batteries.

On the unit

•Do not leave the unit in a location
near heat sources, or in a place
subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust or mechanical
shock.

•Should any solid object or liquid
fall into the unit, remove the
batteries or disconnect the AC
power adaptor, and have the unit
checked by qualified personnel
before operating it any further.

•Keep personal credit cards using
magnetic coding or spring-wound
watches etc. away from the unit to
prevent possible damage from the
magnet used for the speaker.

•If the unit has not been used for a
long time, set it in the playback
mode to warm it up for a few
minutes before inserting a tape.

On tapes longer than 90
minutes

We do not recommend the use of
tapes longer than 90 minutes except
for a long continuous recording or
playback. They are very thin and
tend to be stretched easily.

Maintenance (see Fig.

E)

To clean the tape heads and
path

Depress r REC while pushing the
lever.
Wipe the heads, pinch roller, and
the capstan with a cotton swab
moistened with alcohol after every
10 hours of use.

To clean the exterior

Use a soft cloth slightly moistened
in water. Do not use alcohol,
benzine or thinner.

Troubleshooting

Should any problem persist after
you have made these checks,
consult your nearest Sony dealer.

You cannot press r REC.

•The tab on the tape has been
removed.

You cannot press ( PLAY.

•The tape has reached the end.
Rewind the tape.

The unit does not operate.

•The batteries are weak.

•PAUSE c is slid in the direction of
the arrow.

•The AC power adaptor is not
firmly connected.

•When trying to run on dry
batteries, the AC power adaptor
has been left plugged in to the DC
IN 3 V jack, but not to the power
source.

No sound comes from the
speaker.

•The earphone is plugged in.

•The volume is turned down
completely.

Tape speed is too fast or too slow
in the playback mode.

•Improper setting of the REC TIME
