of battery power.  We recommend you use TYPE 1 (normal) tape (printed on
the tape cassette).

    want to record on facing forward.

    starts after about 8 seconds. 

The recording level is adjusted automatically.

Adjusting the volume, rotary equalizer or MEGA BASS will not affect the
recording level.  However, these controls will change the sound levels you
hear through speakers or headphones.

    seconds.
