USING FAST-FORWARD/REWIND To rapidly wind the tape forward or backward, be sure the tape is stopped, then press FAST-F or REWIND. The cassette deck automatically stops at the end of the tape. RECORDING You can record from the CD player or radio. CAUTION: Be sure the erase-protection tabs are in place on the cassette tape you are using to record. If you try to record on a cassette tape that has had the erase protection tabs removed, you cannot press RECORD. Do not force it, as this can damage the mechanism. See "Preventing Accidental Erasure" on Faxback Doc. # 34326. NOTES: Tape quality greatly affects the quality of the recording. For low noise, wide range recordings, use normal-bias tape. We recommend regular length (60- or 90-minute) cassette tapes. We do not recommend long-play cassette tapes, such as C-120s, because they are thin and can easily tangle. The system's Automatic Level Control (ACL) automatically adjusts the recording level. VOLUME and E-BASS have no effect on recording. RECORDING FROM THE CD PLAYER 1. Insert a blank cassette tape, or one you want to record over, into the cassette compartment. 2. Set FUNCTION to CD. 3. Load a CD into the CD compartment.

USING HEADPHONES For private listening, you can connect a pair of stereo headphones (not supplied) with a 1/8-inch plug into the PHONES jack. NOTES: Your local Radio Shack store carries a wide selection of stereo headphones. Connecting headphones automatically disconnects the built-in speaker. LISTENING SAFELY To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use headphones. Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening. After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level. Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high-volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss. Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort might still damage your hearing. TRAFFIC SAFETY Do not wear headphones while operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle. This can create a traffic hazard and can be illegal in some areas. Even though some headphones let you hear some outside sounds when listening at normal volume levels, they still can present a traffic hazard. (YO/EB 8/5/96)
