C. Crane VersaCorder Dual Speed Recorder Stereo System User Manual


 
We recommend high quality, 110 minute cassette tapes for use in the
VersaCorder. In tests, these tapes provide an acceptable balance
between maximum play/recording time and prolonged tape life. Longer
cassette tapes are available, however the tape material is very thin and
may stretch or break during operation. With the extra long tapes, any
cassette player is more likely to “eat” the tape.
1) Press the
STOP
/
EJECT
Button to open the lid.
2) Insert the cassette as shown (above).
3) Once the tape is inserted correctly, close the cassette door gently.
STOP/EJECT
The VersaCorder has the ability to record in
NORMAL
speed for best
audio quality. When extended recordings of talk radio, speeches and
lectures, telephone conversations, or any format that does not require a
high-fidelity recording is desired, the VersaCorder can be switched into
QUARTER
speed mode. This mode will record 4 times longer than
NOR-
MAL
speed, however, record quality for music is reduced. If a recording
is made in
QUARTER
speed, it can only be played back in a
QUARTER
speed player (unless you want voices to sound like chipmunks).
