Notes:
• It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-
record pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without
the consent of the owner of copyright in the sound
or video recording, broadcast or cable program and
in any literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic work
embodied therein.
• In recording, the ALC circuit automatically optimizes
the recording level. Adjustment of the recording level
is unnecessary.
• If a recording you made has excessive noise or static,
the unit may have been too close to a TV which was on
during the recording. Either turn off the TV or increase
the distance between the TV and the unit.
