Playing a Tape
If you set DIRECTION to REV, the recorder
plays only the reverse side and stops at the
end of that side.
If you move DIRECTION from REV to FWD
during playback, the recorder stops.
Continuous playback: plays both sides of the
tape continuously until you press STOP.
•Set REC SPEED to NORM for tapes that
have been prerecorded on other recorders
or recorded with the normal record setting on
this recorder. Or set REC SPEED to EXT for
tapes that have been recorded with the
extended record setting on this recorder.
Recording
The recorder records on one side of the
tape, automatically reverses the tape’s
direction, records on the reverse side of the
tape, then automatically stops.
You can use an earphone (not supplied) to
monitor a recording in progress.
To pause recording, slide PAUSE in the
direction of the arrow. To resume recording,
slide PAUSE to the other position.
Voice-activated recording saves power and
tape if there are long or frequent pauses in
the material you are recording.
Tapes recorded at EXT can play only on this
recorder or on another recorder that has the
extended recording feature.

To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use an earphone.
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.
6TCHHKE"5CHGV[
Do not wear an earphone while operating
a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle. This
can create a traffic hazard and could be
illegal in some areas.
Even though some earphones let you hear
some outside sounds when listening at
normal volume levels, they still can
present a traffic hazard.
