Mic Mixing Recording
This function allows you to record your voice and another audio
source together on a cassette tape.
<
The mic sound is fed into both the Left and Right channels so
it is located in the center of the stereo image.
< You have the choice of either selecting the audio source you
want on the amplifier connected to the LINE IN jacks of the
deck, or plugging the desired source directly into the deck’s
LINE IN jacks.
<
To prevent feedback (howling), disable the speaker outputs
from the amplifier. Use headphones to monitor recording.
< This cassette deck is not compatible with stereo mics. Always
use a mono mic.

2.Start playing the audio source, switch the deck into the
record-pause mode (by pressing the RECORD button), and
temporarily adjust the REC LEVEL control to a relatively low
level.
3. Speak into the mic and adjust the MIC level control to get the
optimum balance between your voice and the other source.
4.Fine tune the overall recording level using the REC LEVEL
control so that the level meter reads 0 dB at peaks.
5. When everything is ready, start recording as instructed earlier
in this manual.
