be inserted in socket ©, of your recorder, and the 5 -pin plug in-
serted in the TAPE or DIODE socket of the radio, amplifier or other
tape recorder being used.
Note 1: The recording level will not usually be affected by the vol-
ume and tone controls on the radio/amplifier.
Note 2: Playback through the radio or amplifier will also be possi-
ble with this connection.
For use with equipment not having a DIN tape socket, the 5 -pin
plug of the connecting lead may be replaced by a plug or plugs of
the kind required. In this case, one of the wires of the connecting
lead (the one wired to pin ®, of the 3 -pin plug) is used for the re-
cording signal, and the other (the one wired to pin 3 of the 3-pin
plug) is used for the playback signal. The screening of the lead
should be used as a common earth wire. When recording or play-
ing back via stereo equipment in this way, it may be necessary to
connect both stereo channels together.
Should either the recording or playback signals be found to be too
strong, a resistor may be connected in series with the appropriate
wire. The value of this resistor must be found experimentally, and
in case of difficulty you should consult your dealer.
Crystal or ceramic pick-ups may be connected directly to socket
©, with a standard 5 -pin DIN plug. Pins 5 and 3 of the plug should
be used for the right and left-hand channels respectively, and pin
2 for the earth (screening) wire.
RECORDING
Introduction
• During recording, a previous recording on the same section of
tape is automatically erased.
• The strength at which the sound is recorded on the tape deter-
mines the quality of the sound obtainable on playback. If the 're-
cording level', as this is called, is too low, too much noise (hiss) will
be heard on playback. If the recording level is too high, distortion
will be heard on playback. However, a special circuit in the recor-
der ensures that all sounds are recorded at the correct level so
that there is no need for you to check or adjust anything.
• Recording is not affected by the position of the volume and tone
controls of a radio etc. equipped with a recorder connection soc-
ket.
• If recording from a radio etc. not having a recorder connection
socket, set the volume control to normal listening level and the
tone control(s) to maximum treble.
