IMPORTANT:
� It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted material without the consent of the copyright owner. � The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the other sound settings. Thus, during recording you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level. � If recordings you have made have excessive noise or static, the unit may be too close to a TV. Increase the distance between the TV and the unit. � You can use type I tape for recording.
