Recording
IMPORTANT:
� It may be unlawful to record or playback copyrighted material without the consent of the copyright owner. � The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the volume control. Thus, during recording you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to � without affecting the recording level. While recording, you can hear sound modes and/or the HBS sound effect through the speakers. However, the sound is recorded without these effects (see page 9). 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. Use only type I normal tapes for recording.
