If you do so, the sound may be distorted when you play back the tape, or the previous recording may not be erased completely. Recording will be made independent of this control. Use the AC-E30HG AC power adaptor (not supplied) or the supplied AC power adaptor (TCM-230DV/210DV only). Check your local voltage and the shape of the plug before purchasing. â· Do not touch the AC power adaptor with wet hands. You can record right away with the built-in microphone. Make sure that nothing is connected to the MIC jack. Choose one of the following power sources. Make sure that nothing is connected to the DC IN 3V jack. Insert two R6 (size AA) batteries (supplied to TCM220DV only) with correct polarity and close the lid. When you use the system in a noisy place, the unit will stay in the recording mode. If the sound is too soft, on the contrary, the unit will not start recording. Set it to H (high) or L (low) so that the system will pick up the necessary sound only. If you cannot get the results you want, set it to OFF. â· The VOR system may not record the beginning of the sound you want to record because it starts recording only after it catches the sound. Turn SPEED CONTROL to: SLOW (slow) to play back at a slower speed. Center position to play back at normal speed. FAST (fast) to play back at a faster speed. Keep personal credit cards using magnetic coding or spring-wound watches, etc. Away from the unit to prevent possible damage from the magnet used in the speaker. â· If the unit has not been used for a long time, set it in the playback mode to warm it up for a few minutes before inserting a tape. [. . . ] When recording with an external microphone, the VOR system may not work properly due to difference in sensitivity. ** If you leave the unit after the tape has been wound or rewound, the batteries will be consumed rapidly. Playback may not start automatically even if you release m REW/ REVIEW at the end of the tape. To start playback again, press x STOP, then press N PLAY. [. . . ]
