This recorder contains microcomputers. External electronic noise or interference could cause malfunctioning. In such cases,
switch the recorder off and unplug the mains power cord. Then plug it in again and turn the recorder on. Take out the cassette.
After checking the cassette, operate the unit as usual.
RECORDING

resume points.

or a TV broadcast?
