Sony TCM-465V - Manuel (Page 4)

п
Welcome!
Thank you for purchasing the Sony Cassette-Corder.
Some features are:
• VOR (Voice Operated Recording) system that starts and stops recording
automatically in response to the sound, to save tapes and batteries
(TCM-465V/459V only).
• SPEED CONTROL function that lets you increase or decrease the tape
playback speed.
• High sensitive flat mic picks up a wide range of sound clearly (TCM-
459V/36 only).
•Pop-up microphone system allows you to use the microphone properly
by adjusting it to the situation (TCM-465V only).
When the microphone is in the standing position, it works as an
unidirectional microphone and picks up sound coming from the front
side clearly.
When the microphi>ne is at the flat position, it picks up a wide range of
sound clearly.
• Cue marker function to mark a desired portion during recording (TCM-
465V only)
•Three BATT/REC lamps indicate the remaining battery power in two
steps and the lamp indicates when to replace the batteries.
► Getting Started
Preparing a Power Source
Choose one of the following power sources.
D r y Batteries (see Fig. 13-®)
Make sure that nothing is connected to the DC IN 3V jack.
1 Open the battery compartment lid.
2 Insert two size R6 (AA) batteries (supplied to TCM-36 only) with
correct polarity and close the lid.
Notes
• Do not charge a dry battery.
• Do not use a new battery with an old one.
• Do not use different types of batteries.
• When you do not use the unit for a long time, remove the batteries to
avoid any damage caused by battery leakage and subsequent corrosion.
• Dry batteries will not be expended when another power source is
connected.
To take out the batteries (see Fig. Q-®)
To attach the battery compartment lid if it is
accidentally detached (see Fig. I3-®)
When to replace the batteries (see Fig.Q-®)
Replace the batteries with new ones when the BATT/REC lamps go off
and the lamp flashes.
The BATT/REC lamps change as illustrated:
Notes
• During FF(CUE) or REW(REVIEW), the lamp may flash. Only when
the tape does not run properly, replace the batteries.
• In some cases when the unit is used with rechargeable batteries, only
one BATT/REC lamp will light even though the batteries have been
fully charged.
• After the batteries have been used for a while, the BATT/REC
lamps may flash with the playback sound when you turn up the
volume; however, this does not mean that you need to replace the
batteries.
• The unit will play back normally for a while even after the lamp
flashes. However, replace the batteries’as soon as you can. If you do not,
a loud noise may be emitted by the built-in speaker or subsequent
recording will not be done correctly.
• When the tape starts running or at the end of the tape the lamp may
momentarily light. If the lamp goes off, you do not need to replace the
batteries.
