Adjust the volume using the LOAD LEVEL control (or the VOLUME
control.) Start at a midway point, which is "5" on the Data
Recorder, The PC-8201 will not be able to identify the signals
being sent by the recorder if this adjustment is net correct.
With ordinary cassette recorders it is necessary to experiment with
different volume levels until the computer is able to pick up the
signals. You can leave the volume control at the same setting once
you have determined what level is best for your equipment.
During the loading of information from the recorder to the PC-8201,
the LOAD (Play) button is depressed. When information is saved
(recorded) on cassette tape the LOAD (Play) and SAVE (Record)
buttons are depressed simultaneously. Since the recorder is set up
to be activated by remote control, the tape will not revolve until the
computer activates the recorder.
You should be aware that standard cassette tapes have a
blank leader section of tape at the beginning. You
should always forward the tape slightly to get the
magnetic portion into position for use.
