Recording Using the Built-In 
Microphone
Your cassette recorder has a built-in
condenser microphone on the front. To
record with the built-in microphone, fol-
low the steps in “Recording from the
Radio” on Page 19. But, instead of tun-
ing to a radio station in Step 4, simply
position the DX-392 near the source
you are recording. Then continue with
Step 6.
