a Cassette
Recorder
The

as an
example
.
If you use
a different recorder,
connection and
operation
may
vary.
Note: You do not need

the
Cassette Recorder unless

to record
programs
or to load
taped
programs into
the

cable is included with
the
CTR-80A; we

the
smaller gray plug

.
)
Note: Do not plug
a remote microphone
or
a dummy plug into the
larger
MIC jack.
Connection
to an AC Power
Source
Make sure the
Computer
and all peripherals
are off.
The AC Power
Cord exits
from the rear
of the Computer. Connect
it
and all
peripherals
to an appropriate
power
source. Power requirements
for
Radio Shack
products
are specified
on the units and
in the Owner's Manual
Specifications.
For convenience
,
you
may connect
all components to
a
single
"power
strip"
such
as
Radio
Shack's 26-1451
Line Filter.
This will allow you to
turn on the
entire
system
with
a
single

Take care not
to exceed the current
