Sequential Split-Eight - Cassette Interface Operations; Saving Programs to Cassette; Loading Programs from Cassette

CASSETTE INTERFACE
Use the cassette interface to provide long-term storage for your
programs.
Note: It is recommended that portable recorders equipped with
automatic level control (AIX) be used with this interface.
Connections
1. If necessary, disconnect footswitch from CASS/FTSW IN jack.
2. Connect EAR output of tape recorder to CASS/FTSW IN jack.
3. Connect CASS OUT jack to MIC input of tape recorder.
Save
1- Start recorder (in Record mode).
2. Wait for the tape leader to pass.
3. Hold down Record and press PROGRAM SELECT 6.
4. When pilot tone appears, adjust level to 0 dB (if not using ALC).
5. While the Split-Eight is saving, only this switch remains lit.
6. After less than one minute, PROGRAM SELECT 7 blinks to
indicate that verification should be done.
7. Stop the recorder.
Verify
1. Rewind to the start of the recording.
2. PROGRAM SELECT 7 is still blinking.
3. Adjust playback level to approximately 50% of full level.
4. Start the recorder (in play mode).
5. Just after you hear the pilot tone, press PROGRAM SELECT 7. It
should stop blinking and light steadily.
6. When the LED goes out, the recording has been verified.
7. If the LED instead blinks, there has been a verification error. It is
possible that the tape is not recorded correctly but more likely that
recorder output level is not set to match the interface. It sometimes
takes a few tries to find the correct levels for your specific recorder.
If a cassette will not verify (or load) with several different levels, try
a new cassette or different recorder.
Load
Note; Loading erases the current contents of memory. Therefore,
before proceeding, make sure that you have already saved important
programs.
1. Set recorder output level as for verification (above).
2. Start recorder in playback.
