Tandy Color Computer 3 User Manual

Using the Cassette Recorder
Making the
Right
Connections
Connect the cassette recorder to the
computer
if
you
wish
to
record
and save
your
programs, use cassette- based prerecorded programs,
or use
a program (such as
Color SCRIPSIT) that requires
a cassette
recorder
to
store
information.
The following
instructions assume
you
are
using
the
CCR-81 Cassette
Recorder.
A
Color
Computer/Cassette
Recorder connection
cable
is included
with
your CCR-81,
and we suggest
you
use this particular
cable
because it is specially designed
for cassette
recorder
installation.
1. Connect
the
DIN
plug
on
the
short
cable
(DIN
plug
on
one end
and three plugs
on
the other)
to
the CASS jack
on
the
back
of
the
computer
Be sure you get
the
plug
connected
securely.
2. The
three
plugs
on
the other end
of
this cable
connect
to
the
recorder:
A.
Connect
the
black
plug into
the EAR
jack on
the
side
of
the
recorder. This
connection provides
the output
signal
from
the
recorder
to
the computer for loading
tape programs into the
Color
Computer.
B. Connect the larger
gray plug into
the AUX
jack on
the
recorder. This connection provides
the
recording signal
to
record
programs from
the computer onto
the
tape.
Leave
the
AUX
plug in whether
you
are recording
or
playing back cassette
data.
C. Connect the
smaller
gray plug
into the smaller MIC
jack
on
the
recorder. This lets
the computer automatically control the
recorder motor (turn tape motion on
and off
for recording
and
playing
tapes).
Note: Do not plug a remote microphone or
a
dummy
plug
into the
larger
MIC jack.
Adjust
the
volume
control
on your cassette
recorder carefully.
With
the CCR-81
recorder,
set the volume between 3 and
10.
The
recommended setting
is
5.
