RETRO-40 OPERATION
LOADING AND REMOVING CASSETTES
Depress the Stop/Eject key fully to open the cassette compartment lid. Before inserting a cassette, check the tape tension
and make sure that any slack is taken up. This can be done by inserting a pencil into one of the hub-holes and turning to
take up the slack. This simple operation will prevent tape-spill and loop-throwing, both of which can physically damage
the tape and spoil recordings.
Insert the cassette into the guide on the cassette compartment lid with the exposed tape in the face of the cassette
facing the front of the machine. Ensure the cassette is located rmly within the guides on the cassette compartment lid.
Close the lid. The cassette is now ready for use.
To remove cassettes, fully depress the STOP/EJECT key. Do not attempt to remove cassettes without rst disengaging any
function by using the STOP Key.
Do not attempt to load cassettes when the mechanism is engaged.
A green surge protector is located on the bottom of the power compartment via the space provided in the back of the shelf.
RECORDING USING THE BUILT-IN MICROPHONE
Position the microphone 6-12" (15-30cm) from the sound source. The recorder features an Automatic Level Control (ALC)
to maintain all recordings at an optimum level. Please note that the volume control is only for playback volume control
and has no impact on the recording level.
Recording Using an External Microphone (not included)
Connect a low-impedance microphone to the LINE IN jack. For maximum signal to noise performance, place the external
Line-in jack as close to the audio source as possible. An external microphone plugged into the line input jack
automatically disables the built-in, internal microphone.
BLUETOOTH AUDIO
RETRO-40 works with Bluetooth devices. To do so, set the source selector switch to USB BT mode. Enable Bluetooth on
your device and pair it to "QFX RETRO-40". Once paired, you can play Bluetooth audio/music directly from your device
and listen to it through the Retro-40 speaker.
USB MUSIC PLAYER
RETRO-40 can play MP3 music les stored on USB drives. Select the USB BT switch on the side of the unit. Insert the USB
drive into the USB port. It will begin playing the rst song le. Use the REW and FWD buttons to move one trackback or
forward (short-press) or to scan the music backward or forward (press-hold).
If Bluetooth audio is enabled while a USB drive is plugged in at the same time, you can switch between sources by
long-press on the MODE button.
TAPE RECORDING FROM BLUETOOTH OR USB
Additionally, you can also record Bluetooth audio and USB music onto cassette tapes for making your own custom mix
tapes. Insert a recordable cassette tape (make sure the tab at the top-left of the tape has not been removed) into the
cassette mechanism. Play Bluetooth audio or USB music and press REC/PLAY on the cassette tape recorder. Press STOP
when you are done recording. Then select TAPE switch on the side of the unit, press rewind on the tape to go to the
beginning of your recording, press STOP and then PLAY to hear your tape recording.
AUTO-STOP
The cassette recorder incorporates a mechanical auto-stop which automatically disengages the playback or recording
functions at the end of a cassette. This function does not operate in either the fast-forward or rewind modes.
If a cassette triggers the auto-stop before reaching the end of the tape, the tape may have become too tightly wound or has
wound ridges, causing too much friction. This can normally be corrected by tapping the cassette tape face down on a at
surface and then winding the tape through, from end to end, in your machine.
FAST-FORWARD AND REWIND
The fast-forward (F.F) and rewind (REW) keys allow rapid location of a particular section of tape. Function of either key is
canceled by using the Stop key.
Always use the STOP key to halt the tape. Attempting to go from winding to play is likely to damage the tape, and may
cause damage to the mechanism. You must stop the tape from rewinding once it reached the end as it will not auto-stop.
The tape mechanism may be damaged if rewinding is left unattended. Always use the Stop key once the cassette has
wound through to one end.
PROTECTING RECORDINGS
Normally, anything recorded on the tape is automatically erased when a new recording is made.
You can protect your recordings from accidental erasure by removing the erase lock tabs on the rear of the cassette. When
the cassette is held with the recorded side up, the protective tab can be found on the left side of the rear edge of the
cassette. All pre-recorded cassettes are protected in this way to prevent accidental erasure of the commercial recording.
