Recording the First Track
The MT400 allows signals input at MIC/LINE INPUT 1–4 to be directly recorded on Tracks

INPUT 1 will automatically select Track 1 for recording, and connecting another sound
source to MIC/LINE INPUT 3 will automatically select Track 3 for recording. This is
convenient for recording one sound source at a time.
This section explains how to record the first sound source in Track 1.

protect tabs are not broken. If they are broken, you
cannot record on the tape.
1. Open the cassette compartment cover.
2. Load the cassette into the compartment with
the A side facing up.
3. Close the cassette compartment cover.
If it is a new tape, fast forward and rewind it once to
prevent binding, which may occur due to the tape
being tightly wound during manufacturing.
4. Press the [PLAY] button to start playback, and
stop after about 20 seconds.
It is best not to use the first and last 20 seconds of a
tape, as the splice between the leader and tape can
cause distortion.
