So when you record, the original recording on the same section of the tape is not erased, correct ?
When you do an automatic recording with the red record button pressed straight down and aligned with the "A" do you see any record signal on the Magic Eye valve, this is the recording level. The Magic Eye has a green display with a dark/black section, the black section width will vary in line with the amplitude of the record signal.
When you do a manual recording you twist the record button 45 degrees clockwise before pushing it down, it then is aligned with the black circle symbol. You then adjust the volume control (which is the record level control during recording) to get a strong record signal which is denoted by the black section of the Magic Eye reducing down to a narrow black vertical line on the strongest parts of the music/record signal.
For non microphone recordings the Micro button must not be pressed down, for microphone recordings the Micro button must be pressed down.
Ensure you have wired the recording cable correctly. Pin 1 for the live signal and pin 2 for the screen, at the Micro, Diode & Radio DIN connectors.
