To record

When recording, you must use either the lectern or lapel microphone as an audio input. The unit will automatically switch the tape over to the B side when it reaches the end of the A side. The unit requires about 8 secs to do this.

To confirm that it is recording correctly do a test before the lecture starts. Check the left and right level indicators on the tape deck which will fluctuate in sync with the recording audio.
