Educational Recorders

We have six audio cassette language testing stations in the IMC. Each has a Sony ER-8020 Educational Recorder.

These Educational Recorders work almost the same as an ordinary tape player except for a couple of minor differences:

* Independent Program and Student volume controls (The Program is what the professor pre-records, the Student is the volume of the microphone in the headset attached to the unit.)

* External audio input / output (Which is why you get computer sound in the headsets)

* Phrases / Instructions can be automatically repeated using A-B Repeat.

Orient yourself with the deck:

How to use:

1. To turn on the power press the attendance button (located upper left on the unit). When the unit is powered on you should see a red 000 on the display.
2. The cassette control buttons (rewind, stop, play etc..) are the same as any normal tape player. There is also an extra control button that allows playback (A-B Repeat) and the record button allows you play the program and record simultaneously.
3. To adjust the program volume turn the Program Volume button until you find a comfortable setting. Do the same for the Student Volume.
