I don't seem to be able to record on my X77 and don't know why. First
question is: can I use a standard cassette tape or do I need to use a
special tape? I tried using a standard cassette tape to no avail.
If someone might give me a quick lesson here I would appreciate it. I have a
guitar that I connect to the front input and then I press rec. and play. It
will play through the unit but won't record and it doesn't show any volume
on the record l.e.d graph.
Thanks,
Rudy

Standard cassette. Nothing too fancy (no metal tape, if they even
still make it)

You probably need to push some more buttons to route the guitar input
to a track. It might be as simple as selecting the track to record.

If you don't have a manual for it, try contacting Fostex and see if
they can provide you with one. I checked the US web site and didn't
see an X77 manual availabe for downloading, but you can order a copy
(a reproduction, it says, so this is probalby an old recorder) for $10. Here's
the URL: http://www.fostex.com/catalog/produc...roducts_id=228

And if you already have a manual, RTFM! I know this is Fostex, and they're
right down there with Roland for clear and understandable manuals, but
there should be something there that will help you to get recording.
