If your talking about one of those cassette recorders its a piece of cake. You probably wont need the manual as long as you understand how a multitrack cassette works. Even if you dont it aint hard to learn.

Yeah its a 4 track cassette. The only thing is, is that it didnt come with the power adapter. i dont know how hard those are to find but for how much i payed i though that it was alright.

I have one of those Tascam portastudi 4 track cassette machines as well. Mine also does not have a power cord. It's a standard 9V power supply. I often use my SP202 with batteries and use the 202's power supply with my 4track. Won't be a problem to find one at all.
