ENGLISH

If the recording source is analog (
[ANALOG]
lit), use the INPUT controls to adjust the
level received from the connected playback
unit.
Set the level as high as possible without allowing
the meters shown in the upper part of the display
to reach the clipping point.
The outer part of the INPUT controls
adjusts the level of the left channel
, and
the inner part adjusts the level of the right
channel
. Normally, both parts will move in tan-
dem when you move one part, but you can adjust
the left and right levels individually by holding
down one part while you move the other.
Caution
The INPUT control setting has no effect if the recording
source is a digital signal.
Note
The INPUT control adjusts the level of the input signal
from the ANALOG IN (UNBALANCED) L/R jacks before
it is converted to a digital signal.

Use the following procedure to set the level
(digital volume) that is recorded on the disc.
1
As described in
“Basic operation in Menu
mode” (
→
p.12), access the
“VOLUME?”
menu item and press the ENTER button.
The display will indicate
“Vol> XXXdB”
(adjustable in a range of –54.0 to 0.0 to +18.0).
2
Turn the MULTI JOG dial to set the
recording level.
If an analog signal is being input, the ideal is
to adjust the level in step 2 using the INPUT
controls, and set the digital volume at 0 dB.
If a digital signal is being input, use this set-
ting to compensate when the level of the signal
is too low or too high.
Caution
Be aware that the signal will clip if you raise the digital
volume inappropriately.
3
Press the MENU button or the ENTER button
to return from menu mode to normal mode.
