ADJUSTING THE RECORDING LEVEL
The adjustment of the recording level is the
most important factor in achieving good
recording results. A high level provides a good
signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range, but an
excessively high level distorts the sound. If the
level is set too low for fear of sound distortion,
irritating tape hiss will mar the recording. The
characteristics of tapes differ depending on the

manufacturer and the type of tape. Set the
REC
LEVEL control
so that the level meter’s “
–3 dB
”
indicator lights steadily most of the time. No
harm will be done if the “0 dB” indicator lights
momentarily at peaks. When recording without
Dolby NR, set the
REC LEVEL control
so that
the “
–3 dB
” indicator lights, and the “
0 dB
”
indicator lights occasionally at peaks.
NOTES:
• The optimal recording level may differ
somewhat depending on the audio source
and type of tape used. In order to obtain the
best possible results, set the recording level
after actual testing. Listen to your recordings,
and adjust the level as necessary.
• The level meter may react differently during
recording and playback of the same tape.
This is due to differences in tape sensitivity,
and creates no problem.
1. Set the
REC LEVEL control
to the
MIN

2. Press the
recording
(

3. Press the
