What is the Auto Rec Level function?

The Auto Rec Level function automatically sets the
recording level according to the peak signal level of the
program source.  While the AUTO indicator is flashing,
the deck sets the recording level as high as possible
without causing distortion.  If the signal level rises
excessively after the start of recording, the deck
gradually decreases the recording level.

z

You should adjust the recording level manually with
the REC LEVEL control in the following cases:

• The recording level cannot be adjusted properly due

to excessive noise in the program source.

• The program source level is too low and the

recording level does not increase.
During a quiet passage in a program source such as
classical music, the recording level may not increase
for some time.  If a high sound level is expected later
on in the track, play that portion first so that the right
adjustment can be obtained.

• The recording level does not decrease for a long time.

The Auto Rec Level function may not work properly
when you try to record sound produced by a graphic
equalizer that has extremely high-level signals.

z

To record with the optimum recording level

• To prevent changes in the recording level after

recording starts, press REC 

r

 while playing the

highest sound level portion of the program source to
be recorded.  The result is a more natural-sounding
recording.

• If you play the entire program source after the AUTO

indicator has stopped flashing and is lit continuously,
the deck will set the recording level for the portion of
the program source with the highest signal level.

z

Recording level setting remains even after the
recording has ended

After you have finished recording with the Auto Rec
Level function, the AUTO indicator remains on and the
recording level setting remains the same.  To cancel the
setting, do one of the following:
• Press ARL to turn off the AUTO indicator
• Turn REC LEVEL
• Turn the deck off.
