C.A.R. 4000 (English)
39
automatic start as
ASD
, meaning Automatic Signal Detection. You activate the ASD automati-
cally as soon as you move the pointer from the position on the far left to right, and you corre-
spondingly disable signal detection when you move the pointer to the extreme left position.
Gain.
Press the down button again to get to Gain. Here you can amplify an input signal up to
22 dB. You also rotate the wheel left and right to set amplification. At the 0 dB setting there is
no amplification. The Gain function is disabled at the digital input to prevent the signal from
this source from being corrupted.
The time indicator to the left of Gain shows the duration of the recording. The display flashes
to show that the recording is not running yet.
Clippings.
Distortion during recording is also referred to as Clipping. If distortion occurs, the
bars indicate that it is occurring and the number (002) shows that distortion has occurred
twice in this session. During longer recording sessions you can see how often distortion has
occurred—preferably not at all, of course.
After you have set the controls as required, press the record button again and recording starts
or the ASD is switched on. Press the STOP button to interrupt recording. You enter the name of
your recording with the corresponding settings menu; more on that now.
