SETTING

THE

RECORDING

LEVEL

Adjustment

of

the

recording

level

is

a

key

point

in

making

record-

ings

with

good

sound

quality.

It

is

necessary

to

set

the

recording

level

as

high

as

possible

in

order

to

optimize

the

signal-to-noise

ratio

and

expand

the

dynamic

range.

However,

if

the

recording

level

is

set

excessively

high,

the

recorded

sound

will

be

distorted.

On

the

other

hand,

if in

order

to

avoid

distortion

the

recording

level

is

set

too

low,

tape

hiss

noise

will

become

noticeable.

If

the

maximum

level

of

the

sound

to

be

recorded

is

set

right

at

the

limit

{the

maximum

recording

level)

of

the

tape,

the

characteris-

tics

of

the

tape

will

be

fully

utilized

and

good

sound

quality

will

result,

The

maximum

recording

level

of

a

tape

depends

on

its

type,

so

it

is

necessary

to

make

adjustments

to

match

the

type

of

tape

in

use.

With

normal

(NORM)

and

chrome

(CrO.)

tapes,

use

the

REC

LEVEL

control

8)

to

adjust

the

recording

level

so

that

the

+5

dB

indicator

on

the

display

lights

occasionally.

With

metal

(METAL)

tapes,

adjust

the

recording

level

so

that

the

+8

dB

in-

dicator

on

the

level

display

lights

occasionally.

The

level

meter

provided

on

this

unit

has

a

peak

function.

This

function

holds

the

for

2

seconds

to

Actually,

the

optimum

level

also

varies

slightly

accord-

ing

to

the

type

of

music

or

brand

of

tape.

To

fully

utilize

tape

characteristics

and

make

even

better

quality

recordings,

it

is

also

important

for

you

to

listen

to

your
