RECORDING BIAS ADJUSTMENT
For best recording results, monitoring during the recording
process and comparing various recordings using your own
judgement are essential.
The DRM-710 is equipped with a bias adjustment
control to assist you in setting the proper bias for different
types and brands of recording tape. At the center-stop
position, the deck is set for a reference bias level for
NORMAL, CrO: and METAL tapes. If the resulting recording
in this position has too much or too little high frequency
BIAS FINE
content, varying the bias adjustment control can be useful
to achieve betterresults.
If the high frequencies (treble sounds) are to be boosted,
turn the bias control counterclockwise to decreases bias
current. If distortion is of more concern than high frequency
response, turn the control! clockwise to increase bias current,
By the use of this control, you can record tapes with res-
ponse that matches your personnal listening tastes.
