Denon DRW-585 - Recording Optimization and Controls; Optimal Recording Level; Bias Fine Tuning; Special Function Button Usage

ENGLISH
■ PROPER RECORDING LEVEL
A too high recording level can saturate the tape and cause distortion.
On the other hand, if the recording level is set too low, soft passages
will be marked by residual noise A proper recording level is the single
most important factor for making well balanced recordings.
Guideline for maximum recording level
TYPE 1 (Normal) 0 dB level on peaks
TYPE II (CrO ? )
+ 1 dB level on peaks
TYPE IV (Metal) 4 3 dB level on peaks
Note: The optimum recording level differs depending on the program
source and the type of tape used.
■ RECORDING BIAS ADJUSTMENT
For best recording results, monitoring during recording and comparing
different recordings using your own judgement are essential.
The DENON cassette deck is equipped with a BIAS FINE control to
assist you in setting the proper bias for different types and brands of
tape. At the center stop-click position, the deck is set to the reference
bias level for Normal, Cr0 2 and Metal tape. If the resulting recording in
this position has too much or too little high frequency content,
adjusting the BIAS FINE control can be useful to achieve better results
BIAS FINE
If the high frequencies (treble sounds) are to be boosted, turn the BIAS
FINE control counter-clockwise to decrease the bias current. Turn the
control clockwise to increase bias current.
By the use of this control, you can record tapes with a frequency
response that will perfectly match your listening taste.
