onto
the
normal

is
controlled
by
the
built-in
Automatic

Control
circuit,
hi-fi
audio
recording
has two control options: manual and automatic.
AUDIO-BEGRENZER switch
Setting this switch to EIN activates the built-in audio
limiter circuit for both channels so that the recording
level is automatically controlled. For manual adjustment,
set this switch to AUS. (The recording level for normal
audio is always controlled automatically regardless of the
setting of this switch.)
PEGELANZEIGE switch and SPURLAGE buttons
The right-channel audio evel indicator also functions
as a tracking meter during playback. If noise or breaks
are sensed in the reproduced sound from the hi-fi
audio track or noise bars are visible on the screen,
attempt to correct using the SPURLAGE buttons
while referring to the meter. For this purpose, set
this switch to Hi-Fi SPURLAGE and press the buttons
so that the greatest number of elements of the right-
channel indicator tight. When this switch is set to
AUS, the indicators do not light, regardless of
whether during recording or playback.
Note:
When playing back a tape with no recording on the hi-
fi audio track, the level indicator does not light when
the PEGELANZEIGE switch is set to Hi-Fi SPUR-
Audio level indicators
For manual control of the recording level, first set the
relevant switches as follows:
AUDIO-BEGRENZER ® > Aus
PEGELANZEIGE ® = EIN
AUDIO MONITOR ® = L and R (Hi-Fi Stereo)
Then slide the Hi-Fi AUFN. controls referring to these
indicators, When indicators up to or near O dB light for
the loudest signal being applied, the recording level is
optimum. (The level at which only one red indicator lights
from time to time may be most appropriate.)
During playback, these indicators show the level of audio
signals recorded on the tape.
These indicators do not light when the PEGELANZEIGE
switch is in the AUS position.
Notes:
@With the AUDIO MONITOR and AUDIO MIX buttons
Pressed so either L, R or NORM lights on the FDP, the
recording level of hi-fi audio signals cannot be correctly
indicated. Select the L and R indication when adjust-
ing the recording level.
©The normal audio signal level is also displayed by these
indicators, but cannot be adjusted.

HF AUSGANG connector
Delivers audio (both hi-fi and normal) and video signals to a
TV receiver. When the recorder is not used, the aerial signal
is supplied from this connector to the TV receiver to allow
regular TV viewing; when a video tape is played back
through the HF AUSGANG connector, the audio is repro-
duced always as monaural; with hi-fi stereo tapes, both
channels are mixed. Therefore, for stereo playback, connect
a stereo system to the AUDIO AUSG. connectors or a
stereo television to the A/V1 EING./AUSG. socket. Refer
to page 40.
