Notes on Peak Search
e The unit scans input levels of the whole disc and determines the peak
{maximum input level) among them. The peak determined with this
function is sometimes slightly different from the real one. In addition,
portions determined as a peak vary each time this function is carried out
on the same disc. The difference between the determined and the real peak
is however, negligible and will not prevent you from adjusting the
recording level.
e Peak search does not work if you press EX-CHANGE to open the disc tray.
