Adjusting the audio recording levels
When carrying out audio recording at a
reference level
Leave the REC controls pressed in. The audio signals
will be recorded at a preset reference level (a reference
0 dB indication for an input of +4 dBm).
Manually adjusting the recording levels
For each channel, pull out the REC control in the
upper control panel, and adjust so that the audio level
indication is 0 dB for an average volume. Carry out
the adjustment in E-E mode.
For details of selecting the E-E mode, see the description of
the REC button in the tape/disk transport control section
(page 2-16) and the PB.EE button in the monitor/menu/
display setting section (page 2-9).

To monitor the simultaneous playback of
the recorded video and audio signals
Make a setting with extended menu item 316 to enable
the CONFI playback function.
For details, see section 7-3, “Extended Menu” (page 7-9).
To use the emphasis function
To add emphasis to the analog input audio signal or
analog playback audio signal, set the EMPHASIS
switch on the subsidiary control panel to the ON
position.
When the signal to which emphasis has been applied is
played back, it is automatically subjected to
deemphasis processing.
Using the emphasis-deemphasis processing enables the
dynamic range to be improved by reducing high-
frequency noise.
