Chapter 3 Recording and Playback
To change the number of audio channels to be recorded
Change the setting of extended menu item 818 between 2-channel (2CH)
mode and 4-channel (4CH) mode.
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.
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 transport control section (page 22) and the PB/EE button in the monitor/
menu/display setting section (page 17).
To change the display range of the audio level meters
Press the METER FULL/FINE button (see page 16).
Setting the reference level
The analog input reference level is determined by the settings of the
AUDIO IN LEVEL/600 Ω switch (see page 32) and extended menu item
811. When, for example, the AUDIO IN LEVEL/600 Ω switch is set to
+4 dBm (HIGH-ON) and extended menu item 811 to
–20
dB, the reference
level is set to –20 dB, causing +4 dBm analog input to be converted into a
–20 dBFS digital signal.

Recording Time Code and User Bit Values
There are the following two ways of recording time code:
•Setting an initial value, then recording the output of the internal time code
generator
•Recording the output of the internal time code generator synchronized to
an external time code generator
To set an initial value then record the time code
Use the procedure described in the section
“Setting an Initial Time Code
Value” (page 39), then carry out the recording operation (see page 48).
Setting the time code value to the current time
See page 40.
Setting a user bit value
See page 41.
To synchronize the internal time code generator to an external
signal
See page 42.
