*Since the linear counter is not a clock,
there is a discrepancy between the actual
recording/playback time and counter
reading.
* Once the power is switched off, “C-60"
appears when the power is switched on
again.
* After setting is complete, the tape length
is indicated for approx. 5 seconds; after
that, the counter indication is resumed.
*Set the tape length again after a cassette
with a different length is loaded or the
power is switched on,
CAUTION:
Recording pre-recorded tapes, records,
or other published or broadcast material
may infringe copyright laws. Check
before recording.
Adjusting Recording Level —
By setting the recording level appropriate-
ly, it is possible to make best use of any
tape’s characteristics.
If the recording level is too low, hiss noise
will be conspicuous in recording. Converse-
ly, if it is too high, the recording will con-
tain distorted sound.
1. Set the AUTO MONITOR button to
SOURCE. In the recording or rec/pause
mode, it is automatically set to SOUR-
CE.
2, So that the peak in the source to be
recorded indicates the specified level
on the PEAK LEVEL METER, adjust
using the REC LEVEL control and
BALANCE control.
Turn to adjust the difference in level
between the left and right channels.
When the source signals are supplied via
the CD DIRECT IN connectors, the
BALANCE control does not work and it is
impossible to adjust the balance between
channels.

back" mode,

cording level using the REC LEVEL
control and BALANCE control.

the STOP button.
*The checking of CD level is possible when
this deck is in the stop mode,
* Recording level adjustment using CD
level check is only possible when the CD

player is in the normal play mode.
*Some CD players do not output signals
at the correct level in the fast play mode.
