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. Con-
versely, if it is too high, the recording will
contain distorted sound.
1. Set the auto monitor button to
SOURCE. In the recording or rec/pause
mode, it is automatically set to
SOURCE.
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 valance
control.
Turn to adjust the difference in
level between the left and right
channels
@ When the source signals are supplied
via the CD DIRECT terminals, the
balance control does not work and it is
impossible to adjust the balance
between channels.

Record Muting Operation
The ability to leave blank unrecorded
(erased) sections on a tape during
recording is a real advantage in many
recording situations. For instance, you
may want to eliminate undesired portions
of an FM broadcast that you are
recording, such as commercials, station
breaks or announcements. You may also
want to record a complete program with
controlled spacing between tunes. Such
blank sections can easily be left using the
rec mode function.
Automatic Spacing Operation — for a
4-second blank — (during recording)
Press the rec mute button during
recording.The tape continues to run,
and a blank of about 4 seconds is left
(the record buttons flashes).
After 4 seconds, the deck automatically
switches to the record-pause mode
(both the record and pause buttons
light).
To start recording the next tune, press
the » or a button.
