Mi RECORDING WITH HIGH TONE QUALITY
Input level meter
APRS function
Because the dynamic range of cassette tape is narrower than the
dynamic range of a digital source, the recording will be too noisy if
the recording level setting is too low, and, conversely, the recorded
sound will be distorted if the setting is too high.
It was for this reason that it has always been recommended that
the signals to be recorded be first (before recording) input to the
cassette deck and the recording level then be set while watching
the level meter, but, for former conventional level meter equipped
with the peak-hold function, it was necessary to re-adjust and input
the signals again if the level setting was too high or too low.
This unit, however, is equipped with the APRS: Advanced
Precise Recording-level System, which holds and displays the
maximum peak of the input signal level, so that once the peak level
of the source is held, there is no necessity to re-input the source
signals, and the optimum recording level can be set.
eThe APRS function can be used only during the recording-
standby mode.
1 Prepare for recording as described in steps 1
to 6.
1 switch the amplifier ON, and select the input
source.
2 Switch OFF the timer switch.
3 Switch ON the power “standby © /on”’ switch.
4
Press the open/close button to open the
cassette holder, and then insert the cassette
to be used for recording.
(The part of the cassette where the
tape is exposed should face down-
ward.)
Press the open/ciose button again to close
the cassette hoider.
5 Press the button corresponding to the
noise-reduction system to be used.
(The noise-reduction indicator will illuminate.)
If no noise-reduction system is to be used, press the
noise-reduction button corresponding to the noise-reduction
indicator that is illuminated. (The indicator will then switch
OFF.)
6 The sound source to be recorded should be
played before the recording is started in
order to adjust the recording level.
2 Press the record button.
(The recording indicator will illuminate and the playback
indicator will flash continuously; the unit will be in the
recording stand-by mode.)
3 Set the recording-level control and the
recording-balance control to the suitable
position for the sound source.
4 Press the APRS button.
(The APRS indicator will illuminate.)
5 Play the sound source to be recorded, from
beginning to end.
{The peak level (the highest level of the input signal) of the
sound source will be displayed and held on the input-level
meter.]
Input level meter
Peak levei
Note:
The range within which the peak level can be held is
—8 dB to +16 dB. Note that the APRS indicator will
flash continuously if the peak level of the sound source
is input at a level that exceeds the maximum recording
level (+16° dB).
if that happens, press the APRS button to cancel the
APRS function, and then reset the recording level and
set the APRS once again.
6 Using the recording-level control, adjust the
peak level to the desired setting.
The peak level will move to the right when the recording-level
control is turned to the right, and will move to the left when the
recording-level control is turned to the left.
®The recording-balance control cannot be used to adjust the
peak level.
v4 Begin playing the sound source from the
beginning once again.
8 Press the playback button.
(The playback indicator will illuminate steadily, and the
recording will begin.)
The APRS indicator will switch OFF, and the indication of the
input-level meter will return to the ordinary peak-hold rode.
