output
power, may
be
used for playback.
Stereo

however,
must
be
switched
to
mono
operation.

Setting
the
correct
record
level
Adjusting
to
the
correct signal strength for recording is called
"setting
the
record level" and is reflected by
the
level me-
30
ter
(16). Turn level contral

the
right unlil
lhe
level meter registers 0 dB at the loudest programme passages.
If the correct record level is not reached,
the
quality
of
the
subsequent playback will be unsatisfactory: there will be strong
tape hiss because the optimal signal-to-noise ratio
of
the
ma-
chine will not have been fully utilized. When
the
pointer moves
into the red segment
of
the
meter scale, the recording will
be overloaded, and playback will be distorted. Consequently,
particular attention should be given
to
setting the correct re-
. cord level. The level meter registers peak signal readings on
a scale calibrated
in
dB.
