4-4-2 Adjusting the audio signal recording levels

The procedure for manually adjusting the levels at which the signals are to be recorded on audio tracks CH1 and CH2 is set forth below.

1 Set the MONITOR SELECT switch to the CH1/2 position so that the audio level meter display in the display window indicates CH1 and CH2, and check that 1 and 2 are actually indicated as the display in the display window. Before proceeding any further, on the menu, set whether to activate the F.AUDIO LEVEL controls which are used for attenuation. (At the factory, the mode in which these controls are inactive is established.)

2 Set the AUDIO SELECT CH1 and CH2 buttons to MAN (manual).

3 While monitoring the audio level meter in the display window or the audio level meter display inside the viewfinder, adjust the AUDIO LEVEL CH1 and CH2 controls. If the uppermost bar (0 dB) is exceeded, the “OVER” display lights up to indicate that the input volume is too high. The level must be adjusted so that 0 dB will not be indicated even under maximum volume conditions.
