To select the sound input level

This is only used for recording from an analog source (ex. tape or VCR) connected to the TAPE jacks on the rear.

If the recorded sound from such an analog source is not loud enough, or if it is distorted, select the appropriate sound input level before recording.

On the unit ONLY:

1 While “TAPE” is selected as the source to play, press and hold PLAY/REC MODE until “TAPE INPUT” appears in the main display.

2 Push the joy control upward (` ) or downward (1 ) to select the recording input level, then press SET.

•“Level 1”: Select when the recorded sound is distorted. This setting reduces the input signal level. (Initial setting when shipped from the factory)

•“Level 2”: Select when the recorded sound is not loud enough. This setting increases the input signal level.
