Setting the analog recording level

Compared to analog tape, the distortion that you get from overloading a CD is much less tolerable, and something you’ll definitely want to avoid.

What you want to aim for is a level where the loudest sound from your source material is recorded onto the CD at a level just below the point where it overloads (where it produces an unpleasant, buzzy distortion).

1Press INPUT SELECTOR to choose the analog input.

Pressing INPUT SELECTOR repeatedly switches the active input:

Analog - Optical - Coaxial

The recorder’s display indicates the current input.

2Make sure the recorder is stopped, then press RECORD ¦ ( ¦ REC on the remote control).

The recorder goes into record-pause. (You can also press MONITOR.)

3Start playing the source.

4Adjust the recording level using the ANALOG REC LEVEL control.

DonÕt let the recording level to reach the red OVER indicator!

The maximum recording level should be in this area.

When you’re happy with the recording level, stop the source.
