ALC is usually not desired when recording music (voice or instrument) because the transitions in input level may be audible in the recording, and can make the recording ‘hissy’ by raising the level during quiet passages and recording ambient noise.
The REC LEVEL controls do not work when the LEVEL CONT. switch is set at ALC.
US default: LEVEL CONT. switch at ALC.
Europe default: LEVEL CONT. switch at

The nine input choices are:
mono with INT MIC input stereo with LINE input mono with LINE input (L only)
LR mono with LINE input (L + R mix) DigiIn (digital input)
stereo with MIC input
DLmono with MIC input (dual level mono, L only)
mono with MIC input (L only) LRmono with MIC input (L + R mix)
Note: The PMD670 'listens' only to the selected input. For example if the input selected is LRmono with LINE input, and no input source is connected to the LINE IN jacks the PMD670 will record silence.
US default: mono with INT MIC input.
Europe default: stereo with MIC input.
What the input selections do:
Selects the input device(s) and channels The input selection chooses which input(s) the PMD670 is using for recording and how many channels are recorded.
Selects the recording (file) parameters
The input selection also determines which set of algorithm/file parameters are used (stereo file, mono file, or digital file).
Recording (file) parameters:
stereo (recorded as a stereo file): stereo with LINE input, stereo with MIC input, DLmono with MIC input.
mono (recorded as a mono file): mono with INT MIC input, mono with LINE input, LR mono with LINE input, mono with MIC input, LRmono with MIC input.
digital (recorded as a digital file): DIGITAL IN
input.
The default algorithm/file parameters are:
stereo file: MP2, 48kHz sample frequency, 128kbps per channel, and file extension .mpg.
mono file: MP3, 44.1kHz sample frequency, 32kbps, and file extension .mp3.
digital file: MP2, 44.1kHz or 48kHz sample frequency (dependent on input source rather than default or PMD670 menu selection), 128kbps, and file extension .mpg.
Via the Algor/File Menu choice, the algorithm/file parameters for stereo, mono or digital files can be changed. See Algor/File Menu choice on page 29.
