Adjusting of Audio Recording Levels

This DVD recorder’s audio recording levels can be adjusted using two different methods, and AUDIO REC VOLUME MODE from the RECORDER MENU (2/2) screen indicates the method to be used. In addition, it is also possible to return the audio recording levels to their default settings (i.e., unity gain).

Note: The AUDIO INPUT LEVEL switch on the DVD recorder’s rear panel can be used to select the reference input level for analog audio (i.e., +4 dB or –8 dB).

Checking the Video Input

Use the monitor connected to the VIDEO LINE OUT or Y/C OUT terminal to confirm that the input video signal is as required. The following procedure will allow you to monitor the quality at which the video will be recorded to a DVD.
