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).
