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.

loud enough, or if it is distorted, select the appropriate
sound input level before recording.

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

press SET.
“Level 1”: Select when the recorded sound is
distorted. This setting reduces the input
signal level. (Initial setting when shipped

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