3 Adjust the Hi-Fi recording level.
a. Set the REC LEVEL switch to "MANUAL".
b. Select Hi-Fi audio with the AUDIO OUT
SELECT button. (See page 18).
c. Adjust the recording level and L/R balance.
While checking with the audio level meter,
adjust with the REC LEVEL and BALANCE
knobs, set the level so that maximum volume
causes the meters to vary between 0dB to 4dB.
Perform adjustment carefully, as too low a
recording level may lead to a greater noise and
too high a level may cause a distortion.

Notes:
●VHS recording is not possible with S-VHS
cassette.
●When pause remains for longer than five
minutes, the machine automatically stops
recording to protect tape and video head from
damage.
How to Check the Tape Remaining Time
Press the COUNTER/REMAIN button during
recording or playback.
Every press of the button changes the display,
alternating between counter reading and tape
remaining time.
Notes:
●The tape remaining time is just an approxi-
mation you can refer to.
●Depending on the type of tape used, there may
be times when the tape remaining time reading
may not appear right away or is not correct.
You can cut unnecessary parts of a program during
recording. This facility does not work when a W-VHS
tape is used.
a. With the recording pause mode engaged, search
for the beginning of the unnecessary part (where
you want to adjoin the program) with JOG dial or
SHUTTLE ring.
b. Let go of the JOG/SHUTTLE at the start of the
unnecessary part.
The unit enters the pause mode when you do this.
c. Press PLAY button at the part of the program you
want to continue recording.
Recording resumes.
