MICROPHONE MIXING DURING RECORDING
By connecting a microphone, microphone mixing during record- ing is possible by following the recording procedure. Adjust the microphone input level by setting the

RECORDING LEVEL ADJUSTMENT
Adjust the recording level while observing the peak level indica- tor indication.
For example:
With metal tape
Because of metal tape's higher saturation level, it is OK that ``+ 2'' lights occasionally.
With normal or chrome tape
It is OK that ``+ 0'' lights occasionally.
·When the recording level is too low, the hiss noise inherent in the tape will be conspicuous.
·When the recording level is too high, exceeding the saturation level, the recording will contain cracking noise and will be dis- torted.
·If ``+ 4'' lights too often because the recording level is too high, the recorded sound may be distorted and seem to be breaking up. If only ``0'' lights infrequently, the level is too low and the recording may contain tape hiss.
It is best to adjust so that the maximum sound level of the source to be recorded reaches the very limit of the saturation level of the tape to be used.
The best level varies depending on the type of music and type of tape so it is better to make a test recording, using FM music, records, etc.

·The peak level indicator lights even during record muting according to the input level which can be heard from the speakers or headphones so that recording can be resumed at the exact point on the tape.
ERASING
When recording on a prerecorded tape, the previous recording is automatically erased and only the new program is recorded on the tape.
To erase a tape without making a new recording...
Follow the section ``RECORDING'' but in step 8, set the INPUT LEVEL control to MIN.
DOLBY NR and DOLBY HX PRO
Dolby NR System
To reduce the hiss inherent in tape recording, use the Dolby NR System when making recordings. When listening to a tape recorded with the Dolby NR System, press the DOLBY NR but- ton to set to B or C according to the system selected in the recording mode.
Note:
The sound quality will change if the setting of the DOLBY NR button is different in recording and playback.
Dolby HX PRO headroom extension
When a source which contains many
This will result in phenomena such as changes in the level of
Dolby HX PRO headroom extension system controls the bias current so that the effective bias is constant even when there are fluctuations in the
This greatly improves the
·The dynamic sound recorded with this system sounds the same even when the tape is played back in a deck that does not have Dolby HX PRO.
·This system automatically works when in recording; however, Dolby HX PRO is not a noise reduction system.
