Chapter 4 Adjustments and settings for recording (continued)
When the AUDIO SELECT CH1/CH2 switch is set to AUTO, the recording levels on audio tracks CH1 and CH2 are adjusted automatically. On the other hand, when it is set to MAN, the levels can be adjusted manually. The recording levels on audio tracks CH3 and CH4 can be selected using the menu.
Use the AUDIO IN switch to select the input signals to be recorded on audio tracks CH1, CH2, CH3 and CH4.

The procedure for manually adjusting the levels at which the signals are to be recorded on audio tracks CH1 and CH2 is set forth below.
1 Set the MONITOR SELECT switch to the CH1/2 position so that the audio level meter display in the display window indicates CH1 and CH2, and check that 1 and 2 4 are actually indicated as the display in the display window. Before proceeding any further, on the menu, set whether to activate the F.AUDIO LEVEL controls which are used for attenuation. (At the factory, the mode
in which these controls are inactive is established.)
2 Set the AUDIO SELECT CH1 and CH2 buttons to MAN (manual).
3 While monitoring the audio level meter in the display window or the audio level meter display inside the viewfinder, adjust the AUDIO LEVEL CH1 and CH2 controls. If the uppermost bar (0 dB) is exceeded, the “OVER” display lights up to indicate that the input volume is too high. The level must be adjusted so that 0 dB will not be indicated even under maximum volume conditions.

Audio level meter display inside viewfinder
For the audio levels to be adjusted by one person only, it is recommended that the F.AUDIO LEVEL controls be used. Select in advance the audio channels whose levels are to be adjusted, and while monitoring the level meter on the viewfinder screen, adjust the F.AUDIO LEVEL controls in such a way that the input will not be too high.
