Chapter 4 Adjustments and Settings for Recording (continued)

4-4-2 Adjusting Recording Levels

To adjust the recording levels for Audio Channels 1 and 2, follow the steps below.

1Position the MONITOR SELECT CH1/2 / CH3/4- selector switch at CH1/2 so that the audio level meter on the display window will provide CH1 and CH2 indications. Ensure that the channel indications displayed in the window are 1 and 2.

Whether to enable or disable the FRONT AUDIO LEVEL control must be preset through menu options FRONT VR CH1 and FRONT VR CH2. Note that this control is factory-disabled.

The menu options are found in the MIC/AUDIO1 screen, which is accessible from the MAIN OPERATION page.

2Position the AUDIO SELECT CH1/CH2 switch at [MAN].

3While checking the audio channel level meter in the display window or the audio level meter in the viewfinder, adjust the AUDIO LEVEL CH1/CH2 control. Note that if the level exceeds the top bar (0 dB), the word OVER illuminates to show that the input level is excessive. The adjustment made in such a way that the maximum level will not reach the 0 dB bar.

When operating the AJ-SPC700P without a sound recordist, it is recommended that the FRONT AUDIO LEVEL control should be used to adjust the audio level.

In advance, check the level meter in the viewfinder screen and use the AUDIO LEVEL control to adjust the appropriate audio channel so that no excessive audio signals will be admitted.
