Setting the input level
1. From the main screen, press the [ ] button.
The REC indicator will blink, and the R-26 will enter recording-standby mode.
2. Produce sound on the source you’re recording.
The level meter will move according to the loudness of the sound being input to the R-26.
3. Turn the [INPUT 1] knob and [INPUT 2] knob to adjust the input level.
Adjust the level until it is as high as you can get it without causing the PEAK indicator, or PEAK in
the level meter, to light.
The recording sources adjusted by each knob will depend on the combination of REC MODE and
REC SOURCE you’ve selected.

How input sensitivity and input level are related

Input sensitivity adjusts the loudness of the input signal being received as the
recording source. Input level is an additional ne adjustment applied to the signal
after it’s been adjusted by input sensitivity, in order to optimize it for recording.
* Adjust the input sensitivity in the following situations.
• The level meters don’t move suciently even when the knob is in the maximum
position.
• The PEAK indicator lights even when the knob is in the minimum position.
